Ok this has to be said. It seems that most of the negative comments here must be from the back-sides of lovers of dull, identikit, corporate brand establishments with no soul. If thats your thing move on now, this place isn't for you.
This is a place full of character, soul and creativity. Its easy for me to say that everything your eyes, ears, tongue and nose touches has been designed and carefully created by Marco to compliment each other to maximise your experience.
Here’s the thing, if you book on a voucher type deal you will get evening meal, bed, breakfast designed by the maestro in stunning surroundings. If you want cheap tasteless drinks you’ll find them somewhere else. If you dont want to pay £4 for baked beans , dont flippin order them.
This place is easily in my top 3 or even top 1 hotels Ive ever stayed in.
The staff were brilliant, food and drink faultless, surroundings were awesome.
Id happily stay here every night if I could.

Marco if you are ever stuck for someone to bequeath your place to when you pop your clogs, I’ll happily send you my details.
Thank you everyone.

A truly awesome stay! No exaggeration!!

Just returned from two fantastic nights at the Rudloe arms . Staff really looked after us super friendly and couldn't have made us feel more welcome food was superb and the icing on the cake was on our way out of the building we met Mr White who spoke to us for a while super friendly guy and being a chef it was a pleasure to met the man who inspired myself as a young commis chef . Highly enjoyed our stay and we shall return in the future

Fantastic short trip

Visited for a two night stay. Dinner bed and breakfast on a Wowcher offer. Myself and my Mum stayed in a superior room which is situated near the main house. We had a ground floor room. The room was beautifully decorated.  The bed pillows and duvet were extremely comfy. Huge Tv and plenty tea coffee hot chocolate and bottled water to fill the kettle. The main house is beautiful too. Such quirky art work in all the lounges. The food was amazing. There is a supplement for some dishes and sides but bearing in mind we got a good deal £10 extra for a fillet steak is nothing in my mind.  There was a supplement for a full English of about £8 but again that’s cheap. We aren’t great drinkers so we didn’t order any alchol.  The only bill we ran up was £8 for triple cooked chips both nights.  The staff were all really friendly and we chatted to all of them   Please ignore the negative reviews.  We couldn’t fault it. If u want cheaper drink there are a couple pubs down the road. I can’t wait to return when the weather is better and we can explore the grounds properly. Really enjoyed it

Ignore the negative. Beautiful stay

We did not know exactly what to expect when visiting the Rudloe Arms. We visited for two days and stayed in the Treetop building. In short, it is a fantastic place. The staff were courteous, polite and professional. The rooms were both neat and stylish. The food was really great - (As I guess you might expect given the owner). The art and everything else inside lifts this Manor house to a level that can only be understood once experienced. (Nothing has been simply thrown in - It has all been very carefully thought out).

It is not just your standard hotel – (I have stayed in quite a few). I would highly recommend it to friends and family. We drove a couple of hundred miles to get there and the same back. However, it was well worth it and we will be back.


The Rudloe Arms - Wiltshire

My wife booked us a lovely room in the main house to celebrate my 60th birthday, to say it was special is an understatement.  Everything about our two night stay was fantastic, an excellent retreat from the daily routine.  The whole ambience that has been created was so relaxing as well as intriguing, wherever you are in the hotel is so relaxing.  The staff went out of their way to meet our every need and everyone was so friendly.

The whole visit exceeded our expectations, well done.

A Very Special Place

Well, what can I say, wow. Our daughter booked this for our 50th birthdays. Absolutely loved it. Being a massive fan of Mr White I was so excited and was not at all disappointed, I see chef himself as very quirky and he has made his home\hotel show his personality. And we loved it from the start, on entrance up the lovely log walled drive coming up towards the most beautiful building and winter wonderland of gardens, stunning. On entrance to the home\hotel itself you can feel the ambiance of it welcoming you in and to look around. Now some people may be offended by cheeky pictures on the walls and taxidermy around ect , you cannot let that put you off. 
There's so much more to this place than just that. It's interesting artwork mixed with the lighting atmosphere and the different themed rooms. Just amazing. 
Having read reviews myself before coming here I was very worried our daughter had saved and wasted her money. Believe me she hadn't. 
The reception room was warm and welcoming, the young lady at first didn't seem so much so until we started to chat with her, she then had a beautiful smile for us, she was young and her confidence will build with age and time. We all need that chance. A wonderful young man came along to help her with showing people where to go to their rooms. Bless him he was fantastic showing us  around ( didn't want to tell him we already had looked ) he was loving telling us about the place. We could have talked to him for hours he was very knowledgeable and didn't mind the questions we had about the place. (Promotion there please Chef White.) Then we bumped into a young lady very pleasant again, we mentioned the reviews we can't believe half of them really. 
True what she said. 
Marmite!!!!!!!!!!   Love or hate 
Restaurant staff both evening and breakfast were very pleasant and knowledgeable about what they were serving. Yes dining room in the evening was a little dark, again though ambiance, just a couple of subsidiaries, 
The food was lovely. The staff were great. The place is fantastic. Comfortable bed. We had what we called the soup room , nothing to do with weather, like I said themed rooms and personality. Love it. 
I'd love to have seen Chef himself to thank him for passing on his skills to the young generation he employs and teaches, and for his crazy style personality and for such a lovely needed break. 
I didn't so I've said it in my review THANK YOU everyone at the rudloe Wiltshire.

Marmite!!!! Hate the stuff but loved it here.

We stayed at the hotel following recieving a voucher gift from our son and daughter in law. I'm so glad I never read the reviews before I went. 
The hotel is very quirky and I can see that it may not be to everyone's taste with the stuffed animals in glass cases. It is just so different the rooms are lovely with such a very comfy bed.  The food is lovely although not Michelin standard that some guests seem to want to expect, but we are not paying Michelin star prices. The staff are warm and friendly around the hotel.
A lovely stay and we would definitely return.

A quirky lovely hotel

My husband treated me to a two night getaway for my birthday. He chose this location because of its proximity to Bath which we love, and the nearby towns offering a good range of antique shops, which we also love. He also knows a bulk standard hotel is not my thing. 

I admired the building, liked the style and decor throughout, enjoyed the ambient lighting in dining room, and savoured the food (particularly the gnocchi which was on a par with my Nonas). 

The receptionist was a tad unwelcoming, a smile and hearty hello would have been nice but other staff were superb, particularly the young restaurant waiting staff who were very attentive and polite, and although they did not appear overly confident, I'm sure this will come in time. The lady supervising the restaurant looked stressed and miserable walking in a busy don't talk to me manner. A smile or a hi would've been good.

The young chap who welcomed us immediately after we experienced the somewhat bristly receptionist could not have been more pleasant, top marks for him. The gentleman covering the bar was also very pleasant and clearly proficient in his work, so again this made up for the other staff member. Top marks for him also.
 
Breakfast via room service would've been a great plus as a very early morning time slot on our first day was a bit of an unwelcome wake up call for these two over worked, self employed zombies. However once we ate our lovely breakfast and had some coffee inside us, we were happy and took off out for the day. 

I was aware of some guests making a fuss at certain items being subjected to a clearly identified surcharge. Quite frankly at the greatly discounted price for our stay I fully expect this to be the case. A decent steak does come at a premium these days. Quality over quantity etc.

Having quickly nosed through other reviews I felt it important to mention the accommodation was beautifully warm throughout, despite sub zero temperatures outside. We stayed in the ancillary accommodation block, Treetops, and were not at all cold.

It was great to see a natural pond being created outside the building, this will make a nice addition to the overall scene while encouraging a natural habit for visiting wildlife. It's a nice touch I think and not something a bulk standard hotel would usually think or want to add.

Having previously owned and run similar premises and written sleuth style hotel inspector reports for the Northcliffe Newspaper Group, I'd score as follows:-

Location 10/10 - easy to find, well situated
Premises 9/10 - a few minor issues, wear and tear only and fully expected
Staff 8/10 - just one or two exceptions that need to smile and be more welcoming
Food & service 9/10 - understandably a reduced manageable menu, room service would be most welcome and happily paid for
Ambience 10/10 - husband has returned home full of ideas for our renovation/house revamp.

I'd happily return.

A unique, enjoyable stay.

Mixed feelings about our stay.  The place is vey quirky and not to everyone's taste I would imagine.  Lots of lovely artwork...everywhere, some erotic but we were ok with that.  If you're ok with stuffed animals and pickled fish, also skeletal deer head on several walls, that wont be a problem.  Wish we hadn't been upgraded to a deluxe room as it was on the top floor and very cold.  The windows were misted over by condensation spoiling our lovely view over the gardens and  distant Bath.  Only discovered the stuffed rat in a cage on our second day as it was in a very dark place  in between the bedroom and the bathroom.  Having said that, it didn't bother us and the bed was extremely comfortable, as were the pillows.  Only room for 1 lounge chair so we just sat on the bed.  Although the room was very cold most of the time, the friendly staff ensured we had an electric heater, which was did the trick.
The food was amazing, very nicely presented, tasty and plenty of it.  Downsides were: the restaurant had restricted lighting and was hard to read the menu.  I think the intention was to make it ambient, however, it was a tad too dark.  The evening restaurant staff were quite rude, forget small talk, plate plonked on table and off they trotted without a hint of a smile.  If you happened to have to say something to them the response was curt.
Would recommend the hotel if you like something a bit different to the norm.


Be open minded when you stay here.

An interesting venue. I suspect people will love it or hate it
It is not the easiest place to find
Parking is a lottery with no disabled spaces
Most of the accommodation is away from the house
If you don’t like taxidermy it is not for you 
The various room have an eclectic choice of decorations
Our room was very nice but would not be to everyone’s liking 
The good things
The staff were fantastic a great asset to the place
Food. Cannot say anything but fabulous 
Small winges. The path from the accommodation to the house / dining room is no lit
Reception has limited opening times
As stated at the beginning. IT IS AN EXPERIENCE
