Linden Hall, Longhorsley

Designed to the highest specifications by Jonathon Gaunt, Macdonald Linden Hall, Golf & Country Club's 18-hole golf course offers a real challenge to the good golfer while remaining sympathetic to the average player. The golf course completely surrounds the Hall, and has a feeling of great serenity with panoramic views of the Cheviots, Coquet Island and the Northumberland coastline. Sited on a mixture of mature woodland, parkland and rolling countryside, established lakes and burns have been utilised with sensitivity to provide interesting water features to match the peaceful surroundings. The course is cleverly designed in four loops of holes, ideal for those not playing a full round, as each loop finishes close to the Hall. The facilities include an undercover driving range, full specification putting green and a chipping and bunker practice area. A purpose built development offers changing facilities and a professionals shop. Adjacent to the first tee is the Linden Bar and Grill, providing an extensive menu and a warm welcome.

Built in 1812, Linden Hall is a fine example of Georgian architecture, boasting exceptional levels of comfort. Set in 450 acres of park and woodland, the hotel offers peaceful surroundings, a warm and friendly atmosphere, country pub and its own golf course with stunning views of the Nothumberland countryside. Modern comfort and traditional style combine beautifully in all bedrooms at Macdonald Linden Hall. Individually designed and furnished, each has a private bathroom and all modern facilities. Four-poster rooms and suites are available in addition to the single, twin and double rooms. Linden Hall has its very own pub, The Linden Tree, a traditional country inn. The excellent leisure facilities include a swimming pool, sauna, spa bath, a fitness suite and complete range of beauty treatments.
