Set just outside Guildford in the Heart of the Outstandingly Beautiful Surrey Hills, yet only 55 minutes from central London and close to the M25, this hotel is located in Idyllic surroundings and is near to many attractions. The Hurtwood Inn Hotel, standing in the heart of 'the Perfect English Village' of Peaslake since 1920 is located in absolutely beautiful surroundings and is ideally placed for guests to be able to explore many attractions like Vineyards, National Trust properties and the historic city of Guildford or take the short drive to Central London. Originally built on the site of 2 cottages so the locals 'had somewhere to buy beer', the hotel takes its name from the 'Whortleberries' or 'Hurts' which grow locally in the Village on nearby Pitch hill, the site of one of the village's Scenic walks.
