Nicely restored, centuries old building, but with all the expected idiosyncrasies….sloping floors, low doorways and ceilings, narrow stairs, no lift. The restaurant was excellent, food delicious, varied menu. Breakfast options were good. The location in the village of Chiddingfold was perfect for us.

Mervin Canada

I have stayed here may times. Lovely old building. Great bar and atmosphere.

Trevor United Kingdom

The room and bathroom were spacious and clean. The addition of a table fan was a nice touch for added comfort during the summer. The inn had also prepared the baby cot before our arrival, which not many hotels do. The breakfast and dinner were excellent.

Rik Netherlands

I loved the atmosphere of a traditional pub with the quirky layout.

Deborah United States of America

Staff was fantastic. Hotel takes you back in time. Bathroom updated. Lovely country feel. Very friendly patrons and staff

Timothy United States of America

we loved the historical value of this beautiful old inn and pub. The bed was comfortable. The staff was nice and informative. the owner Hannah gave us a lot of history. Our room had a beautiful 4 poster bed and a separate sitting room. the pub is amazing too!

Cathie United States of America

Room characterful, friendly staff, good breakfast, nice ambience

Adrian United Kingdom

Had a wonderful stay and this cozy historic inn. The whole experience was super tasteful despite these strange pandemic times. We will come here again next time we need a little break from London.

Alexander United Kingdom

We liked the history, the dog friendliness, the staff, the room, the food, the village and its people.

Alison United Kingdom

Excellent breakfast. Not too sure about the location, in the bar. as we had a party of tourists come in during breakfast. Which was a bit off putting.
