Review of Ramside Estates

Ramside is a beautiful hotel with an excellent spa...

Ramside is a beautiful hotel with an excellent spa. The room wasn't clean compared to other 4 star hotels, which is a shame. However, the grounds are well kept. Staff are welcoming, polite and the experience was overall satisfactory.

Would I stay here again? Unlikely - The cleanliness of the room has put me off staying here again.

Would I use the spa facilities again? Yes

Pros
~~~~

Spa
The best in Durham. I loved every minute being there. The relaxation pool was superb.

Bed (Premier room)
Huge. Two single beds put together with a giant duvet. Mattress was comfortable.

En-suite
Nice deep bath and double shower. Well designed and modern.

Cons
~~~~

Noise
Walls are thin. Woken up at 6am to somone in the room next door aggressively going to the toilet. Not very pleasant.

Dust
The room was dusty, especially around tables. Put my phone on charge and noticed the plug sockets covered in dust. Bathroom walls also had dust between the tiling and on the tiles themselves.

Pillows
Not comfortable. You'd think a 4 star hotel would invest in some decent Pillows. Woke up with a sore neck.
