Rufflets Garden
Set within ten acres of beautiful grounds, the gardens at Rufflets St Andrews are an integral part of the character and experience of this historic country house hotel. Created alongside the original house in 1924, the formal gardens were designed by John Donald Mills and feature mature trees, established planting and attractive stonework.
Visitors can explore a varied landscape, from elegant formal gardens and sweeping lawns to peaceful shaded woodland, complete with burns and bridges. The grounds are rich in wildlife and provide a tranquil setting to enjoy nature throughout the seasons.
At the heart of Rufflets is its productive kitchen garden, where a wide variety of fruit, vegetables and herbs are grown. Seasonal produce harvested from the garden helps shape the menus at Rufflets, creating a strong connection between the grounds and the food served in the hotel.
The gardens also reflect Rufflets’ commitment to sustainability, biodiversity and wellbeing, with organic growing practices and planting designed to encourage visitors to reconnect with nature.
