We stayed in one of the turret rooms and it was excellent. Very welcoming and attentive hosts. Lovely location - very short walk into Lyndhurst - forest walks from the door. The Italian restaurant a few doors along is worth visiting. The deserts looked very impressive.

Rufus House is a lovely building with Lyndhurst a short walk away. Good Italian restaurant nearby. The room was comfortable and clean with views of the new forest and ponies over the road. Ernesto and Etsuko were friendly and helpful. Excellent breakfast. I will happily stay there again and recommend it to others.

The B&B is a lovely building 5 minutes walk from Lyndhurst High Street with two car parks. We received a lovely warm welcome from the hosts who offered to swap the pre-allocated second floor room on sight of my elderly mother, as they were concerned that she would have to climb two flights of stairs. The rooms were really lovely... More

We visited Lyndhurst on Friday 26th April for a Wedding and needed to stay for just the Friday night. The room was excellent. It was spotless and roomy with a good comfortable bed and we had facilities for coffee and tea. The location is very close to the shops and restaurants with a very nic Italian restaurant almost next door.... More

My wife and I had a very good stay, the hotel is very clean well furnished with character and breakfast excellent although we did not realise that non meal option on booking.com mean't breakfast not included. We had a great indian at the Curry Leaf which is a short walk away but don't over order as the portions are generous

The Hotel is very clean and well furnished and offers a wonderful choice of breakfast which was cooked fresh to order. Our hosts were always available and ready to help if needed. We... More

My partner and I have visited The New Forest several times, and absolutely love it there! We have stayed at Rufus once before about a year ago, and found it to be very nice. The room we had previously was a smaller one, and found it very pleasant and clean. This time round we went for a deluxe double room,... More

We had a walking holiday in the area and spent three nights here. The four-poster suite was immaculate (recently decorated), comfortable and warm, which was a real bonus after a day's walking in a freezing wind. The A35 is a busy road but the traffic noise wasn't a problem. Our hosts couldn't have been more friendly and attentive and nothing... More
