"The breakfast was first rate, the cooked breakfast was just enough and cooked to perfection. The staff were amazing, really friendly and helpful which greatly improved the whole experience. The building internally would benefit from a little attention eg. Some flaking paintwork in hallway, but nothing offensive, and did not affect our stay at all. The room was clean and well presented, so glad we upgraded to Deluxe double. Noticed a little black mould on the grout around bath, but it was clear that the bathroom had been thoroughly cleamed. We loved staying at the Macdonald Linden, and would happily recommend it to other travellers We hope to return soon. Great base for exploring the beauty of Northumberland. An altogether great weekend."

"Upgraded to a beautiful suite for a fraction of the advertised rate for our anniversary. Staff are friendly, rooms are large and clean with all needs considered. Live music and bar in the big tent was a bonus too! Lovely breakfast included in the price and dinner deal was great, the food was delicious!"

"Lovely, friendly staff and a beautiful restaurant. Fab little car park at the back, which is very handy. The only thing which might stop us staying again is the bed: it was really springy, old and uncomfortable, so neither of us slept well."

"Great place to stay. Fantastic in all respects. Superb breakfast and parking right outside. A real gem."

"Entrance comes a little fast but otherwise it's easy to find on the main road. Very clean and very comfortable and a wonderful breakfast!!"

"Lovely room n very good staff! Definitely a place to stay! "

"Amazing new owners and staff. Very attentive."

"Nice big room"

"Easily the best accommodation of a four-day stay in Northumberland. Everything in the Whittling House makes your trip a little bit better, from lovely staff to beautiful decor, homemade shortbread for the rooms to the comfy armchairs in the bar. Definitely worth the more premium price!"
