The Rufus House

Situated on the edge of Lyndhurst village, the capital of the New Forest, this grand Victorian house was built in 1876 as a country residence with acres of exceptional woodland as our front garden. Retaining many of its original features, Rufus House is the perfect location to enjoy a relaxing break in peaceful surroundings overlooking views of the forest.

At Rufus House we have a variety of rooms ranging from single, large family / twin and spacious doubles. We have two rooms located on the ground floor. For that very special occasion we have our delightful four-poster Turret suites. These large spacious rooms include their own Lounge with views across open forest.

Comfort and exceptional service is paramount to us and our guest rooms are maintained to an exceptionally high standard recognised as such by our recent accredited. AA 5 Diamond award for achieving the highest levels of quality accommodation.

We encourage our Guests to Relax & Unwind after that busy day sightseeing or travelling in our turret guest lounge with woodland views or enjoy the afternoon sun on the terrace overlooking the peaceful gardens and koi pond.
