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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

What a JOKE of a round this was. I was playing in the first group, we got to the 5th tee box and the stakes were facing to the 7th hole. We rang the clubhouse to ask why and they said they must have been put in wrong, so we tee off down the 5th which is a long par 5, as we got close to the green we couldn't see the flag. Thinking somebody had left it on the floor i walked to the green to see there was no flag at all and then we looked at the 6th hole to see the same so we assumed the holes were closed even tho they were in 10x better condition than what were played on the other course. We played the 7th hole and when we got to the 12th hole we saw no flag again and the same on the 13th and 14th. We rang the club house again to then to be told that the holes were closed. We carried on to then get to the 17th an 18th to them to be closed aswel. The staff in the club house did not even apologise for not even telling us the holes were closed. We paid near £3000 to play the venue and there is no way the course should have been open as it was.

The course was very wet, so our balls did not run far on landing, & often plugged, which made it difficult to find in the 3 inch long rough. It was difficult to play out of some wet bunkers, but otherwise the course was fair, & the greens were good, but not especially fast. No buggies were available after 1st October, but these would have damaged the course! The Sunday round took 5 hours & 15 minutes, but the Monday round took 3hours & 30 minutes!

Not what we expected we played slaley last year that is far superior. I found the greens quite small and not in particularly good condition no one seemed to be maintaining the course over 2 days the one thing which I have never seen before was 2 holes on each green one with the flag in and one which they hadn't bothered to fill in so if they couldn't be bothered to do that

I would say that the course was a difficult walk pulling a pull trolley due to wetness of the course. Very very muddy not in great condition. Greens ok for time of year. Spoilt the day as difficult to walk due to mud and water. Be warned very very hilly and in wet muddy conditions very difficult walk again I would say probably should have been closed.

Course was very very very wet and muddy if I am honest should have been closed. We had booked a buggy but could not use it as the course was so wet and muddy. Great layout. Would like to play it when it is playable. Difficult to walk due to conditions , tried to book an electric trolley as we could not use a buggy that we had booked.

We played this course in March following a wet weather spell and the course was wet underfoot but playable. The green had been cored / spiked and were slow and not rolling smoothly, but this was expected at this time of year following a spell of bad weather. I would expect the green to be much better in the summer months. There are a few long walks between green to tee as the course is on two sides of a road linked by an "underpass". There are a few steep hills, so I would recommend buggies if your fitness could be better.
