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! ##### Jodie Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claire 18 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Claire Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 8 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Pretty pub, great location for hiking! We stayed at the Running Horses as looking for a base to hike locally Saturday and Sunday. The pub has a lovely terrace which along with the bar and bedrooms are dog friendly. Our room was well maintained, comfortable and quiet. We had dinner and breakfast both tasty with good service. We enjoyed our stay and would visit again as a great location for Box Hill hikes and surrounding walks. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Raymond 23 Sept 2023 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Funeral Very friendly ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/887D9006977EB20D27AE6583E4B554E0CBBF322A1695464661502.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Raymond Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharon 5 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 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:) ##### Sharon Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandeep 28 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### I love this place…. This place is awesome! From the moment we arrived we just knew it was the start of a great weekend… gorgeous building and surrounding areas, superb food and drink selection (you have to try their Old Fashioned cocktail, even my wife who would swear at the mention of whiskey was blown away - I had several cough cough)… our accommodation was perfect, exactly what we thought it would be. Very clean and spacious - it was a treat! The service and staff are top-notch… clearly they all care about what they do and what it means for this place - honestly, everyone was on-point, friendly and caring… we will definitely be coming back one day! ##### Sandeep Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Alexander 12 Nov 2025 Liked: Staff & service Pleasant staff upon my arrival. The Running Horses is a bit shabby but not very chic. The room was a good size with well thought out amenities. However, the tv didn't work and just pixelated which was slightly irritating after a long day. The shower head in the bathroom was black with mildew although there was also a rainfall shower head. My dinner was ok. The soup was delicious but only tepid. My main course, a blisteringly hot pie but the mash was only just warm and the cabbage was cold. Breakfast was a bit of a disaster as I had explained that I would be down at 8am sharp. Other than the chef, the place was in darkness and no staff. Eventually I had to go into the kitchen to ask the chef about breakfast! At last, a member of staff turned up and I was able to get my order taken. Breakfast was expensive and not worth the £14 charge excluding drinks. The options for breakfast were poor. Like so many small hotels, attention to detail and general observation were lacking. In summary: could do better! ##### Alexander Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Cheltenham Chase Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Delta-By-Marriott-Cheltenham-Chase-Hotel.h9657.Hotel-Information) > - [The New French Partridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Northampton-Hotels-The-New-French-Partridge.h2288818.Hotel-Information) > - [Splash Landings Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Splash-Landings-Hotel.h1160988.Hotel-Information) > - [Best Western Pinewood Manchester Airport-Wilmslow Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wilmslow-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Pinewood-On-Wilmslow-Hotel-Cheshire.h22074.Hotel-Information) > - [Wotton House Country Estate Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dorking-Hotels-Wotton-House-Country-Estate-Hotel.h1787507.Hotel-Information) > - [Etrop Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Etrop-Grange.h49116.Hotel-Information) > - [The Derwent Manor Boutique Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Consett-Hotels-The-Derwent-Manor-Boutique-Hotel.h9535.Hotel-Information) > - [Felbridge Gatwick Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/East-Grinstead-Hotels-Elite-Venue-Selection-Felbridge-Gatwick.h16173617.Hotel-Information) > - [Fisherman's Cot, Tiverton by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tiverton-Hotels-Fishermans-Cot.h11900175.Hotel-Information) > - [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > - [Lakeside Lodge with 6 berth hot tub and private fishing peg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lincoln-Hotels-Delightful-Lakeside-Lodge-With-Hot-Tub-Private-Fishing-Peg-With-Stunning-View.h27123912.Hotel-Information) > - [Bredbury Hall by Accor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stockport-Hotels-Bredbury-Hall.h64706.Hotel-Information) > - [Delta Hotels by Marriott Warwick](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warwick-Hotels-M40-J15-Warwick-Hotel.h10444.Hotel-Information) > - [Northlands Farm & Lakes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chichester-Hotels-Northlands-Farm-Lakes-Premium-Chalet-1.h37797465.Hotel-Information) > - [DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Manchester-Airport.h26104.Hotel-Information) > - [Saltmoore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-Raithwaite-Sandsend.h4276816.Hotel-Information) > - [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > - [Urban Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bournemouth-Hotels-Urban-Beach-Hotel.h2814369.Hotel-Information) > - [Wotton House Country Estate Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dorking-Hotels-Wotton-House-Hotel.h88170465.Hotel-Information) > - [Delta Hotels by Marriott Colchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Colchester.h14251.Hotel-Information) > - [Wychnor Park Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Wychnor-Park-Country-Club.h1927715.Hotel-Information) > - [Forest Pines Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brigg-Hotels-Forest-Pines-Spa-Golf-Resort.h461512.Hotel-Information) > - [DoubleTree by Hilton Stoke on Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Stoke-On-Trent.h6788.Hotel-Information) > - [Ox Hotel Manchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Milton-Manchester-Hotel.h18787802.Hotel-Information) > - [Caverswall Castle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Caverswall-Castle.h23959535.Hotel-Information) > - [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > - [Makeney Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belper-Hotels-Makeney-Hall-Hotel.h1206529.Hotel-Information) > - [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > - [Luxury caravan at Butlins Skegness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-Luxury-Caravan-At-Butlins-Skegness.h36376338.Hotel-Information) ---
