Room fine. Staff very helpful. Quality of the food a little disappointing. Carvery was OK for me but not many vegetarian options for my wife.

8 / 10

Enjoyable visit that came up to expectations

8 / 10

Hotel was nice but lacked air conditioning on a really hot few days. The restaurant in the bar wasn’t sure what food we were having as part of our package and a member of staff used her fingers to pick up the chosen cakes for dessert which we found unbelievable, can you not get tongs in County Durham? When we asked if we could order wine with our meal we was told you can at the bar. The reception staff were friendly but could have offered more information about our eating arrangements. The spa was great and the staff friendly, it was really the restaurant that let the complex down, despite the food being pretty good.

Will definitely go back. Hotel rooms very comfortable, bar prices reasonable, staff very friendly and helpful. Some construction going on around the Cathedral course but bearable. Spa & clubhouse really good. Will be going babk when all the work is finished.

6 / 10

Very pleasant hotel with really good facilities Booked a Sunday Driver- Dinner, bed and breakfast. Dinner option was carvery food only which was at best average. The vegetables has clearly been cooked some hours earlier, the food was bland and uninteresting. Really disappointing for the price paid

6 / 10

Hotel was looking in parts tiered. Our room was clean, spacious and excellent location, over the 18th. Perfect for us. Glad we dined in the Fusion restaurant. We didn’t enjoy the quality of the breakfast, in fact, it was inedible! Doubtful of returning.

8 / 10

Nice place with friendly local staff. Bit annoying we weren't asked if we would like to upgrade our spa experience to utilise all its facilities until half way through our stay. Good breakfast options.

8 / 10

Hotel room was nice and the bar good. Breakfast was good but the evening carvery was disappointing.

The Hotel was exactly as advertised and provided all the facilities that you would expect of a Spa Resort. I was lucky enough to use the Pool on the Sunday Morning alongside the Jacuzzi, Steam and Sauna Rooms and it was gratifying that even as guests on a Golfing break, the facilities were free to use. (There was a 'premium' offer but I got to use everything I would care too)

Everything was excellent the staff really friendly nothing was too much trouble

10 / 10

First of all YGT should have the facility to rate the customer service, Craig has always been helpful and professional when booking our trips. Great stay on a golf Sunday stopover, everything was top notch, we missed the practice facilities my only problem was the beds were not firm enough. Oh and my golf could have been better!

8 / 10

Overall a very good hotel where we enjoyed our overnight stay. The rooms allocated were comfortable and adequate for what we wanted. We didn’t have time to utilise the spa facilities so cannot comment on them. Both the breakfast and evening meals were enjoyable.

10 / 10

Booked for my wife & friend. They shared a twin room which was lovely, warm and specious room. Dinner bed & breakfast very good with staff very attentive

10 / 10

Fantastic hotel, ideally located just off the A1. Food at the carvery was excellent. 12 ladies on a Sunday driver and were well accommodated near each other in our rooms. Enjoyed the spam - unfortunately we could only fit in 30 mins due to limited space but worth it.

10 / 10

All good with friendly staff

10 / 10

Excellent hotel with great staff and a great location. Find generally very good but the carvery was a bit disappointing.

8 / 10

Hotel is in a great location. Staff really friendly. Carvery very disappointing because they didn't reserve tables in the Carvery at 8pm for our party of 20 as arranged and confirmed with the hotel reception, I was told that they were too busy so we had to wait over half an hour to eat. Strange that they could seat a large party of gents at an earlier time. I took it up with the duty Manager who wasn't overly interested. A reservation is a reservation, very poor and unprofessional so I won't go back there.

10 / 10

Hotel was fantastic, lovely rooms, unfortunately we didn't get to stay Sunday evening even though @yourgolftravel assured me we had been booked in as non-golfers.

8 / 10

Pleased with hotel and Spa location also very good

Definitely can not fault the entire setup this was our 4th year here

Lovely big and comfortable room. Only criticism was that room could do with additional lighting ~ it was quite dark.

10 / 10

Excellent Overall but bars do close quite early

10 / 10

Our visit was for 20 people stopping 2 nights & playing golf over 3 days on both the Cathedral Course & the Prince Bishops Course. We were well received throughout our stay & also had a visit from the Club Captain which was a nice touch. This was our 1st time at this venue but I'm sure it won't be the last. This hotel & facilities has everything you need or could wish for. The staff can't do enough for you & all areas were well supported with friendly staff. I personally didn't have time to visit the spa area but some of my colleagues did & they were very impressed. Rooms were well appointed & comfortable. Bars & restaurants were busy, but well staffed & the food was excellent. The Golf/Pro shop was well staffed & efficient on all 3 days with a good choice of golf clothing & accessories etc.

10 / 10

Really nice and comfy hotel .But was very dissatisfied with the steak restaurant it was overpriced and the meat was of low quality very thin steaks and burnt route edges .

8 / 10

Everything was fine apart from the evening meal where they had run out of some deserts by the time we went to collect them.

Hotel, restaurant and spa beautiful as always

10 / 10

The hotel & spa were very busy, & on arrival we had to park 100 yards from the reception. The reception staff were very helpful, but could not find our paperwork, so we booked in after playing our first round of golf. After that, everything went smoothly, including room, food & service. We also recharged our Tesla overnight!

8 / 10

Enjoyed our stay, lovely rooms, carvery was good, also good breakfast selection. We would definitely return and have no hesitation to recommend it.

10 / 10

The hotel catered for all our needs without any issues whatsoever so ideal considering we were 20 golfers

10 / 10

This hotel is absolutely fantastic, the spa facilities Are second to none. Multiple Pools including outdoor heated pool and adult pool with bar. Brilliant

10 / 10

Amazing! Staff friendly and efficient. Bedroom and bathroom super spacious and extremely comfortable. Dinner in Rib Room Steakhouse 1st night excellent and Pemberton Carvery 2nd night very good. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. Spa facilities wonderful. We will definitely return

10 / 10

All aspects were excellent, will definitely go back in the future

Hotel and rooms were good, but lack of staff in the Carvery restaurant. Waited ages to get drinks at the bar and find a server. None- carvery options ( as included in our package) we’re very poor.

10 / 10

Hotel excellent staff excellent brilliant spa the meal at night although plenty of it very tasteless. Breakfast nice

Rooms was very comfy and welcoming. Evening meal and breakfast in the Pemberton's Carvery was excellent with a great of food and beverages.

10 / 10

We played 36 holes at Ramside 6 years ago and our group were fairly happy with our play and stay. Ramside is now a full resort experience in our view, outstanding golf on both courses, evening meal (carvery) exceptional and breakfast was spot on. Rooms good, Spa great - easy to review.

Fantastic place to go to has everything tremendous weekend trip.

Had a great stay at ramside. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There was a misunderstanding about us using a buggy but when we explained our situation the lady on the golf reception who then went to the management and got permission for us to use one. This made weekend. Thank you Sam philpot for doing the booking for us at short notice GRAHAM and JAN Hodgett

8 / 10

Lovely hotel. Rooms spacious and comfortable. Dinner included but no explanation of what was available at the carvery and staff not helpful or knowledgeable

10 / 10

Wonderful room. Because we were on a ‘deal’ our meal was from the Carvery. I’m afraid it was not particularly good. All the meats were dried out and not appetising. If we had realised we would have paid extra for a better meal in a better setting.

10 / 10

Room was large, beds soft plenty pillows,lovely fittings.Food was great and inside hotel was lovely.

8 / 10

Very omfortable quiet rooms, but could not get Wifi in our room. Carvery generous. Breakfast buffet good. Staff friendly and helpful but some inexperienced.

10 / 10

absolutely excellent from start to finish,room an facilities were absolutely 5star

8 / 10

Very nice Hotel & location, would recommend booking Rib Room & or Pan Asian Fusion Restaurants when booking trip as we tried to book on the day and there were very limited times. My wife used the Swimming Pool in the Spa & said it was excellent.

8 / 10

The first course Prince Bishop was ropey the green's and the fairways were in bad condition ,the cathedral course was exceptional only down side was the over booking, we waited more than half an hour to tee off,it seemed that there were 5 groups with all the same tee times. The hotel was very good the food also.

10 / 10

Never been here before was great golf course and hotel spot on

10 / 10

Great hotel, the upgraded rooms are also well worth the extra money! Food was great (carvery) and just what we needed before the short taxi journey to Durham for a good night out!!

8 / 10

On the first night we went for the carvery and the food was dreadful, The meat was dried up, vegetables were cold and overcooked, roast potatoes dried up and cold. We upgraded to the steak restaurant the next night and the food totally different. Excellent!

8 / 10

The Carvery unfortunately lets this venue down. So poor we only ate there once. Steak House looked good but appears to get fully booked with limited capacity but we managed to get a table at the Fusion restaurant which I can recommend.

10 / 10

Fantastic rooms,fantastic hotel.Has everything you need there,all facilities top quality and staff very good

10 / 10

Lovely time had by all carvery nice spa lovely great weekend

Excellent rooms and service

10 / 10

We had a fantastic time in a wonderful hotel in beautiful surroundings.

10 / 10

The accommodation is first class at Ramside as are all the social areas with adequate consideration for covid related worries. Only word of caution is watch what clientel you let in the Hotel groups of lads on the lash lead to disturbances for guests beware.

8 / 10

The room was lovely - the only complaint would be - lumpy pillows. We were very well looked after

4 / 10

Very disappointed in the hotel. Considering Covid, didn't see much of wiping down tables after use. Cutlery at breakfast was dirty and plates were not cleared away between courses. Some staff not very helpful. Will not be staying there again.

8 / 10

Great hotel. Great staff. Could be noisy until late with parties. Bars poor, restaurants good.

10 / 10

Lovely looking hotel and facilities. 2 min off Ai so easy access. Golf was good but unfortunately we had rain all day on sat. Was ok sunday. We thought cathedral was in bette4 condition then prince bishop quite a few holes with drainiage grooves across fsirway. Probably more intetesting holes on prince bishop. For what we paid as a package early can not fsilt it . But i wouldnt pay the prices if booked individually 7.5 to 8 out of 😅

4 / 10

Despite asking to be not given the crappiest room in the hotel ad we had booked through an agency. Guess what we got the crappiest room in the hotel. The room was one linked to another an was one usually used as a single. The dividing door was as soundproofed as a sheet of newspaper so would heard all the conversations mostly loud from the adjoining room. The sheets didn't fit the bed so rolled up in the night causing great discomfort. The beds were not even made properly and also dirty wine glasses were left unwashed. Also I asked the maid to make sure she topped up the tea and coffee. She didn't. The fusion resuarant food was abysmal. Do not eat there. The buffet and rottisery is a laugh in all the years I have stayed at this hotel the rotisserie has never been working.

8 / 10

Fantastic stay food was excellent service was excellent only thing is rooms could have some kind of air conditioning and a small fridge to be able to keep drink cool in hot weather!

My stay under the current Covid 19 restrictions was as good as it possibly could be under the circumstances. Well done to Ramside Hall for organising the restrictions to make our stay almost like normal.

10 / 10

A party of eight golfers enjoyed an overnight stay and game of golf at this fantastic resort. The staff were helpful and polite, the facilities top notch and the food excellent. In particular the spa with swimming pool, sauna and steam room were first class. A great place to stop over for a night if you are travelling as it's just off the A1(M) or if you are looking for a relaxing break.

8 / 10

The room was excellent. It was spacious with a comfortable bed and clean bathroom. We had the carvery for our evening meal which unfortunately was very disappointing. The meat was dry and over cooked as were the vegetables. The waiting staff collected plates from the table while others in the party were still eating.

8 / 10

Great golf hotel.

10 / 10

Very relaxed experience. Great facilities and large rooms, especially the grand bathrooms. Great experience for a golfing group.

10 / 10

A luxurious hotel and an ideal venue for our society’s golf break. Excellent service all round.

10 / 10

As a party of 8 all of us thought the hotel was great and really worked well for us?

10 / 10

We were a party of eleven on a Sunday driver golf trip,the hotel is conveniently situated and the facilities are excellent,the menu choice for our evening meal was a carvery which was very enjoyable,and drinks were not overpriced apart from branded bottled lagers.

8 / 10

Rooms very good, ground floor with patio door, very clean and tidy. At check in we were not provided with information regarding the hotel complex, in particular it wasn’t explained that you couldn’t sign for drinks etc to your your room. This came to light during the evening at the bar and in the restaurant when we had to pay cash. Apparently we should have been asked for a credit card, at reception, which would enable us to bill items to our room. This could not be done retrospectively. The evening food, in the carvery, was at best average, I guess it had been open for Sunday lunch and wasn’t at it’s freshest in the evening. Breakfast was a very good buffet. Staff were friendly and attentive.

10 / 10

Excellent golf & spa resort. Hotel good quality plenty of facilities, friendly staff, reasonable food. Two great golf courses, top spa facilities.

10 / 10

Lovely rooms, friendly staff and I would love to return. Could do with a bit more information in the room to indicate times for breakfast (and where it is) but only had to ask. Tried to call reception from room but no instructions somehow ended up speaking to someone trying to ring the hotel not sure how it happened but was a funny story for the next day! Ran out of time to use the spa but looked fantastic and cavers food was lovely and breakfast too

10 / 10

absolutely stunning place couldnt fault hotel bar and golf courses

10 / 10

First class golfing weekend again.

Second time at Ramside had a brilliant stay rooms and staff brilliant

10 / 10

A fabulous venue, we had a party of 23 people and everyone thoroughly enjoyed there stay, here is nothing negative to say, we will definitely return.

10 / 10

Hotel was great our room was excellent the food for breakfast and dinner was excellent. The spa area was great

10 / 10

8 / 10

Room was spacious and very comfortable. Hotel facilities were excellent and well maintained. Meals in the carvery had plenty of choice and changed over the two nights we stayed. Could upgrade to the Rib Room Steakhouse which seemed fairly expensive. The hotel well we’ll situated just 5 minutes off the A1 and easy to find. Also handy for Durham which was only 10 minutes drive away. Overall an excellent venue for a short golf break.

8 / 10

This was an annual golf outing consisting of 18 members travelling from North of Glasgow and I must say that travel, directions etc were easy, with Ramside Hall very simple to find with or without SATNAV.

Ramside Hall Hotel boasts 2 golf courses; The Prince Bishop and The Cathederal and both courses were in good condition, especially considering they had been shut due to floods. Well done to the green keepers! I would argue buggies are a must on The Cathederal based purely on the distance between some of the tees. It is walkable but it still took 5 hours with a buggy so recommendedfor sure. The course layout was well structured and more than suitable for all abilities.

The Clubhouse / 19th hole was clean, tidy and all the staff were well mannered and polite, happy to chew the fat and have a banter which is always a plus. Prices were as expecteed and the 10% discount was applied in the Golf Club but not the main hotel, a minor failing that could be addressed!

Our package with 2 nights DBB and 3 rounds of golf offered unbeatable value and with 1 person free with 16 players, that meant even more prize money and further good value. The majority of the group have been attending annual outings since 2010, having stayed at Celtic Manor, The Belfry, Slayley Hall, Carden Park and one venue abroad and this was definitely in the top tier with an overall score of 9 / 10 and most members stating they would like to return in the future.

Several of the events listed above have been booked via Your Golf Travel and I cannot commend them enough. Great service, great deal, friendly, on hand for last minute changes…in fact so good I have today booked for next year!
