Plan Your Stay With Our Floor Layouts

Posted on by

Most properties do not provide floor layouts to help you plan ahead and visualise the space you will be staying in, leaving you to book their accommodation based on a few photographs and the number of beds available.

Here at The East Wing, Rufford Park Lodge, we have gone the extra mile to create a full ground and first floor plan of the accommodation so that you don’t waste any of your precious vacation time figuring it all out on arrival.

Instead, you can pre-order a grocery delivery and decide who is sleeping in which bedroom ahead of time. All you need to do on arrival is put the Prosecco in the fridge and decide whether to relax around the log burner and watch a movie, or treat yourself to a soak in the hot tub!
