The property is in need of some basic maintenance and the rooms could do with an upgrade. But the staff were great as was the facilities.
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.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
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.
Fabulous place
I only stayed here because of a Bruce Springsteen concert in Sunderland so all the Hotels in Newcastle were full.
Well worth a visit.
Only downside was the size of my fish at dinner. Can only be described as a child’s portion but they brought another half without any complaint.
Really enjoyed our stay here with family. Great hotel, great staff would 100% go
Back again.

Not the stay we expected
From a property like this, I expected a much better stay but it wasn't up to the mark. The floor of the room was creaking so bad that we were afraid of walking & disturbing the guests downstairs & the shower was broken, we had to shower getting verrry close to the wall during our stay. for the price we paid here, we have had much better stays and expected this to be a wonderful experience as well but this isn't a property that looks well maintained or even looked after by the owners.

Already shared in the check in and dining review. First time I’ve ever been told that I am 15’ early for my dinner reservation and therefore can’t have a menu.
Also the communication between hotel and spa reception is hopeless.
Overall we felt like an inconvenience to staff.
Hotel facility was very good standard but I won’t stay again.

Train the receptionist!
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.
