The Lodge

The Lodge is a single-storey detached property on the edge of Dorking, built with simplicity and comfort in mind. Everything you need sits on the ground floor: a double bedroom, a bathroom with bath and shower, a kitchen equipped to cook proper meals, and a living room with a smart TV. Bed linen and towels are provided, along with heating, hot water and Wi-Fi. One car can park off the road, and there is a back garden with seating. No smoking indoors.

Dorking itself offers independent cafés, pubs and shops within walking distance, while the River Mole's footpaths lead through leafy country on the town's edge. The Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty starts nearby, opening onto rolling chalk landscape, woodland and viewpoints for walkers and cyclists. Box Hill, Reigate and Polesden Lacey are all reachable by car for day trips. If you need the city, Dorking's rail connections reach London; Brighton is equally accessible to the south.

The property suits couples or two friends wanting their own space without fuss. One well-behaved dog can stay free. Check in is after 3pm and checkout before 10am.
