2 night stay over xmas, starting boxing day. The good:
Good parking. Friendly reception.
Nice, spacious room. Good choice of food:
V. Good sirloin steak, in the steak house (2 steak meals, 3 drinks 90+). Nice xmas meal. Nice boxing day meal. The not-so-good:
Every course was slow to arrive, had to ask to be served. Cold starter with Xmas meal, sent back.
Dogs in bar, and barking in hall.
Confusing staff who asked if we were on "the list" before serving our mulled wine, who then proceeded to serve anyone who asked. Tap loose in ensuite bathroom.
V. Limited Covid measures, at times

Lovely Spa. Fusion food delicious. Hotel a bit jaded and felt due to Covid it could have been cleaner. Premier room was good but could have been cleaned to a higher standard. Breakfast was disappointing.

Far too many people in one place. Felt as if Ramside put profit over welbing. Asked if we could move but no avail. Space was taken for coffee station which could have been put in the foyer! There will be no surprise if a massive outbreak occurs. 40 minutes to get served at the bar also went to the xmas do in Golf club for Michael Buble and the difference from there was so different and felt as if they observed covid rules!

Ramside hall is an amazing venue. The spa is so relaxing, the bars and restaurants are fantastic and the scenery and grounds are spectacular. Would recommend this to anyone who enjoys spa getaways.
