Staff pleasant and helpful. Easy private parking. Good breakfast. Hotel in middle of village with easy access to all shops etc Only criticism is with room - 12. Twin. Very narrow single beds and dim lighting. Main light too low and caught head walking past - only a shade but seems silly to be so low. Also TV obstructs cupboard and is awkward to get past Would stay again but ask for different room

Super stay as a half way point from Wimbledon to the coast on bikes with kids. Excellent, spacious family room. Right on the Down’s link. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Lovely atmosphere on a sunny afternoon. Gastro pub, although we felt that the standard of the food could be improved a little. Overall though an enjoyable stay.

Confrotable stay at the Richard Onslow

A very comfortable 2 night stay, no major gripes at all - service and food was very good.Bar was quiet come bed time - some furniture could do with upgrading but thats a minor point given it was a great place to stay with easy access for Surrey Hills and South Downs.

Ticks all the boxes

Friendly staff, really large modern comfy warm room, excellent restaurant for dinner and breakfast. And it is a great, busy pub with a good selection of (proper) beers. Even the problem with a slow draining shower tray in the morning (reported and being dealt with) didn't dampen a really relaxing overnight stay. Will return next time we are anywhere in the area.

This is a very special property which combines olde world charm with modern comfort, and is one of those rare places that exceeds your expectations. Staff are friendly and welcoming and the bar and restaurant charming and the room we stayed very spacious and comfortable. There was a good selection of real ales and the food outstanding; both my husband and I describing meal and particularly our starter (independently) as exquisite! Our thanks to everyone and in particular Gavin the chef. The only point we could think of for improvement was the signage for the car park.

Firstly the bad, we had room 1 and the beds are so small it is difficult to feel secure. The room was freezing and we had to ask for an additional heater. The good ….. all of the staff without exception were friendly knowledgeable and took action when needed. The pub itself is one of our most favorite destinations, especially at this time of year. We have been coming for over 30 years when it wasn’t the Onslow but the Cranleigh pub We will come back but will be very reluctant to occupy room 1
