What a fantastic little place

Having had a 3 hour drive down, we were greeted with a smile and two delightful rooms. Crisp linen and a smile. Food was fabulous (try the scotch eggs). Beer was good and the conversation was great. Will come back when visiting family. Fully booked for Sunday lunch so make sure you book if coming to stay. Judging by the 3 courses we had well worth booking

Saturday night in Coldharbour

Lovely Saturday night away up at Leith Hill. We arrived for a late lunch. We’d booked a double room for the night but when the staff saw our two Labradors - they gave us a much bigger room. Everyone was really friendly at the pub and the Plough is perfect for exploring the beautiful countryside around Coldharbour. The food was excellent and the service superb. Breakfast was really good. It feels really ‘different’ up there - lovely walks and stunning views. We’ll be back.

Great quirky pub with rooms in the Surrey hills. Cyclist paradise as we woke in the morning to hundreds stopping for a drink or refreshments. Only complaint that the pub closed early even for residents, however great homemade food.

Lovely

The hotel was lovely staff were very friendly ans welcoming. The room was pretty small. Bathroom felt more like a cuboard really designed for bigger people. But for the price we paid for a couple nights and breakfast included it was perfect.
