After many years living in central Dorking and now living elsewhere, this is our ‘go to’ hotel when we visit family in the area. Since it’s refurbishment it is a nice place to stay and within easy walking of restaurants and shops on Dorking High Street. Parking is limited on site, but both M&S and Sainsbury’s have paid car parking and the hours are 8am - 6pm Mon - Sat. We prefer Sainsbury’s - come out of the hotel, turn left and go up the first small road on the left - it is signposted. The road curves right and then you enter the car park at the back of the shop. Avoid the short stay parking around the shop entrance. If you park on a Saturday afternoon, you pay for the few hours up till 6pm and then you can park right through to 8am on Monday morning. There are plenty of restaurants in Dorking, but our ‘go to’ ones that have been around for a very long time are Dorking Brasserie for Indian food and The New Fountain Garden for a Chinese meal. Pre drinks in the nearby the Kings Arms for both. Table reservations should be made at busy times. A nice walk from the hotel to Denbies Vineyard is available - walk across the park and enter via a footpath which starts at Yew Tree Road. A 15 - 20 min drive away is the lovely Friday Street village - very small, but with a good car park and with a bit of research you will find a circular walk via the Leith Hill tower where, last time we visited, there were drinks available from a small kiosk at the foot of the tower.

The room was very clean, bedding was of good quality thou I prefer not so high pillows, plenty of coffee and tea and complimentary still and sparkling water. Biggest problem is lack of space for parking, it’s on a first come first served basis and quests had to park in every small area and not in dedicated spaces, making it very tight to manoeuvre. I didn’t notice an electric charge point, not saying there isn’t one but I would enquire before booking. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Wonderful rooms but overpriced food

The hotel is first class, staff very friendly, my only criticism was breakfast which was hugely over priced for what you got, it’s ok the price if the portions reflected it, but it was like eating at primary school again but paying top dollar for it

Lovely modernised pub stay

The property and room are gorgeous! They also provided a dog bed, bowls and a lovely gift for my pup! It is a perfect English town high street pub hotel-but much better appointed than other pub stays. I would suggest staying there in cooler months as it was a bit too warm.

Gorgeous hotel and the room (really fancy room) was very stylish. Bath is very slim and there were finger mark in the bath salts. Lovely clean bed linen and towels and a very comfy mattress. However there is no room service, service in the bar was painfully slow and breakfast service was slow. It took fifteen minutes to be noticed after I had been seated although to be fair the lovely waitress did apologise and treated me like a queen thereafter. The breakfast it self was very average - bacon was tasty but the rind was raw and it was cold; the poached eggs were almost hard boiled, and the fruit salad contained black banana and brown apple and was pretty tasteless. My top peeve though was paying £200 for a luxury night’s getaway and there was no air conditioning in the room. It was 30 degrees on check in and check out and the heat in the room was insufferable. I pay £60 to stay in a premier inn with air conditioning and a better breakfast…. That said the hotel and pub is lovely and my room was spotlessly clean and very nicely appointed. I just wouldn’t stay there in the summer…

The room was fantastic, but a shame that there was no parking available considering the price - on one night we saw a man sleeping in his van in the car park. It would be good to have a system that prioritizes hotel guests for spaces over pub patrons like these.
