Set in a tranquil setting with a stunning garden running down from the pretty 19th century pub to the River Tillingbourne at its foot, this is a place to hole up away from the outside world.
The low-ceilinged bar has nooks for sitting and nursing a pint of Shere Drop from the Surrey Hills Brewery which you can savour in front of a blazing fire, as well as a dining room serving delicious seasonal dishes.
Rooms are comfortably furnished with antiques, luxury linens, rain showers, some with roll-top baths for sinking into with a glass of bubbles.
