Liked: Staff & service, amenities
A nice hotel, but obviously catering to large group bookings, the spa facilities are good, but worth noting that you can't use most of the spa if you are a just a normal hotel guest (you need to be on a dedicated spa experience).
Our stay was amazing, the hotel looked lovely as we drove in. The staff couldn’t be anymore helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We had a lovely meal in the rib house, the service and food were excellent. The spa treatment was much needed and enjoyable. Could not speak anymore highly of Ramside Hall
We came for university open day so it was a flying visit
The hotel
And facilities were really great and varied.
We didn’t realise so many good food options were available so we ate a quick rushed dinner near Durham station . Wish we had known about the dinner choices available at the hotel . Breakfast was really good with lots of choices. It was a shame we didn’t have time to enjoy everything on offer . Only problem for me was that the mattress was very old and saggy - this meant that I woke up with a back pain which then lasted for about a week or so . Might be worth management checking and replacing and worn out mattresses . Other than that it was great stay thank you staff .
We received a very warm welcome upon arrival from the reception staff. They were very helpful and friendly
Our room was very nice and clean. The shower over the bath could do with upgrading
The grounds are beautiful and although it was very busy with two weddings and and abundance of golfers there was plenty of staff to accommodate the demand. I would definitely recommend and stay again
Stayed three years ago still same decor tired looking and I had everything I requested twin beds shower room but the beds were so low I struggled to get in or out them as I’m slightly disabled . All the staff are wonderful it’s clean but please spend money on replacing tired rooms didn’t like single duvet in double cover kept sliding off bed .
