We had a great stay,Rufford Lodge was clean, comfortable,warm and well appointed and had everything we needed. We were a party of ten( three families) there to celebrate a seventyth birthday. It was super to be all together, there were plenty of games in the...More
Well, just read the review below and you will get the general gist as to what this place is all about! We were greeted to the house with a welcoming reception of flies in one of the bedrooms, and I mean a swarm of flies,...More
Our accommodation is popular with groups and families and due to the size of the property there is an ongoing program of maintenance and repairs. We make every effort to ensure the facilities are in good working order for each booking but it is unrealistic...More
Dirty - food mess on pots and pans, so we had to wash items before use. Nasty food smears in fridge; dust everywhere, balls of fluff around the place. Grass up to the kids' knees (youngest was five, eldest 10). Hedges and trees left untrimmed,...More
We have had a lot of challenges this year and we apologise but have had to prioritise some major expenditure on areas that are fundamental rather than cosmetic, including replacing the boiler and excavating part of the courtyard to fix an underground leak. The extremes...More
Well. How can I begin. Arrived at lodge early evening to find a run down shabby building with paint peeling off the windows and a courtyard garden that looked like a rear of a run down pub. Not at all as described. It was dirty(found...More
We make every effort to be available to our guests during their stay to answer any questions they may have and to deal with any issues that might crop up. We were contacted on the Saturday morning with a text message advising that the lights...More
On approach, the kids were excited to be staying in a castle! Nice semi-secluded location. Decent rooms and overall good sized property. A big list of rules but didn't prove too difficult for us (might want to consider if it would be a challenge for...More
Thank you for your kind comments. We ask guests to keep noise to a minimum after 10 pm in the courtyard area simply out of respect to the neighbours, and the hot tub hours are also for safety reasons. The living room and dining room...More
As a group of three families celebrating a 50th Birthday it was ideal and we had an amazing time. It’s a lovely spacious cottage and a great location but the place itself is ready for some investment. The soft furnishings all need replacing as they’ve...More
Thank you for your review and observations. We are pleased that you found the property to be a great base, spacious and ideal for a large party. As with most (if not all) older character properties we have an ongoing program of maintenance and improvements....More
The house is in a fantastic setting of beautiful countryside and very accessible to amenities. The house was the perfect solution to needing a place where family and bridesmaids could meet and flowers prepared for a wedding. The outdoor jacuzzi was a great fun element...More
We booked Rufford Park Lodge Mon-Fri for a family group of seven (6 adults & a child) in October half term. We were looking for somewhere special to hole up & spend some quality time together & it did not disappoint! There is plenty of...More
Glad the wedding went well and we would love to welcome you back in the future!
We recently had a lovely family weekend at Rufford Park Lodge. The lodge is comfortably furnished for 10 with plenty of lounging space and a sunny dining area. The kitchen was well equipped for all our needs. Hot tub was a major attraction for the...More
Pleased you enjoyed your stay! Rufford Park and Country Estate are well worth a visit, along with the lake and water splash.
This accommodation was a great choice for a group of ladies visiting a nearby spa and having a weekend of relaxation. It had everything you needed and was very spacious. The garden area was an added bonus as the weather was so beautiful and therefore...More
