The Ramside Spa & Hotel, located just a stone’s throw from the A1(M) and A19 in the picturesque region of County Durham, is not merely a luxury four-star retreat; it is a beacon of wellness and grandeur. Having had the privilege of staying at Ramside prior to its recent transformation, I was eager to return and experience the newly developed spa facilities that promised an expansion not just in size, but in the scope of wellness and luxury.
As I approached the majestic entrance, the winding driveway revealed the splendid facade of the 127-room luxury hotel. Known for its opulence and comprehensive amenities including a renowned restaurant and championship golf course, the Ramside Hall presents a seamless blend of traditional charm and modern sophistication.

A Warm Welcome and A Green Toast
Upon arrival at the event, the atmosphere was buzzing with the energy of familiar faces from the North East Blogging Scene alongside some new ones. It’s always a delight to see familiar faces like Ruth from Pretty Little Gym Addict, Deb from My Boys Club, and Tasha from Hello Freckles. As I settled in, I was handed a champagne flute infused with Midori, echoing the spa’s brand colors in a tasteful nod to its aesthetic.
The Spa Tour: A Journey Through Wellness
The tour of the spa facilities began shortly after our welcome drinks. The Spa Manager shared insights into the unique aspects of the Ramside Spa, notably its distinction as the first in the country to be recognized as a recovery spa for cancer patients. This poignant revelation highlighted the spa’s dedication to inclusivity and wellness, providing a sanctuary for those recovering from cancer. All therapists at the spa are specially trained in cancer recovery treatments, emphasizing the spa’s commitment to compassionate and knowledgeable care.
The Ramside Spa is proud to be associated with ESPA, ensuring that every treatment is performed with high-quality products known for their purity and therapeutic qualities. The facilities boast an extensive range of services from massages—including hot stone therapy—to waxing and a chic nail and pedicure bar which doubles as a private party and hen do venue.
An Evening of Laughter and Relaxation
Our group’s interaction with the spa’s amenities was both humorous and enlightening. After indulging in some delightful culinary offerings, we donned our robes and flip-flops and headed to the locker rooms. A small adventure ensued with the locker systems which operate on a personal code input—note to self and others: always remember your locker number!
Our laughter continued as we explored the various jacuzzi pods within the pool area. Each pod featured different speed jets, and while the experience was incredibly relaxing, it also brought about its share of swimwear mishaps due to the powerful jets, adding a light-hearted element to our visit.
Conclusion: A Reluctant Farewell
As the evening drew to a close around half-past nine, the collective decision to head home was made somewhat reluctantly. The experience at Ramside Spa was not only a testament to its physical enhancements but also to its ethos of fostering well-being and joy. If not for the twenty-mile distance from my home, I would eagerly incorporate visits to Ramside Spa into my daily routine.
In conclusion, the newly redeveloped Ramside Spa & Hotel stands as a pinnacle of luxury and healing, merging thoughtful design with exceptional service. It offers a unique experience that caters to both physical wellness and mental rejuvenation, making it a must-visit for those seeking a sanctuary of relaxation and a touch of luxury in their lives.
