Rufford Arms Hotel

A restaurant with rooms, so convenience for lunch when we arrived, and breakfast next day was delicious. Room comfortable and had all we needed.

The hotel was start to finish was simply perfect. From booking in to checking out, everything was great. The room was well laid out, clean, with beautiful décor and very dog friendly. The room was spacious and really ticked all our boxes. The food was fabulous. Breakfasts and evening meals were perfect in every way. Your tastebuds woke up with all the different tastes and flavours, the food was well presented and really cooked to perfection in every way. Staff were warm, attentive and very professional with impeccable courtesy and politeness. I think my only criticism would be that the hotel missed a lounge area, were you can relax and chill with a drink before eating. The hotel would really benefit from such area and would really add value to the overall experiences. The surrounding area is perfect for dog walking and the canal is so quiet and relaxing. Whatever you do these days, it can be pricy, but I thought the prices to stay and eat where really reasonable and not out of the way. You get what you pay for without a doubt! It’s certainly worth a stay and to eat here. So would we go again? Yes, without a doubt as its so comfortable to stay here and the food is so divine and so dog friendly!

Location was perfect for us visiting family nearby Room was clean and bright. Bed very comfortable. Liked mugs on refreshment tray Smart cheerful dining room room and well cooked breakfast Allowed to check-in early Staff friendly

Have stayed a few times and must say the food is spectacular as always and amongst the best anywhere we have stayed. Liver pate was fabulous and the rest just as good. the total cost including wine was very reasonable indeed. I can highly recommend having dinner there.

The room was comfy and clean, and I loved the decor. It was easy to find the hotel and there was plenty of parking on-site. We ate in the restaurant in the evening, which was excellent - the food was delicious, varied menu, good veggie and vegan options, and good service. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was also very good - cooked fresh to order, plenty of toast and coffee alongside. Overall, a really lovely stay. The location of the hotel, next to a Tudor National Trust hall and close to a wetlands nature reserve, gave us plenty to visit nearby.
