A £16M hotel redevelopment has moved a step closer to completion.

Ramside Hall Hotel, near Durham City, now has a new wing with 47 bedrooms.

A new golf course opened last year and a new spa will open this summer.

Hotel owner John Adamson said: “The new wing is the latest stage of the multi-million pound investment at Ramside Hall.

“The accommodation is of the highest standard and is all part of our plan to make Ramside Hall a destination in its own right.”

Rooms in the new wing start at £139 per night.
