Don't stay here! We foolishly booked in to this "hotel" for 3 nights at he end of October 24. The building,grounds and claimed facilities appeared to warrant its 4 star classification.Big mistake....learn from our error The building is beyond tired,its exhausted. Scruffy,dirty and uncared for is being polite. Our room on arrival was unheated and squalid. It was positioned close to the banqueting hall and next to the "dogroom" The music stopped after midnight but the barking of abandoned dogs lasted much longer. The night porter was inept and powerless. Breakfast was appalling. Tossed out with rudeness and disinterest by untrained personnel. The sausages and bacon were raw and the single slice of toast per guest measly. A request for another tea was declined. The final straw came when the shower spontaneously, and without warning, changed from tepid to scalding causing significant burns. We left to the luxury of a real 4 star establishment in Newcastle. Subsequently we wrote to the manager. He offered a return stay...ha never again! More importantly he claimed to be surprised by our criticisms. Clearly he has never read previous reviews. (I wish I had) I wrote to the Mac Donalds directors and got no reply. So be warned...save your money book elsewhere.

Excellent retreat
Lovely secluded hotel, beautiful building in absolutely gorgeous scenery. Food was delicious both in hotel restaurant for breakfast and afternoon tea and also in Linden Tree pub for evening meal. Bedroom was spacious and had all that was needed, comfy bed, good sized bathroom with a decent pressure shower over the bath. The spa was well worth the money too.

we paid for an upgrade which included 2 bottles of water- didnt have slippers didnt have no toiletries in bathroom and 7 dead flies!! we asked for housekeeping to clean the flies up we were given small bottles of toiletries and 2 bottles of water. asked for extra milk! during the evening we killed another 7 flies so asked to be moved which they did allow is to was given the upgrade money back and 10% back as well. i did feel that the staff didn’t believe me that there was no toiletries and also about the flies! also they want an extra £6 for poached eggs and avocado breakfast cost £24 already how can they justify another £6 it wasn't worth £24 the spa was u supervised and changing were untidy and not very clean

The bathroom had mould in it and we requested a move to another room which took place; the lockers in the gents changing room were dirty and in the ladies changing room there were flies; in the swimming pool the ceiling requires attention and showers next to the steam room the pannelling was curling up and dirty; we reserved a table in the restaurant and later informed that it only served breakfast and had to eat in the pub where the food was average and attention needs to be taken concerning peoples clothing which had food stains on them which is not a good look. The whole property is somewhat tired and requires investment. The staff were pleasant and listened to our request concerning the room.

This should not be advertised as a 4 star hotel. It looks great and the staff are fantastic. The rooms are falling apart and are dirty, needing upgrading. No bar after 7 pm which means a trip to the pub full of football fans if you don’t want to sit in your room. Restaurant is advertised as being upstairs with a view - it was in a conservatory next to the pub. If it is raining you need a coat to get to it. Breakfast was tiny and limited. Restaurant was very limited in choice. This is not worth the money - save yourself the expense and get a premier inn

We wanted to give a balanced view of our stay. The upgrade we requested was not available so we were given an alternative near the spa which was unfortunately noisy due to other guests. Upon request the receptionist was great & sorted us a suite which was quiet. The suite had a bit of a strange layout. It had 2 bathrooms, one with a shower & one with a bath, but the lounge area did not contain a tv. The sofas were a bit dirty so we didnt use it. The showet over the bath would fluctuate in temperature which wasn't good. We didn't use the restaurants for evening meals. We opted for the full english breakfast. The only part which was well cooked was the poached egg, all other items were either under or overcooked. Other guests have mentioned that you only get 1 slice of bacon, 1 sausage, half a tomato etc. It costs £24 per head and it really wasnt great . I was also shocked to see a £6 supplement for eggs benedict & other dishes which you can order in other establishments locally for under £10. The choice of cereals was good but pastries were limited. We looked at the menu for the linden pub & thought it was expensive for pub style food. The public areas are elegant & clean. We walked around the grounds which were lovely. However, the entrance driveways need the potholes repairing. We were saddened to see the state of the conservatory on the back of the property. That could be so lovely if restored. We really felt the hotel needed a bit of tlc.

The hotel and facilities is old and tired, needing maintenance and renovation. Some parts (bathrooms, corridors and swimming pool/leisure facilities) require paintwork and retiling to bring it up to the usual MacDonald standard. The dining experience sadly was poor. The evening meal in the Linden Tree pub was not of good quality and the children’s menu was more expensive and chargeable per course which differed to the two courses for £7.95 promoted in the hotel website menu. The cooked breakfast was also poor quality and the menu was full of expensive supplement costs.
