    Everything was perfect from the welcome and cup of tea 🍵 on arrival, the breakfast in the mornings. Couldn't ask for anything better.

    A lovely spotless hotel and only a short walk to everything. Your hosts cannot do enough for you to make sure your stay is as pleasurable as possible with lots of personal touches.

The Rufford Hotel has always been recognised as a high quality guest house priding itself on its homely feel and relaxed atmosphere. New for 2023 is our Lego inspired bar area to compliment our other themed areas in the hotel. If you enjoy Star wars then our hotel is a 'must visit' We have one of the most authentic Chewbacca outfits in the country as well as other authentic and sanctioned outfits. We pride ourselves on quality accommodation. Our refurbished rooms are to a high standard with thoughtful touches .Now many of our rooms offer king size beds and larger televisions. If you have any mobility issues we can arrange the hire you a mobility scooter, stored and charged up overnight ready for your next day You will look forward to coming back.
We look forward to you coming back, each year we have different Star Wars and Harry potter displays. For 2023 we have even more Lego for children of ALL ages to play with. Our goal is to make your get away fun and relaxing. We can recommend some great places to eat, having to force ourselves to try out all of the venues is a chore we will suffer for our guests :)
Situated on a quiet residential street ,we are within easy walking distance to the town centre, amusements and the beach. A convenience store is within easy walking distance and there are plenty of restaurants within 10 minutes walk.
