The team and service was amazing! They even offered us a to go breakfast for a hike which was so lovely as we had to leave earlier than the breakfast time. Dinner was so good, a Turkish type mezze plate and even the flatbread was properly grilled. I highly recommend for a lovely relaxing weekend away! Oh and the shower was superb! :)

Top quality food. Steak & Ale pie to die for and excellent fish & chips. Great breakfast with quality produce. Brilliant selection of ales. Old fashioned English Inn with a lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Tidy room with a modern en-suite shower room. Bed not to our liking but that's very much a personal choice. In a very quiet location with no shops nearby but would recommend for an overnight stay.

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.

Quirky place to stay

The location of the hotel is stunning, with great views from the top of Leith. Very, very quiet surroundings. The room was comfortable but with repairs needed to furniture and equipment. Food was good quality but be prepared for a wait. An interesting stay!

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.

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.

4/10 Fair

The room was very noisy and the bed uncomfortably. The room was very small and bathroom tiny. The headboard was loose so I had to put a pillow behind it so as not to move during sleep. The food was tasty but limited breakfast although the manager di accommodate an early breakfast for us. Overall not the best stay but the manager did say he was just about to go into a re furbishment programme so best of luck to him

6/10 Good

Could have been cleaner (check toilet bowl), no t bags or spoon, kettle too big to fit under bathroom tap. A bright light outside the window on all night and a compressor noise all night. The worst thing was the outside metal stairs to get to the bedrooms, had it been raining I wouldn't have stayed. Food limited to what is offered on certain nights. The host was brilliant but his wife really shouldn't serve breakfast in her 'nightie'. Amazing location for walking and cycling.

6/10 Good

This was a mixed bag of a stay. The staff is very pleasant and the food at the inn really was excellent. The room itself seemed to have rather less attention to details. The entryway to the rooms was rather cluttered with linens laundry bags which remained throughout our stay, and only about half of the lights in the room worked, leaving it quite dim at all times. The staff noted to us the problem with the lights as we checked in but they seemed strangely uninterested in doing anything about it and this remained unaddressed. We also noted a bit of mold in the shower and ceiling in the bathroom which shouldn’t be tolerated. All in all this wasn’t a terrible stay, but if you have other options I would suggest considering those instead.
