Ramside Hall Hotel, Golf and Spa

Ramside Hall Hotel, Golf and Spa

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely beautiful hotel stay. Spotlessly clean and lots of things to do whether you just want to kick back and relax in the luxurious spa or get involved in the golf, gym, bowling, shuffleboard etc. Food in the restaurants is really lovely too. We dined in the rib room and the carvery and were very pleased with both. Breakfast was also really good. Can't comment on fusion, hope to be back again soon so we can check them out. Only downside we experienced was the pillows were way to soft. We didn't get a good night sleep for the two nights we stayed. Will bring our own pillows from home next stay."

10/10 Excellent
"Me and a good friend were away for a weekend in Newcastle. We have stayed here quite a few times. Staff are always friendly and very helpful. Any requests I made were dealt with efficiently. Breakfast is good but a bit pricey in my opinion. We liked our room but we were put on the very top floor with many stairs. Overall we were very happy with our stay. Thank you"
