The White Horse is a beautiful Grade II-listed pub in the heart of Dorking with atmospheric dining areas, serving an award-winning fresh and seasonal menu, and a cosy oak beamed bar with fireplace. The 56 characterful bedrooms all have private bathrooms, wifi, Bramley toiletries and baked treats on arrival. The pub is very family friendly and a number of rooms accommodate dogs. On the edge of the Surrey Hills AONB, with a direct train link to London and Gatwick Airport just 12 miles away, the local attractions of Denbies Vineyard and Chessington World of Adventures are all within easy reach by car.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.0 for a two-person trip.

    One of the nicest places we have ever stayed! The decor is absolutely gorgeous & we didn’t want to leave. Love the little extra touches too (the little treats were a welcome surprise). Our dog loved it too.
