“A traditional coaching inn that's undergone a complete renovation in central Dorking. The building's original charm remains, particularly in the characterful living areas. Rooms have a modern spin with grey-green hues and leather headboards. Complete with a very good restaurant. An atmospheric stay.”

The White Horse Hotel
A £4 million refurbishment has transformed this 13th-century coaching inn into a chic, contemporary hotel where original oak beams blend seamlessly with Dickensian memorabilia, retro furnishings and artworks. Novelist Charles Dickens resided here while writing the Pickwick Papers.
