Staff are friendly . Parking is extra at 10 pound for 24 hours in an underground secure carpark. The buy a gift experience was easy to exchange for our hotel and then add to for any extra money.

A very comfortable stay

We were given a room in the annexe next to The Malthouse, as we'd noticed they have a lot of live music. The room was perfect - comfortable and warm enough with a nice ensuite bathroom. Plenty of choice at breakfast in the main hotel, and the staff were always friendly and helpful. Ironbridge is a pretty town with river walks and plenty to explore. Many thanks for a relaxing break!

Fantastic afternoon tea

I can’t thank the staff at Rudding Park enough. From pulling in to the carpark on arrival to leaving and everyone in between. We had a lovely relaxed champagne afternoon tea and our waitress was very attentive and she explained the lovely food to us especially as I have allergies. We will certainly be returning and recommending Rudding Park Harrogate
