Wonderful Surrey Hills Location

Excellent place to stay with a fabulous restaurant (the food is wonderful) and a relaxing country pub bar.
Allan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Owner is lovely

The hotel really is MINT. The food is nice and rooms are nicely done. The reason for the 3 star is the bed I slept in last night slumped in the middle I didn't sleep a wink all night. It was so uncomfortable. In addition the breakfast doesn't open till 8am. This morning it was 8.30am making us late for a 9am meeting. The breakfast could start 7.30am or on time and the bed issue definitely needs addressing. The owner of the place is lovely!

Incredible stay! Comfy, clean rooms and the staff could not do enough for you. The food was incredible and we were given a free glass of fizz as we were celebrating our anniversary. Thank you so much!

Hidden gem

Great food and fab rooms, loved the decor and charm of this inn.
Marc, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Little place to stay. Good location to reach Box hill and Dorking. Friendly staff, locals are dining. Standard room (Epsom) has view to the roofs/inner yard/other houses, so I suggest to get better room for the view to the church. Default selection for Breakfasts.

Diana, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were very kind and the room was very clean. Our stay just happened to coincide with a heat wave and it was very hot and a bit challenging with opening the windows since our room was located just above the rubbish area. We kept the windows closed a lot to avoid the smell and the flies. They were very helpful in providing a fan, lots of ice and water to help keep us cool. We recommend booking directly so if you need to request a room change, it would be easier to accommodate that request, but because we used a 3rd party we had to stay in the room we were given. The heat wave impacted a lot, but we would still recommend The Running Horses, just maybe in a colder season:)

Great rooms, average food.

Beautiful place with lots of character. Rooms were smal but well appointed with a very comfortable bed. Breakfast served was pleasant but the service was ridiculously slow and the food average with coffee that was moderately warm, however, I would definitely stay there again.
