Top 10 Sunny Terrace Hotels

Our third stay in 12 months. We enjoy the location of this hotel, so handy for bars and restaurants; no taxis required! The breakfast is also amazing, loads of choice, food is hot and fresh, tables always clean and staff are well organised and friendly. The beds are really comfortable, and shower has always been good, and rooms/linen always clean. We like the ice bucket provided and machine in the hall, the complimentary water and having robes and slippers in the room. Two small points that weren't great were as follows. We've never yet had a working fridge in our room. Not sure whether this is a service no longer offered for some reason, if there's a way to switch it on/request it to be on or if we're just unlucky and always get one that doesn't work! Not a major problem, just would be nice to have, or take it away so we don't think it should be working. The other point is just the general decor, as in marked/damaged paintwork, tired fittings, and in this bathroom, damp affecting the grout and shower cubicle fittings plus a big crack in the sink. More wear and tear than cleanliness, and hopefully general freshen up/ refurb is on the cards soon. Still a great hotel in a great location, we'll be back!

Second visit to this great hotel in an historic building. Reception staff are consistently excellent, friendly and helpful (apologies I am not sure of the girl who helped us out during our stay, but she was super professional). Restaurant staff are also super - front of house, and all the team superb. The rooms are spacious and very clean. The bar is fab and a great space to relax. Only one minor suggestion is to give the coffee bar staff some professional barista training - it’s a plus point for the hotel to have a good coffee bar.

Not bad, a little far from the train station, but close to the river, there are many bars. But the hotel is a bit old. There is a good English breakfast shop and ice cream shop nearby. Prosperity, democracy, civilization, and harmony are the value goals at the national level; freedom, equality, justice, and the rule of law are the value orientations at the social level; patriotism, dedication, integrity, and friendliness are the value criteria at the individual citizen level; Basic content of core values

We booked this vey late with the help of the Director Keith for a New Years Eve night away. We rang the day before to try and book the Gala dinner and we were called back on the day of arrival to say there was availability for it which we booked. On arrival at the hotel we were greeted at the desk by two very polite and approachable ladies who checked us in with speed and ease. We asked a few questions about the Gala dinner and they were answered. We got to our room which was a newly refurbished hideaway room in the annex building ( just a 10 second walk to the main building). Entering the room it was bright and looked very appealing. On the bed there was two sets of bundles with dressing gowns and slippers. There was a super king size bed with lots of inviting pillows and cushions with a nice thick quilt. Decor was to a high standard and fittings and fixtures suited the decor of the room. The bathroom was new with a very large walk in shower with raindrop and hand held heads. Very comfortable. Great fluffy towels added to the bathroom. We relaxed watching the large screen t.v while we were getting ready for the night. Arriving at the gala dinner we were shown to our table for the night which had a glass of bubbly and a tray of assorted chocolates for our consumption. We were joined by 6 other guests. The place was full but everyone had plenty of room to move about. There’s a huge crystal chandelier which hangs over the dance floor which is magnificent. We had a choice of meals which we had chosen prior to arrival for our six course night. We had a starter of - Chicken Terrine with sweet chutney and toast ( wife had soup) Then we had Haggis, neeps and tatties. Beef with mashed potatoes, turned vegetables and a wine gravy. We had a chocolate mint cheesecake for dessert. Coffee and tea. There was a live band and a DJ on for entertainment. Band was fantastic. Just before midnight we were presented with another glass of bubbly to see the new year in. We were invited outside at 00:05 for a fireworks display which was a great spectacle. Finished at 0100 but that was enough and a great evening was had with new friends and great food. Slept great and got up next morning for breakfast in the hotels restaurant Prego. Full hot Northumberland breakfast, fruit, cereals and juices were plentiful and what we had was great. The hotel has been refurbished to a high standard and would recommend this to anyone for accommodation and dining. There is also a spa with small pool, jacuzzi and sauna. Upstairs to it there is also a gym but we did not use on this stay unfortunately. I’ve given 5 stars as our stay was made special by the standard of the hotel and its staff which are a credit to it. Thank you Keith and staff for a magnificent stay and we will be back in future. David and Beverley Wyness.

We have had an absolutely amazing stay at Ramside to celebrate my 50th Birthday. We stayed in a treehouse which was utterly superb and took my breath away!! Beautiful interiors and furnishings along with wonderful outdoor area with your own hot tub and sauna...a truly wonderful experience. The service is second to none. The concierge was literally on tap to take you to and from the main hotel. Nothing was ever a problem. The main Spa pool had plenty of seating and limitless supply of towels, robes and flip flops to make you relaxed and comfortable. The Fusion Restaurant was fabulous too. 9 of us ate at the restaurant, the food was served piping hot in beautiful Asian inspired bowls and plates and looked utterly mouthwatering and tasted delicious, we couldn't fault it....The cocktails are gorgeous too I can highly recommend the strawberry breeze for any gin lovers out there! Wow!! A huge thank you, to the wonderful dedicated staff at Ramside, for making our weekend just perfect and one to remember...We will be back!!

The hotel is very good, will stay again
