Central location and a really quiet comfortable room

I’ve stayed here twice and both times were very pleasant. The rooms are clean and nicely decorated. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The hotel is within walking distance of a Waitrose and all of the downtown shops. Farnham is a lovely market town and The Bishop’s Table only adds to the enjoyment.

The Bishop's Table Hotel is a converted historic building in downtown Farnham. It is close and convenient to the shops and sights downtown. Allen greeted us and was one of the friendliest hoteliers we've met in a while (and we travel a lot!) The room and bath were spotless and the wifi worked perfectly and was fast. The shower was powerful and there was plenty of hot water. The towels were huge! The rooms are not large, bu we didn't expect that from a restored historic property -- if that's important to you,I would ask about room options before booking. My niece badly crushed her hand in a car door the night of our stay and Allen was extremely helpful providing ice and suggesting health care options. Our continental breakfast was fresh and tasty. Everyone we met in the hotel was friendly and professional. We would definitely return!

Civid made thing a little bit harder but is was sorted so well Wood have loved not food

Management coped exceptionally well with the circumstances. Our breakfast hamper was left promptly outside the room in the morning and staff were happy to provide more bottles of milk and teabags. Wonderful location and room was great. Would definitely recommend.

Warm, friendly welcome. The room was very clean and bathroom was lovely and warm with a large shower.

Very comfortable rooms in a great location. Staff weren’t present at check in with current guidelines but made sure we were well informed about accessing the rooms and helped us sort a place to store bikes

Considering that we are in a pandemic the service and care is outstanding

The service was very welcoming especially as we had bikes and were soaking wet! The room was really nice - large and clean with good in room amenities and a lovely continental breakfast. Really good communication with the hotel team before our stay as well.

For us the price of breakfast for far to much We paid £10 each ! For a croissant and a juice So £20 for 2 croissants and juice 😬

Host Info
The Bishops Table is has been regenerated to offer Farnham’s newest and most up-to-date boutique hotel bedrooms. With minimum queen size double beds, and with rooms reflecting the rich history of the town by being named after famous occupants of the town from Bishops and writers to actresses and world champion formula 1 drivers, it is really the best town centre hotel to relax and unwind. Dating from the 1750’s, the Bishops Table Hotel is a fine example of the Georgian architecture found in Farnham. With a past ranging from being the home of the Marquis of Lothian, to being a doctors surgery and a priests training house owned by the Bishop of Winchester, the building became a hotel in the early 1960’s. The building is currently undergoing a transformation with brand new rooms opening in April 2016, and when completed, the hotel will boast 25 boutique rooms including a wheelchair access room, and with brand new bar and function room. One thing that has not changed is our legendary welcoming and attentive service, and we strive to live up to our motto – ‘Arrive as Guests – Leave as Friends’. See what our guests have said about our new rooms, and we look forward to seeing you!
Farnham is a beautiful market town with predominantly Georgian architecture on the edge of the South Downs and Jane Austen country. It built its wealth originally in cloth, and later in growing high quality hops. Modern Farnham has a delightful range of restaurants, bars, and shops for a visitor, as well and a range of museums and galleries, and a thriving arts centre. The town has a rich history, and was the site of the battle of Fearnhamme in c893ad, when the Saxons defeated the Vikings. Since then the town has been entwined with English Monarchy, including Henry Vlll being a regular visitor, and the town was the scene of much fighting in the Civil War. There has been a wide range of notable people in the town and surrounding area from Mike Hawthorn to Jane Austen. The Bishops Table has reflected this past in the new boutique bedrooms. The town has easy links to the main roads of the south, and is close to Winchester, Portsmouth and Guildford - it is also less than an hour by train from London. The hotel and town is a popular base for those visiting the Farnborough Airshow, the Goodwood Revival and Festival of Speed, and the horse racing at Glorious Goodwood and Ascot.
