Macdonald Linden Hall Golf and Country Club

A bit disappointing, room next door to the loft and you could hear everyone coming and going. Breakfast was tasty but did not contain all items advertised.

If the boss of Macdonald from secret millionaire was to visit here I think they would re-deploy the young woman on reception! Three times I conversed with her and each time she was either flustered during checkin (I would guess this is more her doing than workload), curt - when simply asking where the restaurant was for breakfast or unhelpful on checkout when asking for a VAT receipt. She replied can you wait until Christmas for the receipt! When I said I willwait because our company accounts require it, it took her 1 minute only to produce!!! This is the first and last impression you encounter at the hotel. The staff in the on-site pub were great. Maybe put one of these on reception? The present one with dark hair and a face like she's not really cut out for hospotality needs more training in my opinion.

An enjoyable stay at the Hotel, the spa was good except for the showers which required repair of the shower heads. The breakfast was very good. However the dinner was only available in the Linden Tree pub. The menu there was limited and the standard of food was very poor. I would eat elsewhere rather than here.

The hotel is tired and needs some updates. However the positive are the staff, nothing is too much trouble

We had an amazing stay. The staff were fantastic , and the hotel is beautiful, surrounded by stunning grounds. We slept like a log every night , and the bed was so comfortable . Breakfast was amazing too , one of the best hotel breakfasts ive ever had. Unfortunately the corridors and rooms are a bit tired around the edges and needing a little tlc , the carpets are getting a bit threadbare and the corrodors smell a bit stale

Stay was amazing. On initial arrival reception was manned by a new member of staff who was very helpful. The older member of staff was very demeening to the new member on over three issues which i thought very unprofessional and impolite.

Excellent, responsive staff, beautiful location, relaxing ambience, fantastic spa and swimming facilities, great breakfast....not sure what else one can ask. Will certainly be one of my top place to indulge and relax.

It was good for the price paid but would not like the service offered at full price.

The staff were excellent - friendly and endlessly helpful. The spa was well appointed and spotless. However our room was "tired": the bath was chipped and marked in several place, the mirror was chipped around every edge, the paintwork was poor and missing in some places and there were two large damp patches on the bedroom ceiling. We also had a grim meal on the second night in "The Pub" - about which we complained.
