Rufflets is an absolute gem of a hotel! It has the charming feel of a countryside inn, with all the amenities you would expect from a luxury hotel. The warm and welcoming staff went above and beyond all expectations. The room was spacious, nicely appointed, with a modern bathroom. The hotel features a lovely restaurant featuring fine cuisine, cozy sitting spaces near fireplaces, a bar that is a great place to unwind, and lovely gardens.In short, Rufflets is a superb hotel I highly recommend!

When I arrived at 8pm there was no one at front desk, also the front desk was a table. I had to get the restaurant/bar staff to check me in after hitting the bell twice over 5-10mins. The hotel feels family run and has charm, however the service received was not great, It seems like they were short-staffed. Great breakfast to choose from and the room was comfortable.
