About Rudding Park

Rudding Park occupies a Grade II listed Regency mansion set in 300 acres of landscaped parkland and woodland at Follifoot, on the southern edge of Harrogate. The estate combines the original house with more contemporary wings, giving the hotel a mix of period bedrooms and modern rooms and suites, several with private terraces or garden views.

Food is a serious draw here: the hotel holds a Michelin star at its Horto restaurant, built around produce grown in the estate's own kitchen garden, alongside more relaxed dining options and a bar. A rooftop spa, an 18-hole championship golf course plus a shorter six-hole course, and extensive grounds give the estate a resort feel rarely found this close to a town centre.

Harrogate's shops, Bettys and the Turkish Baths are a short drive away, making Rudding Park a comfortable base for combining a country estate stay with easy access into town, and its scale and facilities also make it a popular choice for weddings and events.

We have visited Rudding park five times in the last six years and we keep coming back. It’s a luxurious treat for us, but worth every single penny. The service from staff is exceptional. Nothing is too much trouble, everything works seamlessly and changes or requests are handled with no issues whatsoever. It was our anniversary and many members of staff wished us a happy anniversary and little thoughtful touches were added to make the occasion even more memorable. The food and cocktails were delicious. We love clocktower for its ambiance and decor, and have previously dined at Horto and loved it there too. The rooftop spa is the best spa I have visited. A seamless combination of spa experiences and spaces to relax in perfectly kept gardens. We have left more relaxed than I’ve felt in a long time, and will definitely be returning again.

Had such a lovely stay at Rudding Park. The whole place feels really peaceful and well looked after, with beautiful surroundings and a proper luxury feel without being too formal. My room was comfortable, spotless and had everything I needed, and the service throughout the stay was warm, helpful and attentive. I also really liked how relaxing the overall atmosphere was — perfect if you want a little switch-off break. Would happily come back and definitely recommend for a relaxing stay.

Absolutely amazing stay at Rudding Park Hotel & Spa! From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, professional, and attentive. The rooms were beautifully presented, spotless, and incredibly comfortable. The spa experience was next level — relaxing, luxurious, and worth every minute, especially the rooftop spa and thermal areas. The food was exceptional too, with fantastic attention to detail and great atmosphere throughout the hotel. Every member of staff went above and beyond to make our stay special. A perfect place for a relaxing getaway — we’ll definitely be returning. Highly recommend!
