The room was newly refurbished so was in very good condition and the bed was very comfortable. Only downside was no control of the temperature in the room. We ate with friends in the restaurant in the evening and reviews were mixed with a vegetarian meal being unavailable although there was only a choice of 3 and no house red wine. The surroundings however were very pleasant.

Little gem
A loveky hotel/pub. Rooms were tastefully decorated with nice furnishings. Very friendly staff. Cozy and warm. Lovely food. Authentic. The town was disappointing for shops although lots of places to eat and some pubs. We just stayed in to eat and drink as it was so nice.

I am writing to share feedback from our recent stay at the White Horse, Dorking. While there were aspects we enjoyed, certain elements of our experience did not meet our expectations. To begin on a positive note, we were truly impressed by the room itself. It was beautifully designed, comfortable, and added a sense of luxury to our stay. However, we encountered some disappointments with the dining services. The breakfast service was terribly slow; we waited a significant amount of time to be acknowledged to be seated then a further 15 minutes before our order was taken. It took 25 minutes to be served our drinks, which was just juice, and our meal was finally served 45 minutes later. When breakfast was served, one of the items was wrong but the response was that it would take another 20 minutes to replace which made us feel like an inconvenience to them. There was no communication from staff that service would take so long and overall it impacted our morning plans. Additionally, during dinner service the evening before, the one menu item my wife and I were both looking forward to was unavailable, however we weren’t told this until we tried to order. When ordering dessert we were then declined one of our choices again due to lack of availability. We believe these are areas for potential improvement, and I wanted to share this in hopes of enhancing the experience for future guests.

Such a quaint hotel! Check in was friendly. Since there were two sets of stairs to climb with our luggage, we would have appreciated help to our room as I’m no longer a Spring chicken. This is my only complaint. There was a bright pink old fashioned radio softly playing music when we entered. A personally addressed hand written welcome card and complimentary treats and beverages provided. Two luggage racks were extremely appreciated. In our three weeks of traveling, only one other hotel provided a luggage rack. The heated towel rack in the bathroom was already on with the towels nice and warm. My favourite thing, even though we didn’t have a dog with us, was the “Stick Library” basket by the outdoor dog wash station. This hotel understands stepping up service! Even our check out was enjoyable. Wish we could have stayed longer!
