What a fantastic little place

Having had a 3 hour drive down, we were greeted with a smile and two delightful rooms. Crisp linen and a smile. Food was fabulous (try the scotch eggs). Beer was good and the conversation was great. Will come back when visiting family. Fully booked for Sunday lunch so make sure you book if coming to stay. Judging by the 3 courses we had well worth booking

Great quirky pub with rooms in the Surrey hills. Cyclist paradise as we woke in the morning to hundreds stopping for a drink or refreshments. Only complaint that the pub closed early even for residents, however great homemade food.

Saturday night in Coldharbour

Lovely Saturday night away up at Leith Hill. We arrived for a late lunch. We’d booked a double room for the night but when the staff saw our two Labradors - they gave us a much bigger room. Everyone was really friendly at the pub and the Plough is perfect for exploring the beautiful countryside around Coldharbour. The food was excellent and the service superb. Breakfast was really good. It feels really ‘different’ up there - lovely walks and stunning views. We’ll be back.

Lovely

The hotel was lovely staff were very friendly ans welcoming. The room was pretty small. Bathroom felt more like a cuboard really designed for bigger people. But for the price we paid for a couple nights and breakfast included it was perfect.

We booked at The Plough for a night while exploring the Surrey Hills. The welcome was warm and the staff super helpful and nice to talk to! The room was nicely decorated with good bed linens and high quality amenities. There was a little noise from the pub below during the evening but nothing to worry about and that stopped at closing time. This is a village pub but NOT a rowdy one! We dined in the restaurant on the evening and had breakfast the next day. All food was super tasty and good value. Do eat there if you're staying there as you will certainly enjoy the food! All in all a lovely stay and we would certainly consider visiting again.

If you're looking for a quirky chilled stay in the middle of nowhere, The Plough is the place for you. Unfortunately not what I was looking for on this trip. The positives - the food was excellent, the room was clean and quiet, and there's a micro-brewery on site. The negatives - the dinner service was chaotic, there was a drain smell in our bathroom and in the morning front-of-house was conducted by a woman on maternity leave carrying a baby! It was all a bit surreal for us!

A quaint and charming inn in a small village setting, a 4 mile drive south of Dorking (on a *very* narrow country lane in a dark forest setting). The room was small and tidy, but had unbearably slow internet, or none at all. Had to go to the pub to get a signal. Pub food was excellent, and the free breakfast outstanding. All in all a very nice place with a few shortcomings.
