The Running Horses - A historic 16th-century inn with modern en-suite rooms and seasonal British dining

The Running Horses, a 3-star hotel, operates in a 16th-century coaching house that retains historical charm with six individually styled en-suite rooms. Each room features modern amenities such as Hypnos beds, Bramley toiletries, and luxury rain showers, with some offering views of the countryside. The on-site restaurant serves seasonal British cuisine, with locally sourced ingredients paired with a curated wine list. Guests can relax in the whiskey lounge, garden terrace with a fire pit, or explore nearby landmarks like Box Hill (2 km) and Norbury Park (3 km). The hotel allows well-behaved pets in the bar and front patio and provides easy access to Box Hill Train Station and regular bus routes to Dorking.

Pros

The historic 16th-century inn features individually designed rooms with luxury amenities like Hypnos beds and luxury rain showers.

The on-site restaurant serves locally sourced British cuisine accompanied by a curated wine selection.

Well-behaved pets are allowed in designated areas, including the bar and front patio.

Multiple nearby walking trails, including Box Hill and Denbies Wine Estate's public footpaths.

Easy access to public transport, with Box Hill Train Station within walking distance.

Cons

“The Running Horses offers a welcoming atmosphere, elevated by features like the open fire in the bar. The spacious, well-equipped rooms ensure comfort, complemented by excellent food and attentive staff. I think its location is perfect for exploring Box Hill and the surrounding area.”
