Rufford Arms Hotel

Came with Husband, Daughter, Son-in-law and two Grandsons to celebrate Fathers Day. Staff are polite and welcoming. Food was brilliant. Would definitely recommend and will visit again soon.

We stayed at the Rufford Arms as it was near to where a friend was getting married. Whilst enjoying a drink at the bar, we noticed how nice the dinners looked that were leaving the kitchen. The staff did their best to find us a table but they were fully booked. Not wanting to miss out on the food, we decided to sit outside. It was well worth it! The food was delicious!

I haven't enjoyed a 3 course meal that good in a long time! The staff are a credit to the hotel. They were all friendly and the service they provided was top notch! The bed was so comfortable and the room met all our basic requirements. It is a 3-star hotel so we didn't expect luxury. Breakfast was nice and even though according to my email check out was 10am, we were able to check out at 11. 10am was too early after a day of drinking and dancing! If we ever have another wedding to attend in the area we would be more than happy to stay here again.

Good food, excellent staff, good atmosphere in a pleasant location.

The food is always so well presented and tastes great. The restaurant is modern and minimilist, clean and spacious. The staff are an example of how servics should be and they all make the visit a pleasure. The special service and setting makes this a great place to eat.

Nothing special. Tired towels and bedding. Bland food but good bar service. Stayed for one night to enable a meet-up with relatives.

A delightful little inn and restaurant surrounded by beautiful countryside. Came here with a small coach party for lunch. The bar and restaurant are clean, bright and spacious with stylish modern decor and there are tables outside. Accessible downstairs toilets. The barman and waiters were very courteous and we were well looked after. And we could not fault the meal!

Six choices for each course, with vegetarian options. I had garlic button mushrooms topped with Lancashire blue cheese, followed by salmon with asparagus spears and beetroot potato rosti. The food was top quality, fresh and beautifully presented, with generous servings, and there was a side dish of lightly cooked mixed vegetables to accompany the main course.

My dessert of homemade waffles with strawberries, ice-cream and Belgian chocolate sauce was delicious! Good wine too, and not too expensive. A very relaxed and enjoyable meal. Would recommend this place as a lunch venue.

Super friendly service and very helpful! Food well presented and really good quality! Definitely recommend.

Staff are all friendly and attentive. Food in the restraunt was outstanding. Rooms clean, tidy and modern, as is the restraunt. Fantastic stay, looking forward to next visit all ready.

Nice place for ladies who lunch. Staff were friendly and very smart. The place had a modern bright and airy interior and a relaxing ambiance. With quite a pricey menu I probably wouldn't recommend it to families with small children or anyone on a budget and it doesn't seem to attract those clientele. If you are looking for a bit more than pub food and want to be comfortable and warm it is worth calling here.

I would recommend smart casual and give yourself plenty of time to dine. The overall feel was peaceful and calm but still busy when I dined one Friday lunchtime. Best to book in advance.

Advisable to book at weekends. Very popular restaurant in lovely surroundings. Clean and well presented. Very good menu choice, appealing to vegetarians and children also. Staff are very pleasant and helpful. Rooms available within the hotel. Parking available on the hotel car park.
