Rockliffe Hall, County Durham
Rockliffe Hall opened in November 2009 on the County Durham and North Yorkshire border, minutes from the historic city of Durham. A privately-owned and magificently restored 18th century estate on the banks of the River Tees, now a 61 room hotel with a drop-dead glamorous spa. Don't miss the Orangery restaurant, headed up by Kenny Atkinson, one of the winners of this year's Great British Menu.
