Rockliffe Hall

I stayed at Rockliffe Hall yesterday after reaching a point where I truly needed to disconnect from the world and recharge, and wow, this visit was exactly what I needed. I’ve stayed here before, but this time felt completely different, all thanks to Anna. From the moment I arrived, she greeted me with such warmth and genuine care. She went above and beyond to accommodate my needs and made sure everything was perfect throughout my stay. Her kindness and attention to detail were exceptional. Every member of the Rockliffe team is fantastic (as you’d expect from a 5-star hotel), but Anna really stole the show for me. She’s a real asset to the hotel and someone who truly embodies what five-star hospitality should feel like. Thank you, Rockliffe Hall, and thank you, Anna, for reminding me how important it is to slow down and take time for myself. I left feeling rested, grounded, and incredibly grateful.

We had a great stay for our 10 year wedding anniversary this weekend. The spa facilities are fantastic, the service from the staff is excellent, it was an all round memorable stay and we'll definitely be back

Just returned from a 1 night D,B&B including spa package for my mums 60th and wow, wow, wow! What a beautiful and exceptional hotel. As soon as we arrived we knew it was going to be a magical stay when the chauffeur parked my car for me and a concierge took an our bags for us! The food, amazing! Bar staff amazing, spa staff amazing, clubhouse staff, amazing! They all couldn’t have done more for us, always checking in and so so welcoming! The room was beautiful and spacious with a TV in the bathroom! All the additional and complimentary gifts we received. The spa was wonderful but I would advise adding on the spa garden experience for the outside heated pool as it’s not part of the spa! Half the hotel was shut for a refurb which I wasn’t aware when booking but that really made no difference to our stay! It just gives us a reason to return. The other bonus was you can access the spa for your whole stay not just a few hours like some hotels, we managed to get in at 11am on check in day and used in the morning also! That’s a real treat. We will 10000% return when it’s all back open - Thank you to all the staff who made our stay very special. Money well spent and a happy mother ❤️

I’ve been coming to stay at Rockliffe since it opened 15 years ago. This time was some very much needed R&R after a so far dreadful year. We booked (for the very first time) a Superior New Hall Twin room due to my recent surgery so we both got a good nights rest. We were so pleased we did. The double beds each were sumptuous ! Breakfast the next morning was served in the first floor Rockliffe Suite (as The Orangery is undergoing a refurbishment). It was delicious and the room was perfect for this. The serving staff couldn’t have been more helpful. All in all it was the perfect R&R stay. We’ll be back once the Old Hall rooms have been completed.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From the moment we arrived at Rockcliffe Hall Hotel and Spa, the service was nothing short of exceptional. The staff here truly go above and beyond in every way – you are made to feel like absolute royalty. A special mention must go to the incredible receptionist, Aly. She was an absolute star and made our stay unforgettable. While we enjoyed some time in the spa, she went out of her way to beautifully decorate our room for my partner’s birthday. To make the moment even more personal, she also surprised us with a gorgeous teddy bear and a handwritten note wishing us a safe arrival for our baby boy – a gesture that touched our hearts more than words can describe. It’s rare to find a hotel that combines luxury with such genuine warmth and thoughtfulness. Rockcliffe Hall doesn’t just provide a stay – it creates memories. We can’t recommend it highly enough this is our 4th time here will most definitely be returning.

Lovely hotel, our room was great and breakfast fantastic. Didn’t use the pool, fitness centre or spa so can’t comment but they looked nice. Did do a 7km walk run on one of the recommended routes around the hotel which was very scenic. We’ll definitely return when the build is finished and new restaurant is open.

We recently stayed at Rockliffe Hall Hotel and Spa to celebrate our daughter’s birthday, and the experience was truly exceptional from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. They were attentive, friendly, and went out of their way to make us feel special. The hotel itself is stunning — luxurious yet warm and inviting, despite the renovations to the Old Hall. Our room was on the ground floor in the New Hall and was extremely spacious, immaculately clean, and offered beautiful views of the grounds and the golf course. The little details really stood out: fluffy robes, high-end toiletries, and a turn-down service that made the whole experience feel indulgent. The spa facilities were top-notch - serene, well-maintained, and a perfect place for some quiet relaxation along with a few glasses of bubbly in the beautiful Garden Room. The staff at the spa were also excellent, ensuring everything ran smoothly and comfortably. We had a drink in the bar whilst watching the England Ladies Euro cup final on the huge TV screen outside. We then dined in the Club House Restaurant and were very impressed by both the quality of the food, the service and the staff - even surprising our daughter with a little birthday treat of handmade fudge. Breakfast was beautiful, a selection of buffet including pastries, cereals and continental as well as offering a menu of full English or other cooked to order dishes. All in all, Rockliffe Hall exceeded our expectations in every way. It’s the kind of place where luxury meets genuine hospitality, and we’re so glad we chose it for such a special occasion. We’ll definitely be returning - and recommending it to friends and family!

Sometimes treat myself to a short stay. Excellent breakfast. Evening meals a little pricey.

My wife & I had not previously visited Rockliffe, except for a coffee & a viewing. We were impressed. However, our expectations increased when we learned of the appointment of James Close as culinary director & his team from the Raby Hunt ( a favourite of ours). With this good news we made booking arrangements immediately for a few nights. Since our first stay under Jame's influence we have witnessed a steady improvement in all the food options across all meals in the available eating locations. On our most recent 3 night sojourn our culinary experiences were nothing short of outstanding. Our Saturday night in a busy Terra restaurant was the Burger & Champagne extravaganza. What a delight. I started with a Gibson Martini, my wife had a glass of the recommended champagne. Our Meal began with a trio of chilled starters, including lobster cocktail, salmon tartare Isle of Wight tomatoes puttanesca. Our main course Brooklyn Burgers, consisting of medium rare, dry aged Yorkshire beef, dill pickle, American cheese served in a brioche bun with with fries were superb, nicely complemented by a bottle of spatburgunder. For dessert we shared a fabulous blueberry cheesecake, so light & delicious, excellently crafted by Maria Close. On the Sunday ( which also happened to be fathers day) we enjoyed a late lunch in the Clubhouse. We with delicious shrimp cocktail & a wedge of pork pie along with the most superb piccalilly ever! ( sadly I was unable to buy a bottle to take away) For mains we had one plate of roast lamb served pink plus mint sauce and another of medium rare roast beef with nice hot horseradish. Both roasts were served with Yorkshire pud, roast pots & carrots, and mixed greens. Our fabulous lunch was washed down with a splendid bottle of Nuits St George. We left the Clubhouse after 2.5 hours fully sated & did not need to eat again until breakfast next day. In conclusion, the highlights of our most recent stay were all culinary. However, during our 3 days at the hotel we interacted with professional, yet friendly fom Housekeeping through to Sommelier. All of them too numerous to name were at the top of their game & made for a memorable visit. We can't wait to return for the El Camino latin feast. Barrie & Julie

We visited to try the pop up champagne & burger menu on Terra restaurant. We used to be regular guests at Rockcliffe but the last time we went, after lockdown, it was really poor. So we thought we’d try this deal. It was great. Started the evening with a delicious bottle of Cote de Province on the bar, sat outside watching the rabbits play. The pop up was absolutely delicious. We both had signature burger followed by cheesecake. All tasty and perfectly cooked. Burger was just a lovely balance of meat, sauces, pickle. Yum. It’s clearly popular and teas nice to see the restaurant busy. The service was impeccable throughout. Friendly, welcoming, explaining the options. Took the opportunity to explain the improvements being made. A great evening.
