Please note that rooms contain either a bath, a shower or both. If guests have any preference to the bathroom arrangement, this information can be added during the booking phase in the 'Special Request' box. Although the property does their best to accommodate guests' wishes, this request is still subject to availability. All rooms are on either the first or second floor, with access from the reception. Please contact the property if you have any mobility requests. There is no cycle storage available. Please note that irrespective of future government changes to VAT rates and your arrival date, the gross price of your booking will not change. A deposit may be required at the property.
What we’d check for you here
- That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
- The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about The Ruddings
What time is check-in and check-out at The Ruddings?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does The Ruddings allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at The Ruddings?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does The Ruddings have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does The Ruddings have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book The Ruddings?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
