Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Ramside Hall is often praised for its spacious rooms, some overlooking the golf course, and many appreciate the robes and slippers for spa visits. Guests frequently enjoy the extensive breakfast options and the spa facilities, including a large swimming pool and various saunas. While the Rib Room Restaurant, with its cheese souffle, often receives high marks, some guests have noted that they would like a fridge in their room. The on-site golf course, complete with a driving range using Toptracer, also proves a popular amenity.

Wonderful Getaway Experience

friendly staffcomfortable bedamazing restaurantspacious roomfull parking
I found the staff very friendly. They restocked water at my request. I walked around the golf course. It provided a tranquil experience. The rib restaurant was amazing. I particularly enjoyed the cheese souffle. The room was spacious and overlooked the golf course. The bed was comfortable.
I noticed the two disabled parking bays were often full! This made access difficult despite reassurances about a room close to the function areas.

breakfast was great I found the restaurant staff polite and friendly the reception staff was cute I especially enjoyed the attentiveness the staff showed I had a very positive experience. The golf course offered a good challenge and the on-site swimming pool provided a great way to unwind after a day of activities. The driving range featured a toptracer system adding a modern touch to the practice sessions.
the limited time for hotel guests in the pool was disappointing the restricted area kept overnight guests from experiencing the outside pool even when it was not crowded this reminded me of a missed opportunity

The hotel provided clean rooms with comfy beds (I slept so well!). The location was great. There was plenty of car parking. The room was a generous size. The surrounding park was lovely.
I stayed for a wedding and booked a beautiful double room, but I found that they only offered 2 disabled parking bays close to the main reception. My room was also the furthest distance away from the function and dining rooms. The toilet did not flush well. The shower cubicle leaked too.
