Cozy, authentic hotel!
Loved the hotel, staff and service was excellent! We ate dinner in the restaurant, it was very tasty. Breakfast was excellent, staff was very service-oriented. We loved our stay!

Average
We stayed in one of the cottage’s in the grounds of the hotel, It’s alright for younger guests to but we are all in our late seventies and eighties and wasn’t very comfortable, the dishwasher was full of dirty dishes when we arrived, and the garden overgrown with weeds, there was a garden table and chairs which one of our party an 86 year old man sat on and it broke under him, it was rotten, luckily he wasn’t hurt badly, just shook up. The hotel and hotel gardens are lovely, pity the same standard wasn’t in the cottage.

Rufflets is aging badly…
The Good: Beautiful and peaceful location, though somewhat isolated — which makes you feel obliged to dine on-site. Fortunately, the restaurant is excellent, offering truly upscale, fine dining. The Less Good: The hotel building and gardens have seen better days. Since the last renovation (around 2015?), signs of wear and age are noticeable. Bathrooms are dated, and the room decor feels tired. As is often the case in the UK, bed sizes can be puzzling — with full or small double beds offered for couples.

A perfect stay
We had a wonderful experience at Rufflets. It is a beautiful hotel with excellent accommodation, first class dining, delightful staff and a beautiful garden to enjoy. The location is perfect just outside the town .

Kingfisher lodge
Beautiful setting and lodge, in a nice private spot. Unfortunately the room was not very clean and our dinner which was nicely brought to the lodge had hair in it. Check in process was also a bit awkward and unclear.
