Most affluent of the green and pleasant Home Counties, Surrey is often spoken of as little more than a London commuter belt. But actually 70% of Surrey is classed as green belt land, so this is prime country for outdoorsy pursuits, punctuated by picture-postcard-perfect pubs and beautiful river views. Some of the most romantic hotels in Surrey take advantage of these views and the pretty towns which surround them, but our Gurus have also uncovered some wonderful rural escapes.
As far as the green bits go the Surrey Hills are considered an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and then there's the South Downs National Park, but there’s also a bit of wine country - think Denbies Wine Estate near Dorking. You’ll find some of our picks for 6 of the most romantic hotels in Surrey offering spectacular rural views, but you’ll also find some close to the region’s highlights, like Hampton Court Palace, Epsom Racecourse, Polesden Lacy, Loseley Park and Clandon Park.
