The White Horse

Dorking is a historic market town nestled in the Surrey Hills and the hotel has played a key role in the history of the town. Enviably positioned in the heart of the mediaeval high street and on the edge of the Surrey Hills Area Of Natural Beauty, The White Horse is a characteristic 13th Century inn that has held a special place at the heart of the local community for many years. A stones throw from the artisanal West Street, town museum and heritage centre, this popular pub with rooms is perfectly located to explore the highly acclaimed Denbies Wine Estate, breathtaking Box Hill and the plethora of independent businesses and antique shops that Dorking has to offer.

The White Horse oozes character and charm. Considered one of Englands oldest coaching inns and believed to be where Dickens wrote his first novel, the Pickwick Papers, the beautiful Grade II-listed pub features charming oak beamed ceilings, a roaring fireplace, a cosy local bar, fabulous dining area, outside terrace and 56 characterful bedrooms spread across 2 floors.

The White Horse is part of Heartwood Collection, an award-winning collection of cosy pubs and atmospheric brasseries at the heart of their local communities serving great fresh seasonal food. With Raymond Blanc as Chef Patron you can be assured that sustainability and locality underpin everything we do. The Group has been awarded a top three-star rating under the Food Made Good Standard from The Sustainable Restaurant Association and Best Food-Led Pub Group by Restaurant Magazine.
