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 stay - poor WiFi

We had a great stay. The room was small but perfectly fine for what we needed. Very cute and English. The breakfast was great! We loved it. And we also had dinner there a couple nights and the food was good. I needed WiFi as I had to work on the morning - but the Connection was really poor.. this would be the only downside for me

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.

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.

Attractive property, spacious dining area. Difficult to find parking on arrival 3pm. Room noisy from kitchen fans until 11pm then started again at 7:30am. Unpleasant sewerage smell from the bathroom and into the bedroom.

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.

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.
