Planning Approved

Key upgrades include enhancements to upper-floor guest rooms, a proposed new staircase, and opening sections between the cocktail bar, drawing room, and terrace, ensuring a seamless flow for guests. Landscape improvements will also enhance the Old Hall’s north façade frontage. The proposals will not alter the external appearance of the Old Hall.

The Old Hall project will also include the transformation of The Orangery and its kitchen to become the main resort restaurant and further elevate Rockliffe Hall’s culinary offerings overseen by Close’s expertise.

Earlier in January, Rockliffe Hall had its first planning application approved for a purpose-built pavilion that will house a flagship restaurant of award-winning quality to be led by the resort’s Culinary Director James Close, former chef-patron of the two-Michelin-star Raby Hunt.

These two planning applications are part of a renovation project, focused on becoming a world-class, gastronomy-focused destination, and cementing Rockliffe Hall's reputation as the leading resort in the region with international appeal.

The Old Hall is now closed and renovations will begin soon. During this period, the New Hall accommodation, golf course, The Clubhouse, spa, and TERRA restaurant will all remain operational. TERRA will be open for dinner and will host a series of seasonal pop ups, beginning with The French Bistro by Head Chef, Adam Molloy under the guidance of Culinary Director, James Close. It will also be open for breakfast and lunch with newly developed menus.
