Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offered surprisingly spacious and characterful rooms, complete with all the necessary amenities. The service was exceptional, with polite and professional staff overall, although slightly lacking in follow-up for drinks and food. The location, while convenient and well-appointed, suffered from some road noise. The dining experience, while decent in quality, had some minor shortcomings for dietary restrictions. Overall, a comfortable stay with great value for money.
The room was nice and the bed was comfy, although it was a bit cold at night. Found a couple of hairs that were not ours, but overall, the room was spacious and clean. The breakfast was lovely with well-cooked food, definitely a place to come back after a long day at Goodwood Revival.
The hotel offers very clean and well-equipped rooms that have had a nice refit at some stage. The service is top-notch with welcoming staff and a fantastic beer range. The location is ideal for a 'country' setting within easy reach of major airports. The dining experience offers a good selection but can be a little disappointing at times.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The rooms were well equipped and spacious, just so welcoming. The hotel was beautiful, clean, warm, and offered great coffee and chocolates. The service was wonderfully friendly and very helpful, going above and beyond to accommodate our requests. The location was discreet and lovely, with great amenities and close proximity to Farnham town center. The dining experience was very substantial and delicious, although a bit slow with service. Overall, a fantastic experience worth returning to.
The lodge-style building next to the pub offers well-equipped rooms with iron, iron board, tea and coffee facilities, and a good workspace. Free parking right outside the lodge and complimentary Wi-Fi make it convenient. However, the bedrooms being far from reception and the bar in a separate block with no cover to the main building can be a downside.
