The room was decorated in keeping with the old building but everything felt new and clean.

There was no lift to the rooms. The staff did offer to carry my bag up to my room but I declined as they did not point our there was not a lift.

Comfortable and enjoyable stay
Pros:

Location was good for bus and train journeys. Excellent staff in all departments and a very welcoming and comfortable environment to stay in. Lunch and evening meals were good although slightly expensive

Cons:

The only very small gripe was that the room tea / coffee facilities weren’t replenished if you chose to go with a ‘green’ option and not have the rim cleaned every day.

I slept well, and enjoyed the food.
Pros:

Very convenient location, comfortable bed, nice feeling in the room

Fantastic - definitely recommend and would go back.
Pros:

Hotel was a perfect location in the centre of Godalming. Our room was panelled with a fireplace and oozing character and history. Staff were outstanding in accommodating us, given my husband has poor mobility and needs to park close to where he is going.

Cons:

Nothing really
