Macdonald Linden Hall Hotel, Golf & Spa

“Had a super stay - great hotel and great area.”

Staff were all friendly and helpful. The spa facilities were super - especially as our room was close to the pool, so I could go in my bathrobe. The TV sound could be heard in the bathroom and was a bit loud

The room was comfortable and the grounds were lovely; staff were friendly and helpful. The lift had been out of service for the third year running, and the cooked English breakfast alternatives cost an extra £6.

“Fantastic”

The grounds and building are beautiful and spotless, and everyone was incredibly helpful. The lift was out of order, but I still enjoyed the delicious breakfast on a stunning staircase—just a minor inconvenience, not a big deal.

We stayed at Linden Hall from 9th to 11th October 2026 and the experience fell far short of a four‑star standard. On the day of checkout we raised several complaints at reception and were told someone would contact us that same day, but nothing came through; we had to reach out ourselves and still received no reply. It’s frustrating to have to post a public review after giving the hotel a chance to fix things. Room 234 had a strong care‑home or hospital smell, likely because the window was left open; we arrived around 8 pm to find the heating off and the room freezing. We didn’t ask for an accessible room, yet it had an accessible bathroom. The room had five chairs for two guests, which felt odd. We moved to a smaller room with a smaller bed and a standard bathroom; the window was closed but the room remained cold with heating off again. No robes or slippers were provided, which is expected at a hotel of this standard. Overall the hotel looked tired and in need of major upkeep, with visible damp, water leaks, cracked paint and neglected maintenance—issues that question its four‑star status. Breakfast cost £24 per person per day; we expected a high‑quality spread, but specialty coffees were an extra £4 and some items cost up to £6 more. For that price, the portions and options were limited.

“Enjoyable stay but just needed a bit of TLC and great spa.”

I’m staying near the back of the McDonald’s portal and it feels just like that—no investment, tired look. The building could be great if someone put money into it, but right now it’s lacking.
