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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tania Jun 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Romantic getaway Really lovely relaxing pub with pretty rooms and an excellent restaurant. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/EC9021249D143CBCFF514D8C1A5DCF09A959D3AD1717263948907.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/95E3ADD10371602C628DB695C7B0E62D412B65431717263950402.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Tania Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dean Nov 15, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great pub, lovely food and accommodation.

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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharon Jul 5, 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Raymond Sep 23, 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 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alexander Nov 12, 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandeep Aug 28, 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natalie Feb 6, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Charming little pub with lots of cool original features. Large bedroom and a comfortable bed. Everything works really well. Now, the food at this place is honestly on another level. I have never had any food inside a pub this good. This pub is well known for serving up some of the best food. Locals are highly complimentary about the dining experience here. ##### Natalie Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2026 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [The Rest and Be Thankful Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Minehead-Hotels-The-Rest-And-Be-Thankful-Inn.h7426376.Hotel-Information) > - [3 bedroom accommodation in Holywell Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Newquay-Hotels-3-Bedroom-Accommodation-In-Holywell-Bay.h99846947.Hotel-Information) > - [Ferns Farm Hotel & Palms Leisure Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Bridlington-Hotels-Ferns-Farm-Hotel-Palms-Leisure-Club.h30316058.Hotel-Information) > - [Kings Head Hotel by Greene King Inns](https://www.expedia.ca/Norwich-Hotels-Kings-Head-Hotel-By-Greene-King-Inns.h10414421.Hotel-Information) > - [Red Lion Todwick by Chef and Brewer Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Sheffield-Hotels-Red-Lion-Todwick-By-Greene-King-Inns.h2621699.Hotel-Information) > - [YHA Malham - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Skipton-Hotels-YHA-Malham-Hostel.h11535933.Hotel-Information) > - [The Castle Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Harrogate-Hotels-The-Castle-Inn.h22881785.Hotel-Information) > - [Ocean Blue](https://www.expedia.ca/Truro-Hotels-Ocean-Blue.h30994563.Hotel-Information) > - [Luxury Beach House Rental with Hot Tub, 30 meters to Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Looe-Hotels-Luxury-Beach-House-Rental-With-Hot-Tub.h27313935.Hotel-Information) > - [Stilworth House](https://www.expedia.ca/York-Hotels-Stilworth-House.h33900336.Hotel-Information) > - [Wheal Tor](https://www.expedia.ca/Liskeard-Hotels-Wheal-Tor.h901037.Hotel-Information) > - [Ye Olde Bell Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Retford-Hotels-Ye-Olde-Bell-Hotel-Spa.h867431.Hotel-Information) > - [Haselbury Mill Hotel and Restaurant](https://www.expedia.ca/Crewkerne-Hotels-Haselbury-Mill-Hotel-And-Restaurant.h6438671.Hotel-Information) > - [Old Corn Mill - UKC3170](https://www.expedia.ca/Halesworth-Hotels-Discover-The-Delights-Of-Suffolk-With-Beautiful-Countryside.h32913431.Hotel-Information) > - [Cosy Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Northallerton-Hotels-Cosy-Cottage.h31001064.Hotel-Information) > - [OYO The Leven](https://www.expedia.ca/Middlesbrough-Hotels-OYO-The-Leven.h16573899.Hotel-Information) > - [Mary's Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Ilfracombe-Hotels-Marys-Cottage.h26996795.Hotel-Information) > - [Drapers Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Colchester-Hotels-Drapers-Hotel.h22454758.Hotel-Information) > - [Mulberry House](https://www.expedia.ca/Ongar-Hotels-Mulberry-House.h32774406.Hotel-Information) > - [The Bull Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Bourne-Hotels-Bull-Inn.h43984884.Hotel-Information) > - [Cliveden House](https://www.expedia.ca/Maidenhead-Hotels-Cliveden.h518646.Hotel-Information) > - [Hex Wildlife Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Doncaster-Hotels-Hex-Hotel.h74151245.Hotel-Information) > - [The Feathered Nest Country Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-The-Feathered-Nest.h44085381.Hotel-Information) > - [The Queens Arms Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Hexham-Hotels-The-Queens-Arms-Hotel.h29476804.Hotel-Information) > - [Hookwood Lodge London Gatwick](https://www.expedia.ca/Horley-Hotels-Hookwood-Lodge.h20846189.Hotel-Information) > - [Stonehenge Courtyard](https://www.expedia.ca/Stonehenge-Courtyard.h97558122.Hotel-Information) > - [Whittonlodge B&B & Holiday let](https://www.expedia.ca/Chesterfield-Hotels-Whitton-Lodge.h102157615.Hotel-Information) > - [Cowley Manor Experimental](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-Cowley-Manor.h1662540.Hotel-Information) > - [The George Hotel Easingwold](https://www.expedia.ca/York-Hotels-The-George-At-Easingwold.h4001926.Hotel-Information)
