Lots of charm

9.0

Our room was lovely, had lots of charm and we appreciated the personal touch of a welcome note and some sweet treats. The room had character and ample space. It was clean and we were grateful for the air conditioning unit due to the heat. The pub downstairs had great food and drinks. All staff we met were great. The rooms are upstairs, no elevator (something to be mindful off if travelling with a large suitcase) we just decanted what we required into our hand luggage bags which was no issue rather than trying to navigate the stairs. The hotel is located in the main high street, so very easy walk to shops and restaurants.

Not a big issue but the two staff managing breakfast were a bit all over the place. Mixed up our order twice, items missing. It wasn’t particularly busy, they just seemed disorganised.

Gorgeous comfy hotel

10.0

A lovely modern hotel in a perfect location for our trip. Great sized portions of delicious food, attentive kind staff.

Did not effect us but unfortunately water from one of the rooms was flooding through the ceiling into the bar

White Horse 'hotel', Dorking, taking money for nothing

2.0

Room barely bigger than bed. Mobile AC unit improperly installed meant ground floor window open. So, noisy and insecure. 'Cosy room' is in fact a poorly converted outhouse. No phone and no reception to complain at the time. Post-visit complaint dismissed. Dreadful for £178/night and asking £17 extra for breakfast.
