Fabulous location. Evening meal excellent...breakfast left a bit to be desired...service poor. BUT...the host took the cost of breakfast off the bill without being asked. She recognised the issues before i raised them.....so 10/10 for that!

Lovely place, friendly staff, well located for exploring nearby attractions. Cosy room above the pub. Bathroom is very clean and modern. Very quiet at night. The pub's restaurant serves good food, though I believe the pub is the only dining option in the village. Would stay here again next time I'm in the area.

If you haven't tried this reasonably priced hotel/ restaurant you are in for a treat. Better than average restaurant and excllent service on a busy Saturday night. The rooms may be small but have great character. Last - but not least - check out the Bar Snacks and nibbles menu for an afternoon treat.

Lovely old pub and B&B in a beautiful location. Enjoyed a delicious dinner followed by a gourmet breakfast the next day. My room was clean and spacious with a nice walk in shower. Tea, coffee and biscuits were in the room and I had a lovely view of mature trees and rolling hills.

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.

The Stag

Everything was great, two very minor things. The radiator in the bathroom was emitting more heat than a nuclear power ststion, could do with truning down a tad. Was actually to hot to stay in the bathroom with the door closed. And the broadband was very slow. But in the grand scheme of things, nothing to worry about.
