Fantastic location, right in the High Street & walking distance to Dorking Halls. Beautiful refurbished room with all modern touches and luxurious feel. Staff couldn’t be more helpful and genuinely friendly, the best I’ve experienced.
Sadly only a view of a brick wall & close to noisy glass recycling area for the hotel.
5.0
The decor and property are beautiful. With lots of character.
And the staff very good.
Breakfast was given to us free of charge
The boiler had broken the evening of our arrival and we had no chance to shower before leaving or the night before.

We travel a lot with business & for quickness we get the quicker more convenient option. On this occasion we were unable to book where we wanted so chose the White Horse (as a better alternative), it pays to "think out of the box" sometimes, definitely on this occasion. In future I will not go to the "quicker" options. I can't fault The White Horse, staff, food, accommodation were all excellent & I understand why/how they are continuously winning awards. Definitely a must! A*
There's nothing I would complain about. Rooms were perfectly adequate/comfortable, staff were more than accommodating, bar/restaurant not expensive

We arrived and a parking space was found for us. Due to my poor mobility stairs present a challenge and Karima was superb. She changed our room and was very helpful throughout our stay.
Both our evening meals were well presented and very tasty.
Beds were comfortable.

Comfy double was small but space was used well. Bathroom was nice with large shower with good water pressure. Closet with shelves and a safe! Beds were comfy!! Parking needs to be reserved which we did. Space was marked with our name. It was fine, but we had a small car.
The restaurant was disappointing. The hotel was quaint, unfortunately the restaurant area was not. Breakfast was fine but the serve was poor. We assume new and inexperienced staff plus the coach full of women took up the back dining space. Ate dinner here also but wish we had not. Menu posted outside in two spots, one of which was wrong. Simply fix that should not have happened.

The room needs a little bit attention - scruffy walls, some curtains not closing properly or needing to be re-attached at ends - but the bed was comfy, it was a good size and the bathroom was lovely. Very nice toiletries. Wifi was sketchy - asked for help and was told to walk around!

The food prices did not reflect the quality, for the evening meal and certainly not for breakfast.

We were flying from Gatwick and did not want to stay in a bog standard, expensive Airport hotel, Dorking is about 20-25 mins drive from Gatwick. This Hotel is ideal in that it has an all-night reception, great if you are flying very early or arriving late after midnight. Full marks to Jason the night manager- very helpful. Beds and Egyptian cotton sheets are very comfortable. Food and wines are also much better than you would find at an Airport Hotel. We would certainly stay again if catching an early morning flight from Gatwick.
Parking - limited, so make sure you book a space. The restaurant staff could have been a bit more on the ball, we booked a table for dinner, but when we arrived they had no record of the booking, so ended up on the dud table. It's located on the High Street, so some might find it a bit noisy if you are in a front room, but there are quieter rooms at the back of the hotel.

Very comfy beds
The staff at the front desk on arrival weren’t the friendliest. The staff we met at the bar and restaurant were lovely and super accommodating.
8.0
the rooms had everything one required even bathrobes. everything was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent. quickly provided with helpful staff in nice surroundings.
Not clear where entrance is. Greeted at night when we couldn’t find our allocated parking spot with “did you want something?’ by male receptionist. He then said he was busy and would be back. Didn’t come back for over 10 mins so we just parked in a spot not reserved. Not a good start.
3.0
The rooms look cosy
First off do NOT eat in their on-site restaurant! The food is below mediocre and quite frankly of not even merely good quality. But just wait for the prices, they are even more an affront than the food. Ridiculously expensive for what we were being served.
The staff at reception was very rude upon our arrival. My partner had to deal with them afterwards as I couldn’t face their rudeness again. Not a great first impression and set the tone for the rest of the stay.
The room looked quite lovely when we entered. Modern decor and definitely playing on the cozy countryside theme. However the bathroom was dusty and when we woke the next morning the room was really damp. Especially noticeable when we put on our jumpers and jackets, they were really clammy and damp. So apparently no air filter system in the rooms.
9.0
The room was small but very comfortable. Would stay again if in the area.
The evening meal was excellent. Breakfast was a bit disorganized. At 8.45 am not a lot of continental breakfast left and the staff was a little disorganized,

Beautiful room in a very old coaching inn, with original sash windows, a huge bathroom with good shower and separate freestanding claw-foot bath - I didn't' use that but it looked nice. We slept well so the mattress must have been good (I didn't notice either way).
Nice selection of tea/coffee, biscuits. Wi-Fi seemed fine. Good quality toiletries provided.
Reception were also very helpful with a spare charger, baggage storage after check-out, and generally friendly. I had a room-only rate so I can't judge the breakfast.
There is a restaurant on site, where i hadn't booked but they were able to find a table which was good. Amazing ham croquettes, salads, good pizza, nice drinks and reasonably priced.
TV didn't really work, often came up with "no signal".
