The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Amazing Spa Experience

I loved spending time in the spa, especially the fantastic facilities including the outdoor Jacuzzi and the indoor thermal rooms. The spa staff were incredibly friendly and made the whole experience enjoyable. I also appreciated the availability of free fruit and drinks throughout the day. This aspect really enhanced my overall relaxation during the stay.

Delicious Dinner and Breakfast

Dinner in the Orangery was wonderful, with a beautiful setting and a good tasting menu. Each course was beautifully presented and delicious. Breakfast the next morning was equally impressive, with a variety of offerings including a hearty full English breakfast. It was a great start to the day, setting a perfect tone for relaxation again in the spa.

Luxurious Junior Suite

Our New Hall Junior Suite was stunning, filled with natural light and featuring a super king-sized bed that was incredibly comfortable. The room also boasted a large smart TV, and the mini bar was well-stocked. The beautiful view over the grounds added to the luxurious feel of our stay.

Well-Equipped Gym

The gym at Rockliffe Hall is fantastic! It felt more like a fitness suite than a typical hotel gym, but it had everything I needed for a good workout. After exercising, I thoroughly enjoyed heading back to the spa to relax and unwind, making the whole experience well-rounded.

Overall, I had a lovely time at the hotel and enjoyed the spa facilities, which were relaxing and well-designed. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but I did experience some inconsistency with the dining options that left me slightly disappointed. The staff were mostly friendly and efficient, though some service aspects could be improved. Despite a couple of downsides, I would consider returning for another spa experience.
