Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The room was excellent with excellent en-suit facilities, just a small staircase and straight into the bar area. The evening meal was on the outside terrace ( very hot weather at the time) and was exceptional. The breakfast we had was full English and was very enjoyable. This was our second stay and we would definitively stay again.

A lovely place to stay. Comfy beds, excellent breakfast, great location
Nothing
Quirky room, with comfy beds. Lovely breakfast and 2 minutes from train to Gatwick. Very helpful staff, particularly Adriana.
It’s a great pub with a nice welcome. Food is great both evening meal and breakfast. Rooms are very comfortable and clean. Staff are lovely. And there were fans in our room that were perfect for a good nights sleep!!!!!
Lots of easy parking. Rooms were beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean. Staff were very efficient, attentive and friendly. Evening meal was excellent with a varied menu and fabulous Butcher's Block steaks. Breakfast was a little limited (no self service buffet) but what we ordered as excellent.
No self service buffet breakfast
Beautiful venue with great staff . Everyone of them had a smile or their faces and seemed eager to assist us in any way.
My only issue was the WiFi connection to the television in our room was awful and we couldn’t connect to any of the apps until I connect my own phones WiFi to the tv.
Suited our needs and rooms as actually lovely.
A little noisy but couldn’t be helped.
Second time staying here. Rooms are spacious and well decorated. Food is absolutely exceptional and the staff are fabulous.
Absolutely nothing.
Very huge room
Within touching distance of the train station. Beautiful location for walks and to visit Albury, Albury vineyards, Chilworth Manor and The Silent Pool Distillery. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. Big thank you to Lana who looked after us brilliantly on the Friday (she was off on the Saturday). Our bedroom was cleaned everyday and was comfortable and spacious. Really liked the complimentary bottles of water and Nespresso Machine and pods. Breakfast was just enough and we liked that we could choose the style of coffee we had eg flat white, cappuccino etc. We ate in the restaurant (on their beautiful outdoor terrace) and boy do they know how to cook a steak! Outstanding cuts of meat. The owners really care about ensuring you have a good time. We enjoyed it so much that we have already recommended it up our friends and family!
Nothing apart from the scorching heat wave meant that the rooms were unbearable to sleep in. Even though the property had done everything they could by providing 2 fans.
good kitchen
airco op de kamers
The breakfast was served very quickly and the food was lovely. All the staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
My stay was too short!
Friendly staff and comfortable, well appointed room. The two fans were very welcome.
A beautiful hotel, restaurant, pub, indoors and outdoors with a grilling area and a huge play zone for kids, a destination in itself for a full day out. If additionally a room is required for the night, the most exquisite rooms are available with quality furnishings and modern spotless bathrooms. The owners and staff were so friendly and accommodating during our stay, even preparing for a delicious breakfast for us, outside normal hours. I could go on but let me just say, a first class place to stay out to visit, highly recommended.
Nothing at all.
Location was excellent. Bang opposite the rail station and bus stop for Guildford. Staff were friendly and efficient. The room was sizeable amd had everything I needed.
The breakfast was very average. Not a lot of it i.e. very small quantities.
Lovely rooms, great choice of excellent food, good breakfast, lovely staff

Shelf above WHB in the bathroom
Très beaux bâtiments. La chambre est jolie et bien équipée. Les equipements sont de qualité et en bon état.
La chambre était chaude, il y avait des ventilateurs, dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de climatisation (période de canicule).
Great friendly staff

Sehr nette urige saubere Zimmer, nettes Personal, sehr nettes Restaurant/Bar/Grill
Der Preis könnte trotzdem etwas niedriger sein
Very spacious and unique room. Bath included in the main room with seperate shower/toilet etc. Vaulted ceiling was impressive. Food excellent including breakfast.
Unable to use TV as channels not setup.
What an amazing find. Way above expectations. We were greeted as we arrived and shown to our room. It was lovely. The bed and pillows were so comfortable. The bathroom was immaculate and the shower spacious with excellent water pressure. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The cocktails were fantastic. We stayed for 2 nights bed and breakfast as we were attending a nearby wedding. Our taxi was ordered for us and a number given to call for our return journey. We most definitely want to return. Having seen the mouth watering food being served we need to return to sample some of it.
Nothing
Alles, de kamer, het bedrag, de badkamer, alle faciliteiten. Supervriendelijk personeel. Schitterende ontbijt,... een fantastische ervaring.
Niets
Breakfast was very good with several options
The front bedroom is quit noisy from the main road traffic.
Just wonderful
Great hospitality from the owner from the time I checked in to the time I left
Good food menu. Friendly service
Minor issue with hot water. Not all rooms have baths
The warm welcome when you we arrived and being shown to our room
Breakfast was missing the additional touches
A good room with twin beds as requested. Everything was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was leisurely and excellent.
We don’t like waterfall showers as it’s so difficult to keep hair dry - but that would not put us off staying again
Wirklich alles! Tolle Lage, Ausstattung, sehr flexibles und freundliches Personal. 10 von 10!
Beautiful place and location, great food and beautiful spacious rooms.
Very kind staff Delicious and a wide variety of food
Nothing
I loved everything about this place. Staff, food, setting, fixtures and fittings, atmosphere, ample parking, huge comfortable clean and quiet rooms.
Leaving.
Lovely room with quirky decor. Comfy beds. Nice meal in the restaurant. Friendly staff.
A bit expensive. My pet hate is a rainfall shower. In this case shower was excessively powerful and seemingly no way to reduce the flow. Pumps out loads of cold water before you can get hot water. And it dripped all night.
We arrived early and had a delicious lunch out in the garden. Only negative was that we weren't given the option of the 2 course lunch deal. We were surprised at the size of the place given the roadside frontage. We came back from our day out and had a selection of the starters for dinner, again very tasty. The staff were very engaging, helpful and knowledgeable. Our room overlooked the road so we had to keep the windows closed but a useful fan was provided. We had eggs benedict and the eggs and smoked salmon for breakfast both of which were excellent. We will definitely recommend this pub with rooms and will hopefully be back soon.
Other than not being informed of the lunch offer everything was great
Heel comfortabel onderkomen. Fijne, ruime kamer. Goed (keuze)ontbijt en heel goede keuken voor het avondeten. Druk bezocht restaurant. Goede sfeer. Treinstation aan de overkant en bushalte voor de deur.
Kan niets bedenken
Nice room, very clean and well maintained. Breakfast was good value and the staff are friendly and helpful. Restaurant and bar is reasonably priced but we realised after leaving that we were overcharged for a meal for four.
Great breakfast, comfy bed, well decorated room and good access to surrounding areas. We also enjoyed the Sunday carvery which was very reasonably priced, large portion sizes and high quality food. Would certainly recommend The Percy Arms.
We didn't really have any complaints to be honest! Had a nice stay and would come back.
Très bon accueil.Petsonnel sympathique. Ambiance détendue. Chambre spacieuse et salle de bain lumineuse.
Lors du dîner, aucun dessert n'a été proposé malgré notre présence et surtout notre attente prolongées...
Was a little hesitant when making the original booking but on arrival the staff couldn't have been more helpful. The room was absolutely first rate couldn't fault it at all
Nothing
Restaurant in the evening Hopitality
The accommodation and food was amazing
Wifi was dropping out a bit but this was at peak times so unavoidable without further investment in wireless access points
Very warm and hospitable staff
Ein alter Dorf-Inn in Chilworth, etwa eine Autoviertelstunde von Guildford (außer am Freitagnachmittag, da ist alles verstopft, entsprechend länger dauert es dann). Lage ziemlich ruhig, gelegentlich braust ein Zug vorbei, und Autos fahren natürlich auch. Sehr freundlicher Empfang. Großes, verwinkeltes Zimmer mit recht großem Badezimmer. Alles etwas altertümlich, aber das ist ja nicht überraschend, und es ist trotzdem gut. Könnte sein, dass es im Sommer bei großer Wärme unangenehm im Zimmer wird. Wir waren an einem ziemlich warmen Tag da, da ging es noch. Mehr wäre aber auch unangenehm gewesen. Im Pub/Restaurant haben wir gut gegessen und gefrühstückt; man sitzt auf einer schönen Terrasse mit Blick ins Grüne.
Apropos Frühstück: Was man möchte, ist am Vorabend zu bestellen. Das gefällt nicht allen; uns hat es nicht gestört. Wir hatten gefragt, ob wir etwas früher als 9 Uhr frühstücken könnten (das Angebot war auf dem Bestellzettel vermerkt); man hat sich dann auf 8.45 Uhr eingelassen, allerdings haben wir bis zum eigentlichen Frühstück dann doch auch fast eine halbe Stunde am Tisch gewartet. Nicht wild, aber auch nicht optimal.
The food in the restaurant is excellent and the staff extremely friendly and professional. Breakfast in the garden was lovely.
Mooie kamer boven de pub. Heerlijke bedden. Goede dyson ventilator. Groot restaurant erbij met heerlijk eten. Ontbijt was a la carte
Er was niets te doen rondom het hotel wat voor ons prima was maar als je wat activiteiten wil dan is hier niets
Everything to be honest I stop here whenever I get the chance
That I had to leave
Lovely country pub, great restaurant beautiful new seating area outside
It was excellent
Nothing
comfortable well equipped and clean room and a great breakfast
Good customer service and welcoming and polite
Nothing all god
Lovely interior design, large comfy bed . Nice restaurant . Staff excellent !
Room was above kitchen and extract was a little noisy
Very helpful staff.
Loved the room, so spacious, clean and comfortable.
Check out is quite early. 10am is barely enough time to wake up and have breakfast if you're enjoying a romantic night away or making use of the pub the night before!
Very nice, sadly luke warm shower first morning
The food could have hotter
Small but stylish a very comfy Helpful staff, good food, great breakfast Appreciated the coffee machine
Nothing
Staff, food and the pleasant country feel.
All good.
we have visited this place for just dinning many times.first time stayed in the hotel and was beautiful!breakfast was so delicious and their steak for dinner,loved all...thank you so much.
nothing,maybe biscuit with tea?
Clean, good size comfortable bedroom, nicely decorated, nice pub and restaurant, and very good breakfast. Very accommodating and friendly staff.
Everything was good. Would have liked an elevator to second floor. It was tricky getting in and out of shower because of step down.
Mooie ruime kamer, vriendelijk personeel en prima ontbijt

The hotel is situated across from the train station, so it is easy to get into Guildford. There is a parking lot free for guests. The room was charming, there was even a window seat, and the bathroom had plenty of space to put your toiletries. We ate in the restaurant, both dinner and breakfast. Everything was good. Staff also very kind.
My partner lost his wallet there, which is still a mystery, but I can't blame the hotel.
Het hotel lag op een leuke locatie, de kamer was netjes en het ontbijt was goed. S'avonds heerlijk gegeten in het restaurant.
Niets
Staff were excellent. The food was good but fairly expensive. Breakfast was different as everything was ordered off a menu. There were no buffet options, which is unusual these days. The whole hotel/pub had a South African flavour which was really nice
Radiators in the bedroom didn't work.
It's not often I give anywhere such high scores because so few places deserve it, but the Percy Arms is a notable exception. We stayed only one night at the Percy Arms to attend a dinner event at the Silent Pool gin distillery, but will definitely return because it has so much to offer. From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed and looked after. The staff are wonderful, nothing is too much trouble, and the owner is chatty and friendly. We genuinely felt like valued guests - not just another couple paying to sleep in a room. I would 100% recommend the Percy Arms to anyone wanting to explore the Surrey Hills area and local villages.
Possibly the only minor irritation for my wife was the poor light level in the bathroom as the illuminated mirror doesn't work (we forgot to mention it), but it's a small detail.
A variety of rooms, we used all 5 for a small group celebration. Rooms are comfortably furnished and well appointed. Great beds ensure a good nights rest.
Rooms located above the pub/restaurant. Access in and out is restricted to emergency escape route outside of business hours.
Food was excellent
Leaving
Excellent parking. Excellent and friendly staff on arrival. A big nice room and bathroom. Big built in wardrobe with only TWO hangers and one shelf, (no draws) Bedding clean and fresh, comfortable bed. Poor lighting in bathroom, mirror light not working and a bulb not working. Pre-order breakfast the night before.... Breakfast was good quality but not much of it ie 1 bacon, 2 eggs, ¾ of a mushroom, 1 sausage, beans, and ½ of tomato.
.
Warm and welcoming Inn. Great welcome from the gentleman member of staff
Shower water could have been warmer. Breakfast from 7.00am would have suited me more as working locally with an 8.00am start made a 7.39am breakfast a bit of a rush.
Nous avons aimé le charme de l’établissement, notre chambre très confortable et le dîner avec un services très souriant
The room was outstanding, especially with the very luxurious free standing bath. The food was excellent. The sharing board of South African delights was delicious and very filling, but lovely trying authentic food. The steak as a main wowed us!
Great atmosphere, lovely food, comfortable room and bed, friendly staff
The room was lovely, the bathroom was lovely and it was quiet and warm. The staff were amazing after a difficult start due to a car problem (of you need to cancel, you will need to take it up with booking.com and don't believe the first reply you receive from booking.com saying the vendor has refused - this wasn't the case at all and I'm now disappointed in booking.com!)... The breakfast was great, we would have preferred 8am start over 9am at weekends. We really enjoyed a gorgeous walk around vineyards and farm animals exploring the Surrey hills at 7am instead!
The menu for dinner wasn't quite to our needs unfortunately, but that didn't matter as we went out exploring and found an amazing American/western themed restaurant!
Free parking which is always a bonus nowadays. Friendly staff on arrival. Room was spacious and clean and tidy. Bed was large and very comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and had a good shower. Had dinner and breakfast all of which was a good choice and well prepared.
Nothing really as served the purpose for my one night stay.
Just fine
Helpful and friendly staff. Excellent food and service. Great location.
Staff were very helpful. Food (dinner and breakfast) was great. The room was spacious with a large comfortable bed. We liked the South African theme in the pub. Plenty of spaces in the car park.
The only negative would be the shower. It wasn't hot and lacked pressure for my liking.
Dinner on Tuesday evening was fantastic. Steak Night was first class, excellent value and nearly the best steak I've ever eaten. Breakfast good quality from a decent range of options. No cereals or juice but i'm OK with that
Was not looking to find fault but if I was I would not have found anything. Opposite railway level crossing but was not bothered by that at all.
Lovely, spacious room. Excellent bathroom, very happy.
Rattling extractor fan in the bathroom but a tap with a coathanger silenced it.
Warm welcome, warm room, comfortable bed, interesting breakfast with a South African option.
The staff were very friendly, accommodating & helpful - The room was very well presented, clean & comfy - The breakfast was fantastic, each item was of high quality and very tasty
Nothing
Well appointed room. Excellent food.
Some noise from the rail line close by and also from the kitchen below.
A good location for walking and a good bus service connecting the surrounding villages & countryside & nearby Guildford
No cereal choice for breakfast
Location fine, breakfast good.
Little breakfast choice. Cold shower initially on first morning. Missing plug in sink
It’s boutique and cosy feel - our room was gorgeous! Amazing Staff Incredible food Beautiful location for long walks
Nothing!
Lovely staff, great food
Earlier breakfast on Sunday although the bacon sandwich was good
Quaint Inn in a small English village, good access to tourist attractions. Awesome staff. Marius and Jess at bar were always friendly and helpful . Aryana our housekeeper was fabulous and Alfie was a great host who accommodated our every need .
Nothing comes to mind .
A well furnished, spacious room and good en suite. Comfortable bed. Good breakfast.
Although it was warm when I arrived the radiator went cold around 10pm and didn’t come on again until around 8.15am. The temperature in the room dropped v quickly and I was cold during the night. It is an old building and probably doesn’t have good insulation.
