Well what a suprise this was! Years ago the White Horse had a bad reputation and was considered a bit of a dive. No longer though. The current owners have turned this into a very clean, well presented and comfortable stay. The staff were efficient, friendly and courteous. The bar and dining area were clean, tidy, regularly bussed the tables. The breakfast was ample and very well presented and the same can be said for the eveing meal. The room was spacious and well maintained with nice little touches such as a welcome card and a complimentary welcome tray featuring a collection of small sweet treats - and AIRCON. I would recommend a stay at the White Horse to anyone.

a double bed in a hotel should typically be accessible from both sides for guest convenience, with space to get in and out from each side, even if the bed isn't a king-size. For the best guest experience and comfort, especially for couples, there should be enough room for two people to enter and exit the bed easily without having to climb over each other or a wall, which can be a problem with a double bed if it's placed too tightly against a wall. There was also a step between room and bathroom was very dangerous in dark at night so had to leave light on. Tv didn't work. control needed new batteries which once in bed wasn't an option as far as we were concerned I had to climb over my wife 3 times during the night who has mobility issues waking her to use the bathroom which made our stay very uncomfortable

After many years living in central Dorking and now living elsewhere, this is our ‘go to’ hotel when we visit family in the area. Since it’s refurbishment it is a nice place to stay and within easy walking of restaurants and shops on Dorking High Street.

Parking is limited on site, but both M&S and Sainsbury’s have paid car parking and the hours are 8am - 6pm Mon - Sat. We prefer Sainsbury’s - come out of the hotel, turn left and go up the first small road on the left - it is signposted. The road curves right and then you enter the car park at the back of the shop. Avoid the short stay parking around the shop entrance. If you park on a Saturday afternoon, you pay for the few hours up till 6pm and then you can park right through to 8am on Monday morning.

There are plenty of restaurants in Dorking, but our ‘go to’ ones that have been around for a very long time are Dorking Brasserie for Indian food and The New Fountain Garden for a Chinese meal. Pre drinks in the nearby the Kings Arms for both. Table reservations should be made at busy times.

A nice walk from the hotel to Denbies Vineyard is available - walk across the park and enter via a footpath which starts at Yew Tree Road.

A 15 - 20 min drive away is the lovely Friday Street village - very small, but with a good car park and with a bit of research you will find a circular walk via the Leith Hill tower where, last time we visited, there were drinks available from a small kiosk at the foot of the tower.

The room was very clean, bedding was of good quality thou I prefer not so high pillows, plenty of coffee and tea and complimentary still and sparkling water.
Biggest problem is lack of space for parking, it’s on a first come first served basis and quests had to park in every small area and not in dedicated spaces, making it very tight to manoeuvre. I didn’t notice an electric charge point, not saying there isn’t one but I would enquire before booking.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Lovely modernised pub stay

Gorgeous hotel and the room (really fancy room) was very stylish. Bath is very slim and there were finger mark in the bath salts. Lovely clean bed linen and towels and a very comfy mattress. However there is no room service, service in the bar was painfully slow and breakfast service was slow. It took fifteen minutes to be noticed after I had been seated although to be fair the lovely waitress did apologise and treated me like a queen thereafter. The breakfast it self was very average - bacon was tasty but the rind was raw and it was cold; the poached eggs were almost hard boiled, and the fruit salad contained black banana and brown apple and was pretty tasteless.
My top peeve though was paying £200 for a luxury night’s getaway and there was no air conditioning in the room. It was 30 degrees on check in and check out and the heat in the room was insufferable. I pay £60 to stay in a premier inn with air conditioning and a better breakfast….
That said the hotel and pub is lovely and my room was spotlessly clean and very nicely appointed. I just wouldn’t stay there in the summer…

Avoid room 24

In general this was a nice establishment to stay. However room 24 is right above the vehicle entrance to this old coaching inn which has a cobbled surface. At 5.15 we were awoke by the sound of the bin men moving wheelie bins in and out of the hotel as the room is immediately above the entrance. When they eventually stopped the general traffic kept us awake. Apart from that one side of the double bed is against the wall making going to the loo in the middle of the night a bit of an issue for someone. The food was good and at reasonable prices.

Lovely comfortable hotel right in the middle of Dorking. Lovely welcoming touches (welcome note in the room, complimentary sweet treats, fresh milk for teas etc.); very good a la carte breakfast; comfortable room with good radio and TV, and pod coffeemaker (plastic free pods); lovely toiletries in refillable bottles in bathroom; all the satgg we met were excellent. It suited usnvery well for our stay. Be aware that there are narrow and fairly steep stairs to many of the rooms, so check that out with them before staying if that's an issue for you

Hotel with good ambience and would recommend

I expected to notice a huge difference in that the hotel is now under new ownership and yes, there were differences. Huge bonus is that residents are not now charged to park (something that irritated before). Checking in is now better organised. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and efficient in most quarters. As before rooms and beds are very comfortable and the hotel has a good ambience.
The main bonus for us is location. Our son lives in the High Street so it is an ideal place for us to stay when visiting,especially at Christmas when there were several of us.
On the downside, service at breakfast is sometimes slow and a bit disorganised. Always more efficient on Christmas Day because they need to set up for lunch but often goes downhill a bit thereafter. It also needs better organisation at other times of the year.
There is not enough draw space in the bedrooms. We take out the spare linen in the top of the wardrobes and use that space so not a problem for a few nights stay. The huge table lamps on the small bedside tables take up too much room. A small criticism but something which might be taken on board.
Disappointingly, a minature aftershave spray, which must have got knocked on the floor, was binned. Should have been put back on the shelf.
However, all in all a good place to stay. Suits us very well and we would recommend it.
