We had a lovely couple of nights stay at Rufus House, the room was spotless and lovely and warm! It was really quick to walk into the town where there are lots of restaurants etc and the breakfast in the morning was really good. All round, a very enjoyable stay :) More

I enjoyed a very pleasant night here. The house is very well maintained, and my room was spotlessly clean and warm. Good location just a few minutes walk from Lyndhurst high street, restos and pubs. Ernesto and Etsuko were extremely welcoming and friendly. Would definitely stay here again. Oh, yes, and the breakfast was freshly cooked to order and delicious! More

A big well kept Victorian/Georgian House with interesting turret on the main road into Lyndhurst but quiet spacious rooms. The owner (Japanese) met us on arrival and was tremendously friendly and welcoming and helpful. The interior is bright and warm. The rooms were beautifully laid out with latest mod cons - very quiet and modern quality furniture and beds. Please... More

We stayed here for a two night break in the New Forest. Room was large, roomy and clean and so was the bedding and bathroom. Found the Hosts to be very friendly and had a good chat with them. The location is excellent too. The town was two minutes walk away and ponies were walking wild on the common on... More

We stayed two nights just before New Year 2011/12. The house was warm and comfortable throughout, great breakfast and very kind and hospitable hosts. Safe care parking and an easy walk to the town centre which has loads of restaurants. More

My partner and I stayed at this B & B as it was close to Southampton Airport. We stayed in the ground floor turret room which was very spacious, clean and comfortable. The owners were very pleasant and helpful. Good breakfast with a good choice of cooked and continental food. Would definitely stay again. Great location for walking. More

I chose Rufus House based on the review of other site users, which gave exceptional feedback! After my first meeting with Ernesto and Etsuko I felt right at home, they were very professional and accommodating. Through the course of my job I spent just over 2 months at the Rufus House. Over the long period nothing was a problem for... More

We have just returned from Lyndhurst where my two sisters wanted to spend their birthdays as they are one day apart. The rooms were excellent and the owners went out of their way to give us everything we could possibly want - including a birthday present for my sister whose birthday it was that day - that certainly is going...
