Newton-on-the-Moor and Swarland Hotels

"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!"

"Room was as expected, good size, bunk for teenager and enough room for the dog bed and dog to wonder round in. Room was reasonably clean, linen fresh and clean. Wifi struggled a little for 24hrs. Breakfast was plentiful, staff were lovely, nice touch in the room for the dog (treats). Would stay again."

"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."

"From checking in to check out the staff were friendly professional and even when busy were cheerful. Accommodation was clean comfortable and quiet. Access to either restaurant or cafe was easy. Good selection at the bar and meals were great standard."

"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!!"

"Our room was lovely and clean, the public areas were very comfortable and the grounds were well-maintained. The food did not really come up to our expectations and we only ate there on the first night."

"Great breakfast, great location, spacious room, plenty of parking "

"Amazing new owners and staff. Very attentive."
