The Running Horses

We absolutely loved the accommodation (selected as a stop off near Box Hill on our Pilgrim's Way walk- there are regular buses to the accommodation from opposite the Stepping Stones pub, Box Hill). We had a lovely room with a view of the church - such an idylic village and accommodation, we were quite bowled over! Food was great in the evening too. Very helpful and friendly hosts. We are looking forward to visiting again. Staying here was a highlight of our holiday.

I got a great rate for the Hotel through Booking.com, and it was straight forward to find the property, which is in a hamlet close to Leatherhead. There is no car park, but we easily found a place to park on the street outside. We got a very warm welcome from the staff and locals in the bar, which was appreciated. The Inn is a very old property, bustling with traditional character and history. The room was immaculate and had everything we needed, including a very good coffee machine a very comfortable bed. I was a little concerned due to the freezing conditions outside, but the room was nice and warm. We had dinner in the bar by the roaring open fire, and the food was excellent. I had a Wild Boar terrine followed by a Cod Loin, and my wife had a steak, we really enjoyed the meal and service.

The welcome from the staff was amazing the room was beautiful with lots of fresh air and natural light with gorgeous furnishings. Dinner was wonderful and the breaksfast was great too.

Location was great, room was lovely, staff super friendly especially the Italian waiter and waitress, so nice and cheerful and accommodating. Room was fairly quiet and very comfy we slept really well. Food is good.

We selected The Running Horses for our stay primarily because of its long history--over 400 years--as an inn. It was a great experience from start to finish. The facility was wonderful, authentic, and run like clockwork. It was only on our last day that we learned the inn is the 2023 winner of the National Pub & Bar of the Year Awards, and it shows from the professional staff, to the delicious and locally-sourced food and drink, and especially the welcoming atmosphere. Hopefully, we can return for another visit!
