a comfortable stay after our wedding day!
Such a comfortable stay after our wedding day, the beds were so luxurious and the shower was lovely and powerful. The staff were so helpful and the breakfast was so delicious, especially the lattes!

nice room, terrible breakfast
Comfortable with an excellent wine list and lovely linen. Breakfast though isn't great and is pretty shoddily put together.

Better than the weather
A one night stay for a meeting on Sunday in Godalming.
Lovely village setting and a plainly popular venue for eating and drinking in spite of heavy rain.
Excellent breakfast freshly and individually cooked.

Chic and cosy!
Stayed for the weekend. The staff were exceptionally helpful and nothing was too much bother for them. The food was lovely both in the evening and the breakfast was varied which was great too. The room was very chic and cosy.

My stay for the weekend was for a local wedding.
From arrival and throughout my stay the staff at the property could not do enough - on arrival helping to carry bags to my room and showing me into the room.
The room was small but fine for me, the quirky old building meant that the room was sloped, but that adds to the character! Well equipped with coffee machine and kettle, complimentary bottled water and local beer.
Breakfast was wonderful, lovely continental buffet style and Cooked breakfast to order, all included.
We dined on the first night and the food was also lovely.

Stylish but small
Stylish and comfortable rooms, but they are small. No air-con, bath or fridge in the room. Noise from restaurant when customers are outside. Very poor wi-fi and almost no mobile signal (not the hotel’s fault). Good breakfast. Background noise from busy A3.

Lovely place to stay.
Lovely place and lovely, friendly staff. Lots of outside covered seating by the river in a great setting.
Room small but cosy and very well equipped. Even has coffee maker. Walk in shower, immaculately clean.
Food very good, nicely presented and a slight twist on the normal pub food.
Breakfast on first day had to be pre-ordered,for whatever reason. This meal therefore wasn't so good, rather dried up. A pity as second day breakfast excellent.
Really enjoyed our stay.
