I cannot recommend this place enough, it is spotlessly clean. Served by excellent staff and the food is delicious, presented well and reasonably priced. The general ambiance was relaxed and although I’m not keen on tv screens, they weren’t over bearing. I would definitely revisit as they allowed our pooches in. If their bedrooms are as clean and as good as their food is - it would be a great place to stay!

We were lucky to arrive before the coaches did so more or less had the place to ourselves. Very good value for money. A single cheese melt in the high street would set you back £12, without a coffee. We went for the tea for two at the wool mill for £18. There was enough to feed 4 and the same with the coffee we chose. The staff are all kind and down to Earth. They provided us with a box that we could take the excess cakes we couldn't eat. It was the Christmas tea for two which included the turkey, stuffing and cranberry sandwiches. Too much cranberry for me so made the sandwiches a bit too much like jam sandwiches for me. This aside, I would recommend and will return. Was all good and well worth the money. Home made mince pies and scones were very good.

Went for a birthday dinner and my meal was awful. The rest of the meals were fine. However the prawn cocktail I do not recommend. The person next to me ordered this and it looked lovely. So I decided to order this with a side portion of fries. What I recieved was a disgrace!. It looked nothing like the one the person at the other table had. They had a large quantity of prawn cocktail in a beautiful red large bowl presented well. Mines was a very poor portion in a tiny soup bowl! Lucky if I had 4 leafs of lettuce with what looked like scrambled egg, as the prawns were so small. I will not be going back as I have emailed them twice in regards to this and not had Any reply. I did complain at the time also.

I’m not surprised that Rufflets is in the bottom half of local restaurant rankings. We’ve had 2 disappointing experiences recently. We’ve got a long connection with the hotel: as a family we have celebrated significant events and always had great times. Something has changed. Reluctantly posting here as they’ve twice ignored my emailed feedback in the hope they now read (and take action?) – and also to warn others given their apparent lack of interest. We brought my wife’s parents for afternoon tea in June. The experience was lacklustre – this started when we arrived and we stood in the doorway of the restaurant. No-one came to welcome us. The restaurant was not busy and had all the atmosphere of a wake. The service was slow and when food did arrive was not very special. Afternoon tea should feel a bit decadent: this felt serviceable and the scones were absolutely terrible. In August we came for a birthday dinner for my sister, who has Downs syndrome. Before eating, we sat outside the restaurant. Staff made little effort to interact or make us feel welcome. I had to go to the restaurant to order drinks. They knew beforehand that it was her 50th birthday (and she was wearing a birthday badge …) and opened presents in the lounge. Staff didn’t make any effort to acknowledge the event, or engage in any way. Service from all staff was perfunctory, verging on cold. Smiles certainly weren’t on their menu. At the end of the meal, when I asked for the bill, there was awkward silence as I paid. No comment, or question (“Did you enjoy the meal?”, “Hope you had a good evening”, “Thanks for coming”). Go elsewhere – there are many better places.
