The place is beautiful, the rooms and surroundings are amazing, the staff in the main hotel were really helpful and friendly, and the breakfast was cooked to perfection. The service in the club house wasn't in line with the rest of the experience, we waited fifty minutes from sitting to receiving our first drinks, on what was a quiet evening in the restaurant, and the food wasn't great, however the majestics of the hotel was enough for us to look to come back another time, we would just eat elsewhere from the Clubhouse

My friends and I have just spent 2 wonderful days in Rockliffe Hall Our 2 bedroom apartment was immaculate offering lovely accommodation and was fully equipped with everything we needed throughout our stay. We made full use of the spa enjoying all the facilities from the pool 🏊♀️, the infa- red sauna 🧖♀️and the experience showers to name just a few. Breakfast in the Orangery both mornings just cried out"Eat me and Drink me"with a selection 👌to suit all needs . All staff from Hanah on reception to the breakfast team were customer focused ,helpfull and pleasant Special mention to Evie this morning who went above and beyond to allow all our party to have a scrumptious breakfast 😋 Your staff Jason are clearly passionate about their work and are great ambassadors for your brand 👏👏…

Bought my hubby as a birthday present one night with 2 rounds of golf. The course and pro shop staff are fantastic. The room we stayed in was amazing and we got an upgrade due to us staying for my hubbys 50th thanks to Tori. We even had a television in the bath which was amazing. The reception staff, conceirge and restaurant staff and bar staff service is amazing and they could not do enough for us. Ww would like to thank allum behind the bar and the breakfast staff. The food was also amazing. The spa facilities are out of this world, we particularly lloved the outdoor jacuzzi. We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend it. Probably the best golf hotel we have stayed in

Afternoon tea - excellent service in beautiful surroundings in the Orangery. 2 freshly made scones and delicate cakes. They even were able to change my sandwiches to vegetarian even though I had forgotten to mention at booking. Nothing appeared too much trouble. All the staff from arrival to departure throughout the hotel make sure they smile and greet guests.

Only one word needed … blissful! From the moment we stepped into the reception we were welcomed so warmly and the surroundings took our breath away. This is absolutely a 5 star hotel. The spa is amazing, the rooms are stunning and the grounds too … we did not want to leave and can not wait to return.

A wonderful hotel. The staff are amazing; kind, welcoming and it feels as if nothing is too much trouble. My husband has mobility problems and fell as we arrived; the receptionist immediately offered to change our room to a more accessible one and could not have been kinder. The move was seamless and effortless on our part. The attention to detail is wonderful and the food in the Orangery must deserve a Michelin star. It’s exquisite and the tasting menu is so well-balanced. This hotel is just wonderful in every way.

We have stayed at Rockcliffe several times and we prefer the new hall rooms.These rooms are spacious and very comfortable and one is assured of a comfortable undisturbed night’s sleep. All the staff are professional and courteous The breakfast is excellent.Cooked to order,not one of those horrible buffet breakfasts,and a nice choice of good quality food . We dined at the clubhouse and I had a delicious steak with my wife choosing the lamb.

Had the most wonderful spa day today (8th May)! We were there from 9 am to 3 pm and we only just managed to fit everything there was to offer in the spa area in our itinerary as there is just so much to try. I personally loved the foot spa and outdoor pool in the spa garden. The food in Nu Sana was wonderful - and we were left so full. The staff in the restaurant were so attentive. On our way home we chatted about our treatments and were surprised that we both were as impressed as the other. We agreed they were the best massages we had ever received so thank you so much to Erin and Ava. My skin also feels amazing from my facial so I had to buy a couple of the products on my way out.

Spa was perfect and welcoming and 5 star. Hotel reception area and service was excellent and made you feel comfortable and relaxed. Suite was out of this world. Clubhouse was more than what we had expected, service 5 star and meal was delightful, a lovely treat and delicious. Cocktails were gorgeous in the bar and service was excellent and very good quality. Breakfast, we were blow away with quality products and service. Couldn't do enough to ensure Perfection was delivered. Definitely staying again.

Wonderful Birthday breakfast for my Dad at the Clubhouse. 9 of us in total and the food was spot on. As is always the case, the staff were superb and looked after all of our various requirements…and deviations to the standard menu! Massive thanks to Helen who spotted it was someone’s Birthday and brought out a lovely chocolate dessert. It’s the little touches like that which make this my favourite place to go. Thank you!
