Decent hotel up north?

[USER1999]

I am looking for a hotel to stay in for a week in October, prior to the Goswick trip. It needs to be 4/5 star, with a decent spa, pool etc, and ideally on the coast, so I can walk along the beach (in the rain). The idea being Mrs Mog and I can stay there during the week, and I can pop up to Goswick for the Friday morning and pick her up on the way back on saturday.
She wanted to go to Cornwall, but I have vetoed that as goswick is a heck of a drive from there.
Not really got a location in mind, but am thinking north yorkshire and further north.

Any ideas?

I have stayed here

Was absolutely wonderful, the food was superb and I know good food, everything was perfect when I stayed except the weather which was howling.

Murph are you staying over in Goswick on the Friday night or planning to drive back to the hotel? If your not driving back to the hotel on the Friday night then have a look at Scarborough for a hotel (would be a bit too far if you were commuting). Plenty of beaches with cold North East wind for you to walk along, and will be enough shops etc to keep the Mrs amused while your golfing in Goswick for 2 days.

Hi, I was planning on spending Friday night in Berwick, so I can study the opposition (this worked well last time, I had 9 points on the front 9 in the morning, with a wicked hangover). Scarborough could be good, was looking at The Crown Spa, but it may be a bit big.

I stayed at rockcliffe hall for my birthday a couple of weeks ago. It was a suprise from my girlfriend and we got the room cheaper cos my mates a chef there.
I can't recommend it enough!

I'll chuck in another Hall.....Doxford Hall.

A half hours drive from Goswick and 2 mins from the beach with plenty going on around it if your into the fresh air side of life.
