Portland Rufus Castle Hotels

"Lovely comfortable stay. Had everything we needed for a great winter long weekend away with the children."

"Great place, clean, clear instructions/directions! No complaints."

"Yes, the room was spotless but it is the friendliness of the staff that makes our stay most enjoyable. The wide choice of breakfast suits everyone. Unfortunately we found the evening dinners a little too rich for our taste on this visit. Previous visits have had more choice for the evening meal, with some more 'basic' meals available. However the chef was most accommodating when it came to catering for allergies. "

"Excellent location with quick access to Chesil Beach. The bus stops directly outside to take you into Weymouth if you don't want to drive in. A beautiful flat with a great range of amenities and super communicatoon from Helen the host."

"A lovely flat with a spacious feel and with stunning sea and roof top views at the back. I appreciated its convenience for the Co-op and local amenities to the front, and the down hill walking (and up again!) to the beach and cliff top walks. (As it’s on the main road there can be a little traffic noise from the master bedroom at the front, but it wasn’t a problem with ear plugs. The back bedroom is peaceful with a beautiful sea view). Thank you for making my stay so comfortable. I’ll definitely be back!"

"I was attending a course in the leisure centre next door. The Aqua was an excellent, relaxed place to stay. The staff/owners were polite, friendly and generated a relaxed atmosphere. The small, well stocked bar carried on this relaxing, informal atmosphere. (The squeaky bar stools could do with fixing but were still amusing) The food is top notch and very affordable. The cooked breakfast (Included) is amazing and you can select as little or as much as you want. Lovely coffee as well. Cereal and toast is also available and I enjoyed the relaxed serve yourself arrangement. Helga, was on hand to make sure you had everything you needed and was very friendly and approachable. You can take a walk to the highest point in Portland (490 feet above sea level) to take in breathtaking views and sunsets. (A bus is also available as it's quite a walk!) My room was clean and tidy and all I need in a stay. A comfortable bed and shower. TV reception was very poor, giving only a handful of channels, but this didn't really affect me as I don't go to places to sit in hotel rooms watching TV. The Aqua is a great place to relax and enjoy great food and drink. I liked the informal, laid-back atmosphere as this added to the relaxation. This, plus the attentive, friendly staff, made my stay very enjoyable. I would certainly stay at The Aqua again. "

"Perfect location for us"

"Working on business on the island for a few days, and this made a great location to work from. Thankfully the weather was good and evening cliffside walks to the Bill and down to the Sculpture park were great. The property has parking and internet but was a little slow. Hot tub out of action during my stay. Its a quite residential area. The house all nice and clean with enough amenities to cook, wash etc. Bedding and towels all clean, but i'd take your own shower gel etc. "
