“This historic inn offers more than just a room; it's a launchpad for exploring Esher. I particularly like that it's a stone's throw from restaurants and Sandown Park, plus you can sink into a comfy bed at the end of the day. The Burger Shack seals the deal: a satisfying, no-fuss meal right on site.”
