The Richard Onslow - A historic village inn with seasonal dining and characterful rooms near Guildford

Situated on Cranleigh's High Street, The Richard Onslow is a 3-star village inn featuring 10 characterful bedrooms with original fireplaces, exposed beams, and free Wi-Fi. Rooms include TVs with cable channels, iPod docking stations, and tea/coffee makers. The on-site pub serves seasonal dishes, such as grass-fed dry-aged steak and sustainably sourced fish, alongside well-kept ales and award-winning wines. A continental breakfast is available each morning at The Richard Onslow. The property is a five-minute walk from Cranleigh Art Centre, which hosts live bands and comedy events, and 40 km from London Gatwick Airport. Guests can unwind in the secluded courtyard or book private dining for events.

Pros

The historic inn features original architectural details, including fireplaces and low doorways.

Sustainably sourced ingredients, such as grass-fed beef and wild-caught fish, are central to the seasonal menu.

Proximity to Cranleigh Art Centre and Guildford's Green Flag Award-winning park provides leisure options.

Dog-friendly rooms and a secluded courtyard offer flexibility for guests with pets.

Cons

No spa or fitness facilities are available on-site.

Limited parking space may require off-site alternatives during peak visits.

“Rooms are dependably spotless and surprisingly generous, some even have lounge areas-a real find, compounded by genuinely friendly staff and effortless parking. The high street location puts everything at your doorstep, but the restful atmosphere makes it easy to forget the bustle; dinner and breakfast get high marks, too. A return visit feels inevitable.”
