    The breakfast was continental only, fairly small selection. It was very tasty but it would have been nice to have a cooked breakfast, especially when taking into consideration the price of the room.

    We stayed at the Kings Head for two nights, the room was very nice, and the bathroom was lovely. The staff were polite and there was a really good selection of drinks. Lunch was nice.

    A charming pub and hotel in a lovely little village. The room was immaculate and well decorated, staff were friendly and easy going. The continental breakfast was great- would have preferred a cooked option. The dinner at the pub restaurant was gorgeous, highly recommend the Lamb Pie !

    This is a charming place. The bedrooms are perfect. Big bed, face flannels, dressing gowns, all lovely personal touches. It is very quiet and has beautiful garden with seats. Close to Dorking which is a great little shopping town. Staff were kind and friendly.

    Very quaint pub in a lovely location. Janet was very accommodating of our early check in request as well, which was much appreciated. Was not expecting the food to be as fantastic as it was. The small plates are fantastic!

    We booked for Monday and Tuesday. Be aware the pub is closed on a Monday. We took ourselves off and ate elsewhere which was fine.

    Lovely room very considerably equipped. Very clean and comfortable bed. The whole pub was really nicely appointed. Lovely garden lovely staff and owners. Tucked off the main road through the village so was super quiet at night for sleeping

    It could be a bit noisy later in the evening, though this subsided when the bar closed. On site parking is quite limited, though we managed alright.

    Lovely location right in the Surrey hills with easy access to nice walks. Excellent restaurant, spacious room, and lovely, quiet back garden. Good bar with good choice of beers and other choices like cider.

    The room was a little on the small size once luggage is inside. The king bed was 2 singles pushed together so uncomfortable in the middle. Parking usually available outside apart from busy times - it could be difficult getting out when cars or vans were also parked across the lane. Continental breakfast had plenty of choice but some items could have been fresher.

    Great facility in a lovely location with easy access to much of the Surrey Hills. Hosts are very friendly and helpful. Excellent walking from the door. Good coffee shop attached.
