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 .

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 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.

Playing this course in March is probably the wrong time of year to form a fully objective impression The first thing I would say is based on conditions over our 3 round stay is this course is over hyped and was not the wow course expected In cold conditions even off yellow tees it plays very long most greens are surrounded by an array of bunkers which are difficult to play out of with any degree of ball control Greens were quick for the time of year and difficult to read Fairways were suffering from huge areas of wormcasts resulting in poor grass conditions on most fairways From the tee the course is wide open and inviting Overall you need a very long game at this time of year to score well

Firstly, don’t be put off by the course having the rather daunting acclaim of being the longest in Europe as that is totally dependent on which tees you decide to use. If you are the type of player that crunches a driver 350 yards then maybe the gold tees are right for your round but for most of us mere mortals the yellow tees are the ones to use. There are plenty of interesting holes and there’s also a fair amount of water. The greens are well maintained and run true, and it’s worth mentioning that the course isn’t overly tight. The clubhouse itself is a short walk down the hill from the hotel and is superbly managed (much like many of the top American venues). The breakfast we had there was superb with one of our party stating it was the best he’d ever had. The pro shop lads are friendly & efficient. All in all a fabulous experience and we will be returning in the very near future.

Fabulous course with excellent bunkering and interesting holes around water hazards. Course was very quite midweek and we got round in 4 hours. Greens were being treated and were very sandy but ran true. It’s a long walk so some players may need to use a buggy. Fairways reasonable wide so will be playable for all handicaps. The whole package was excellent value for money.

After a prolonged period of wet weather, the course was quite wet, & no buggies were available. However, the electric trollies had gps distance equipment, & the superb greens were unnaffected by the rain, & were very difficult to read. The course is long, with frequent water hazards, & the golf ball did not run far when it landed. However, it was really enjoyable once you accepted you needed an extra shot on par 4 & 5 holes, & we will certainly vist again next year!
