Hotel's Favourite
We had an exceptional stay at rudding park. The room was perfect and nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. They went above and beyond. The food was excellent. We tried both restaurants. The tasting menu at horto was fabulous. We also had a spa treatment which was excellent. We have decided to make a trip annually as it was so good and we don’t think we will find better for what we want need anywhere else in the uk. Can’t wait to go back.

Just been on a one night stay to celebrate our wedding anniversary it was great the staff are so attentive and friendly the food in the clock tower restaurant was excellent I would highly recommend it .The room and bed was very comfortable with the grounds tasteful decorated it was a lovely pre Christmas break It’s very handy for Harrogate so we did a bit of Christmas shopping in the market we got to hotel for 3 pm check in and once settled we enjoyed a swim in the pool. We have had quite a lot of snow so did not get a chance to go walking around the grounds but I sure if we go back in the summer they will be very good.

It’s been a while since I’ve been to Rudding so was looking forward to coming for an evening’s food and drink - I wasn’t disappointed, it was great! We had a selection of canapés and the drinks were flowing. The service was truly exceptional with special mention going to ‘Morgan’ and ‘Harrison’ who looked after us from the moment we got there. Would defintely recommend

We booked through the hotels website for an advertised Autumn Escape, unfortunately our initial experience booking was not very good as it appeared the reservations staff were not familiar with what was advertised in connection with the Roof Top Spa Access, and having booked to use this on day of arrival we were subsequently told that, contrary to what the web site showed, we could only use this on the day of departure. It appeared that this restriction was included if you were making a general booking but it did not show on the Autumn Escape deal booking pages. This change resulted in some inconvenience in having to change personal arrangements as it was a midweek booking and work commitments had to be re-arranged. On check out staff were apologetic for the misunderstandings and kindly removed the service charge from our bill. We booked a room in the Follifoot Wing which was spacious and nicely furnished with a large ensuite bathroom with a freestanding bath and large shower. The room was clean and comfortable. The Autumn Escape included lunch and a cocktail in the Clocktower Restaurant, lunch was very nice but the cocktail was a little uninspiring. We opted to take dinner in the Horto Restaurant, again food and service was very good. We now had our Roof Top Spa access on our day of departure, it was extremely busy and as the weather was wet most people stayed inside which resulted in all the beds being taken up and nowhere to really sit and relax. We made use of most of the facilities, steam room, sauna, swimming pool, outdoor jacuzzi, there was also an oxygen room which we sat in but could not detect any effect and another room that had bright lights which we did not make use of but seemed to be quite popular. Overall, leaving aside the booking issues, we found Rudding Park to be a nice comfortable place to stay. …

From the moment the car pulled up at the hotel until the moment we drove away every part of our stay was made very special. The staff are all exceptionally efficient but in the most friendly way possible. The suite was to die for. as was the wonderful meals. A visit to the spa is a must, with so many zones to enjoy.

We have just returned from a 2 night stay (originally booked before Covid for a special birthday/anniversary) so it was extremely exciting to eventually make it after.a long wait. From first arriving the level of attention to detail was second to none and every person we had contact with within the hotel were extremely friendly and efficient. Special mention must go to Freya who on our first night in the restaurant really made our evening special and enjoyable by being extremely knowledgeable and being confident in everything from the menu, the wine list and cocktails and by being very friendly and approachable. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and wherever we went within the hotel we were met with smiles and pleasantries. We used the roof top spa on our second evening and that really was an unforgettable experience, to be outside sipping fizz under the stars in a heated pool was truly magical. The only downside we encountered was the attitude of a member of staff on the front desk in the pool/spa area.. they definitely didn't follow the attitude of the rest of the hotel staff and did put a slight dampener on our first experience of the pool area on our first night (we were slightly relieved they weren't present on our second night visit) …

Dear 368elainee Thank you for staying with us at Rudding Park and for taking the time to write your lovely review. The whole team are delighted that your Rudding experience was so enjoyable for your special birthday/anniversary celebration and were finally able to visit us. We do strive to provide our guests with the highest standard and quality of service from the moment of arrival and are pleased that you experienced this during your stay. We were saddened however, to hear of the attitude of one member of staff in our spa, for which I can only apologise. We understand that this is entirely unacceptable and are equally as disappointed that the high standards upon which we pride ourselves were not met on this occasion. At Rudding Park, guest service is incredibly important to us and making our guests feel welcome and attended to is fundamental. As such we were shocked to read that you had been made to feel otherwise but gladdened that this did not mar what was otherwise an enjoyable stay. It also goes without saying that Freya was so touched that you felt she deserved a particular mention. Of course we would never tire of receiving feedback like yours, neither do we expect it, however it is such a constant source of motivation, so a huge thank you for leaving your review.

I stay at Rudding Park 2 or 3 times a year to visit family in Yorkshire and it still is one of the best hotel experiences I enjoy in the U.K.; the staff are friendly, courteous, polite, efficient and are so well trained. The Follifoot Rooms I stay in are very comfortable, the food at breakfast and dinner is excellent and always served with a smile and promptly. The spa facilities are outstanding, the grounds beautifully maintained and, overall, you will not find many better hotels in this country. I love staying here on each visit, as I am made to feel so welcome!

Fabulous one night pre birthday stay with a lovely spacious room amazing spa and great evening meal with plenty of choice and high quality ingredients. However the special ingredient that sets this hotel apart from its competition is the staff. In many years of travel I have rarely experienced such friendly efficient staff and not just a few but all of them.. a very well done to you all! It was a pre birthday night away and the hotel helped me in celebrating with a card and some fudge Prosecco and happy birthday truffles.. thank you so much. I def hope to return soon!!
