We spent an amazing long weekend at Wotton House. The hotel and its garden are magnificent, nicely decorated inside and clean. The breakfast is great, there is a restaurant inside and staff is lovely. They give you a map when you arrive at the hotel with several footpaths - we did them all during our stay and it was so beautiful and relaxing. Perfect for a countryside break away from the city. Plus, they have an inside swimming pool, sauna & hammam. 100% recommend.

Ayano United States of America

The hotel looks fabulous and is situated in beautiful grounds. The restaurant is good as are the leisure facilities. However, what made our stay was the outstanding service from every staff member. From the helpful and friendly staff, at check in, the restaurant, the bar and the maintenance staff we ended up chatting to. They made our stay!

Helen United Kingdom

The majority of staff were polite professional and friendly. The location was fabulous. The cleanliness and the decor were outsandimg. I would like to say a big thank you to the gardener, the barmaid, the ladies on reception,the breakfast and restaurant staff and the General Manager who recommended the roast cod with mussels.Lastly the receptioinist who kindly organized a taxi into Dorking.The taxi driver was very knowledgeable about the history of the Hotel and the area.

The grounds were beautiful and perfect to spend some time having a drink, a little stroll or reading under the sun. The food was nice and the bed was comfortable.
