We really enjoyed our stay at Dormer Venn. The location is superb set amongst beautiful gardens with a great view of the lake. The flat itself was comfortable, clean to a high standard and in the perfect location to explore a wide variety of places in Surrey. The hosts (Louise) were most helpful and we loved meeting Bea the dog who welcomed and said goodbye to us most days including our last day and loved a good fuss! We would highly recommend Dormer Venn to any one we know wanting to visit Surrey and hope one day to visit again. ##### Terry C. Stayed 7 nights in May 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Pim A.

Een nespresso apparaat i.p.v. een caféterras zou wel handig zijn. Wat kleine problemen met de toilet gehad. Die werden uiteindelijk opgelost. We moesten een dag eerder weg.

Dec 14, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Comfortable stay We chose this property because it is near to where family lives. It was perfect for that. We stayed for 2+ weeks and the weather was quite cold and rainy during our stay. Sadly, we couldn't take much advantage of the walking trails in the Surrey area but we were warm and comfortable at the flat. We didn't cook but made breakfast and light dinners; the kitchen, albeit on 2 levels and down stairs, was fine. We did find the parking tricky as we are not used to manual transmission cars. I would advise renting a small car if you are staying here; between the multiple cars that are parked in the area one must park and the narrowness of the area, there is alot of forward and reverse to get out. We had an SUV, the only car available at Hertz when we arrived, and we did have some trouble getting out. A minor inconvenience. Louise was very helpful and prompt with answering our questions. Altogether a lovely stay. ##### Connie M. Stayed 17 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sue B.

Lovely apartment, good quality and comfortable furnishings. Everything you need to unwind and beautiful area. Only minor thing is that kitchen is on two levels and on ground floor. All prepared food and drinks are consumed upstairs. Once you get accustomed to it, it is okay. ##### John Sklenar Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter S.

I can’t speak highly enough of how much we enjoyed our stay. We had to do a quarantine after immigrating to England and we picked Dormer Venn to do it. I’m so glad we did because it was comfortable, clean and cozy. The time flew by! We especially enjoyed getting out into the garden and using the well supplied kitchen. I will be recommending it to friends and family when they come to visit ##### Fiona K. Stayed 11 nights in Jan 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marie B.

Aug 19, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Getaway After months of lockdown coupled with intense Zooming sessions for work we really needed a break. The very well equipped and clean flat provided a perfect base to both rest and walk from. A well-stocked bookcase providing plentiful reading. Set in beautiful gardens running down to a lake you can walk in multiple directions to discover, to mention just a few, quiet woodland tracks, the North Downs Way and a nearby village with well stocked shops and pub. The hosts are friendly and informative without being intrusive. So, in total, well recommended and we hope to return in the autumn for more lovely walking. ##### Jonathan W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa A.

Dec 18, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### We had a pleasant stay in Dorma Venn it was very cosy and comfortable. The kitchen was compact but well equipped however the steps behind the sink, fridge, cooker felt a little unsafe. The garden was absolutely beautiful and the view of the lake from the property was stunning. Louise was friendly and helpful and there is plenty of gorgeous countryside to explore. We were visiting family and friends so it was a perfect base for us to do that. Dorking is a beautiful town with lots of Antique and Boutique shops but also supermarkets and everything you could need for your shopping only a couple of minutes drive away. It only took 20 minutes to drive from Gatwick so also very convenient if you are flying in. All in all it was a wonderful place to stay. ##### Sarah H. ### 8/10 Good #### Diane L.
