Rockliffe Hall – Five-star luxury hotel, spa and golf resort in County Durham

Rockliffe Hall is a five-star hotel, spa and golf retreat set within a 375-acre estate on the County Durham and North Yorkshire border, nestled between the villages of Hurworth and Croft on Tees. It’s currently undergoing a multimillion-pound refurbishment while remaining open to guests, and is home to one of the largest spas in the country alongside an 18-hole championship golf course.

The draw: the sheer scale of the resort experience, from relaxed all-day brunch at Café TERRA to elevated British classics at The Clubhouse, plus spa experiences like Spa by Twilight and a full day indulgent spa package.

Vibe check: a proper destination resort for a special stay rather than a quick visit, worth checking ahead given the ongoing refurbishment works before booking.
