Darlington

Rockliffe Hall promises quintessential English charm combined with elegant surroundings. Dating back to the 1800s, the once private estate is steeped in history – with all the indulgent extras of a five-star country retreat.

The luxurious Spa takes you through experiences which enhance circulation and boost the immune system, leaving you feeling healthier and revitalised. The treatment menu combines holistic rituals with results driven treatments for the perfect balance of science and nature.

Foodies flock to the flagship 4AA Rosette Orangery; whilst the Brasserie and Clubhouse restaurants offer relaxed, all-day-dining. Delicious afternoon teas are served daily, and wine lovers can enjoy tailored tastings in the underground cellar. Our estate-to-plate ethos means much of what you’ll enjoy in our restaurants has been grown in our kitchen gardens or foraged from the estate.

Golfers can tee-off on the 18-hole Championship golf course, which has hosted a number of international tournaments whilst little (and big) kids can play in Mischmasch, the resorts newly opened wonderland of curiosities. Perhaps you’d like to try your hand at tennis, fishing, cycling or croquet on the lawn? At Rockliffe Hall you can be as active as you please; there are 365 acres at your fingertips to explore!

Our friendly team look forward to welcoming you to enjoy popular British classics with a focus on quality, wholesome food. Dishes are homely and comforting, with a touch of ‘Rockliffe flair’.

Afternoon Tea

The 18th century Orangery offers a traditional afternoon tea experience with stunning views of the immaculate grounds and stunning countryside around. There are no set rules for afternoon tea apart from delicate sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and a selection of sweet things with a selection of tea options to accompany. For a little more decadence, include a glass of Champagne.

The Cocktail Bar

Whether you’d like to enjoy pre-dinner cocktails, a glass of wine in our relaxing bar or a post-meal digestif, our expert mixologists and sommeliers offer a mix of outstanding drinks served in luxurious surroundings.

While tea and coffee are available in the Cocktail Bar from 11am to 5pm, the cocktails are the main attraction in this area of the hotel. Classic cocktails are classic for a reason, but the mixologist team work closely with Rockliffe’s chefs to create unique infusions and garnishes which put a Rockliffe twist into the mix.
The comprehensive cocktail menu is sure to satisfy even the most discerning and sophisticated of tastes and in the rare instance that nothing tickles your fancy, let the mixologist know what flavours you like and let them surprise you!
