Top Durham Hotel Reviews

Ramside Hall Hotel, Golf and Spa

Ramside Hall Hotel, Golf and Spa

8/10 Good
"The staff were excellent and very friendly. The rooms etc were very well maintained. The main lift was out of service meaning a long walk to an alternative, but this only mattered when carrying luggage. Breakfast was a standard buffet, little limited with its selection but more than adequate. My only major complaint was the room didn’t have any air conditioning or air circulation. It was incredibly hot and the windows only opened a few inches. They brought us fans but they simply couldn’t cool the room. I asked to be moved to a cooler room but they could only offer it for 2 nights out of our remaining 3. Which wasn’t worth the hassle of packing and unpacking."
