We contacted the hotel before we arrived & they arranged for our 4 hotel rooms to be available at 1230, so that the 7 players could change & unpack before we teed off at 2pm. The hotel is a genuine 5 star facility, & they staff are simply brilliant. Nothing is too much trouble, & this quality service is reflected in the prices.This was our second golf break, & we will certainly go again.

This is a beautiful hotel with friendly staff our room was large and comfortable with an outlook towards the first tee We arrived on Sunday in time to play golf in the afternoon We were unable to make a reservation for dinner as the clubhouse restaurant was fully booked with a large party which apparently overloaded the facility to such an extent the Spikes Bar was unable to do food However we did eat in the clubhouse on Monday evening the meal was delicious and highly recommended just make sure to make a reservation in advance of your visit Make time to use the pool and Spa facilities as both are an excellent way to relax after golf

Although I have rated everything 5 star feel I was mislead by YGT . I booked for 4 ladies for one night and 2 rounds. The impression was that we would be staying in the hotel . When I had paid my deposit and received my confirmation I then found out that we were staying in Tiplady Lodge and not the hotel and also discovered that breakfast was served in the golf club and not the hotel . Having stayed in the hotel before and eaten breakfast in the Orangery I was slightly disappointed that we were in the lodge and breakfast in the golf club . I did take this up with YGT who then said I could stay in the hotel for another £30 which I declined . However when we checked in I mentioned this to the receptionist who very kindly changed our breakfast to the Orangery . The Tiplady lodges were very nice but not upto the same standard as the hotel rooms .Think YGT should make it clear where you are staying and where you are eating breakfast before you book and pay your deposit . We ate dinner in the golf club which was very nice and also had a bite to eat in there before our first round . All of the staff hotel and golf are very friendly helpful and professional .

Suberb hotel and facilities. We booked through ygt who made it easy for us. We stayed in the tip lady lodge that is a beautiful annex building the rooms are fantastic. The package with your golf travel included bed breakfast and evening meal with 2 rounds of golf. All meals are taken in the clubhouse not the hotel. The clubhouse is really good. Thanks Tom and ygt great value for money.

My Golf Travel and Rockliffe have been fantastic, as my stay had to be moved many times for various reasons. They moved my booking, with no hassle, or question. We had a beautiful room with terrace overlooking the gardens snd golf course. We ate dinner and breakfast in the Orangery conservatory. The golf was amazing on a beautiful course. We also enjoyed the fabulous spa. All in all a wonderful experience.

I’ve been lucky enough to stay at many of the top golf resorts and Rockliffe Hall is right up there with the best of them. The hotel is quite simply magnificent in every respect. If you’re looking for a place to stay where everything is superbly managed and where luxury is the priority then this is the place to book. You know it’s going to be good when the first thing you see upon arrival is someone sweeping the car park clear of about a dozen stray leaves!!!

Excellent value, golf course was in very good condition and all the staff friendly and helpful. Woodland Mews house was spacious (4 bedrooms). We were a party of eight and we will return in 2022, I thoroughly recommend Rockcliffe Hall and YourGolfTravel, booking was easy and organisation excellent and trouble free.

Excellent hotel with super accommodation in the Tiplady lodge. Room had its own sitting area, fridge and outside seating area. We are in both the clubhouse and Orangery restaurants which were of high quality. Clubhouse is definitely the right option for golfers. The spa area is great and you needed to book as numbers were restricted. One of best hotels we have stayed at in U.K.

Excellent suite in the old Hall and parking right in front of the door except one night when we were told the parking was being reserved for VIP's (what were we?). The suite was excellent great view but the whole visit was spoiled by not having the Orangery Restaurant open instead we had to travel in the rain down to the clubhouse which is not 5 star experience. The room service was also not operating when the restaurant was closed except for breakfast which could only be picked from the standard breakfast menu also not a 5 star experience. Sadly I am afraid overall a disappointment.

New Government Covid-19 regulations were announced 2 days before our visit, which caused some confusion for one receptionist, but with help from YGT's Harry Clarke,we were changed from one twin-bed room to 2 superb double bedrooms, at no additional cost! Once we arrived, the hotel staff were exceptional, & we could not wish for better service or facilities.

Everything about the hotel was excellent, except the ridiculous prices for food and drinks. £32 a bottle for wine and £35 for a fish dish which was delicious but £10 over our allowance for one course. £4.50 for a flat white coffee. We won’t be returning. We like value for money.
