“I think this historic hotel, nestled in the North Downs, has some appealing qualities, especially for those who appreciate a family-friendly environment and easy access to trails. The outdoor heated pool is a definite plus during the warmer months, and the Emlyn Restaurant seems to emphasize quality British cuisine. While some rooms might need updating, the versatile Tithe Barn stands out as a venue for larger events.”

Solid Stay Near Box Hill

I was pleased with the helpful staff. The room was clean and spacious! The blackout curtains worked well. I appreciated that detail. Breakfast featured a buffet with varied options.

The process seemed inefficient.

The hotel is in a convenient location near Denbies. The hotel is located a bit outside the town center. This suited my needs for a quieter stay. There is a big car park opposite the hotel.

Absolutely Loved My Visit!

early check-incomfy bedconvenient socketsstaff behaviour

I could check into my room early because I needed it for a wedding, that was super convenient! The bed was so comfy, and the curtains blocked all light. There were also handy sockets by the bed and by the mirror. The bar area looked very pretty and the gardens are lovely!

The staff let themselves into my hotel room when I asked for more toilet paper. They didn't knock first and I could have been changing. This was a huge invasion of privacy.

The hotel enjoys proximity to Box Hill, a bonus for outdoor enthusiasts. The area is perfect for a relaxing run, and the surrounding gardens add to the appeal. It's a great spot for combining leisure and convenience.
