Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at Rufflets! The rooms had everything needed except for a fridge, and the powerful shower was a delight. While some walls showed signs of wear and the bathroom floor tiles were cracked, the spacious room with a bath and separate shower was very nice. I would definitely visit Rufflets again and recommend it to family and friends.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were meticulously prepared with attention to detail upon arrival and departure, offering a view of a quaint flat roof covered with AstroTurf in one of the cottages. The peaceful ambiance and the short stroll through the charming English garden to the main house made my stay really pleasant and quiet.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and charming, clean, and comfortable, although having a fridge would have been handy. The staff were incredibly helpful, and the gardens were great with a wonderful breakfast selection. A few minor cons but overall a lovely experience.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were well-equipped with a bath and separate shower cubicle, although it was a bit hot inside. However, there were no vegetarian options available. The service was mixed, with some staff being helpful and attentive, while others seemed unaware of special occasions. The location was stunning, set in beautiful surroundings but could use a modern update. The dining experience was enjoyable, with delicious meals, though it would have been nice for the service to extend past 9:30 pm. Overall, a good value for the money.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were stunning with large picture windows overlooking the formal garden and a stream with a bridge leading to the woods - truly magical. The separate sitting area was perfect for relaxing, and the terrace was a lovely bonus. The spacious bathroom with both a bath and shower made it ideal for families. The service was top-notch, making me feel so well taken care of, and the location, while peaceful, was just a short drive away from all the excitement of St Andrews. The dining options were fantastic, except for the slightly early closing time on Saturdays. All in all, a wonderful experience!
