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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

Because of the consistent heavy rainfall before our visit it is difficult to make proper judgement of this course. However, the grounds staff were doing their best to clear the greens of water and keep the course open.

This course was another with quite a few dog legs and water hazards but was an easy walk and as with the Cathedral course was in excellent condition,it was easier test than the Cathedral course but it was more strategic and made you think about every shot,I would certainly recommend Ramside Hall for a golf trip as everything was first class.

The course was a challenge for even single figure handicap golfers with a lot of blind second shots and dog leg holes with water hazards which were not easy to see on some holes,the course was in superb condition with greens that were not too fast and the fairways were some of the best I’ve played from,would highly recommend this place but would advise to get a buggy as it is long and quite hilly.

Possibly the easier of the two courses being a little less treelined. More exposed to the elements. Some nice par 3s, great views of surrounding areas. Signage between holes could be better, bit confusing at times.

This is the newer course of the two but still in good condition in October. Some long travel between green and next tee on some holes. Good challenge for all levels of golfer as there were 4 or 5 tees to choose from depending on your handicap.
