Find Hotels in Rufford

The hotel is not really in Chorley, being located to the south west and some distance, from Chorley. It is situated on a motorway service area which is only accessible from the northbound M6. Exit is onto the northbound M6 too. This means that you have a rather long trek along the motorway if you are intending to access local amenities - or CHORLEY. It's fine as a stopover if you are actually travelling north on the M6. The hotel required more information at check-in the most do these days and they insist on you registering a debit/credit card at reception for a room deposit. No money is taken unless you damage something but they have carte blanche to take money and argue with you later should they so choose. Very few (none in my recent experience) hotels take such measures these days. In the era of fraud and identity theft it is never ideal to hand over information of any kind. The room was very comfortable and well appointed but the shower was very slippery. There were notices in the bathroom but some effort to make the bathroom less hazardous would be more useful. Overall there are better alternatives locally that do not require card details and are much easier to get to by car, and indeed public transport or cycle. Go elsewhere for the same standard of accomodation without the hassle.

We spent New Years Eve and have to say, it was a brilliant way to bring in 2024. Our rooms were lovely. They were clean, and beautifully presented. When we arrived at the Blazers Suite for our Carvery Dinner, the staff had prepared a table really close by, as I had mentioned when booking that a member of my party was a bit unsteady on her feet. The receptionist said there would be somebody ready to help her to carry her hot meal, and there was a lovely member of staff at the back of the queue, who was more than happy to assist with choosing and carrying the plate to the table. The food was delicious. I particularly enjoyed the salmon and prawn starter, wrapped in the lightest pastry. The DJ was good, and the dance floor was packed all night. At midnight there was a rousing chorus of Auld Lang Syne. Only one little quibble, to knock a star off. I checked breakfast and check out times with the receptionist when we checked in. I had previously rang to check this information and was told breakfast 8-10am and check out 10.30am. I thought it worth another ask, as in previous hotels these were later, but the times were confirmed as above. I was surprised, therefore, to overhear the same receptionist mentioning a late check out to another guest as we were checking out. I queried this, and she confirmed both breakfast and check out were later, it being New Years Day. She said she had not been told about the change early enough, and apologised. After such an enjoyable evening, and a lovely breakfast, I was not in the mood to complain. However, the added half hour for breakfast and checkout would have meant we could spend a bit more time with my family, who had travelled from the Wirral to celebrate with us.

Rooms were lovely and clean. I would like to thank the management team for going over and above in both regards to checking in and letting me know of a problem in the car park. There was plenty of choice in tea, coffee etc and enough milk . Lovely village setting, excellent for a wedding at Meols Hall.

Fabulous couple my Freind was really poorly in the morning they were so helpful in helping me get him down the stairs and helping him into the car I can not thank them enough Stayed a few times here and the room was great with a terrace onto the garden so ideal for us with my 2 grandchildren and to have a coffee in the morning outside Will always pick this hotel on vacation to Southport Thank you again to the owners for all your help and support today Plus very grateful for changing my room to the garden room as well 100% given for this hotel and the owners 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Just back from a lovely night away at this hotel in Southport. Staff here were so lovely and the whole experience was excellent. We stayed in room 112 which was at the side of the building,the room was beautifully decorated.the bed and pillows were very comfortable and we slept really well. The bathroom had a walk in shower and worked with a touch of one finger as did the mirror above the sink!! We arrived earlier than check in time but Andrew at the desk very kindly offered to keep our suitcase behind the desk so we could go off and walk around the town.when we got back he also carried the case up to our room for us. On leaving our room for check out the following day we met the lovely Jill and another housekeeper who asked how our stay was a chatted a while to us. When we got to the check out desk we were greeted with a lovely happy lady called Claudia who also chatted to us. We didn’t eat here but next time we go we will as we will definitely be returning for another stay!! Thank you to all for an enjoyable stay
