Just south of Harrogate
Rudding Park is about two miles south of Harrogate, off the A658 shortly before the turn for Leeds Bradford Airport. It is easy to find in daylight; after dark we use the Follifoot Road approach, which is clearer than the main road entrance.
That position makes it the natural first stop for airport arrivals. Many of our LBA pickups check in at Rudding, around ten minutes away, before we drive them on to a wedding, meeting or spa appointment.
Drop-off and waiting
The hotel's valet team looks after the front sweep. After setting down, we park in the staff area by the spa so the car remains close and on call through a conference day or a long Sunday lunch in the conservatory.
Choosing the car
Wedding couples and business guests travelling alone or in pairs usually take the silver Mercedes-Benz V-Class. Spa groups and conference delegates arriving together travel in the V-Class, which carries up to 7 adults with luggage.
