We stayed at Wotton House for one night after the Brighton Marathon 2026, and it was a truly lovely experience. From the moment we arrived, Annalisa made us feel incredibly welcome — she was kind, attentive, and went out of her way to ensure our check-in was smooth and enjoyable. We had dinner, breakfast, and lunch at the restaurant, where Jose, the Supervisor, looked after us brilliantly. He took the time to show us the breakfast selection and made sure everything was perfectly arranged for a family meal we had planned. His attention to detail and genuine care really stood out. Jose is a true gem, and together with Annalisa, they made our stay extra special. We wouldn’t hesitate to return.

“Not just a wedding venue”

What a delightful place to get married, but we are already happily married. Makes for a great place to escape to for a couple of nights. Location good, with pleasant walk to the lake at Friday Street. Visited Denbies. Food ok to good. Special mention to ELLA in the restaurant with her great list… lisää

April 2026 My wife booked this for us on our anniversary weekend. We live in London and thought it would be great for a staycation. We took the train from London Waterloo, that goes directly to Dorking. From Dorking train station we took the local taxi (hard to get Uber) that charged us £18 to The Wotton House. It was a 15mins drive. Nestled into the green space, Wotton House is a secluded hotel. To go to the high street you would need a taxi. There is nothing at a walking distance. We checked in to the hotel at 3pm and got the room on the first floor. The room was nice but tiny. It was as small as a London hotel room. It was a straight room which is a bit boxy. The room had one window overlooking looking the garden. It's not much of a view because it's only first floor. There was a desk with a chair, an armchair and bed with side tables. There was a kettle with usual tea and coffee sachets. One cupboard with iron table and hair dryer but no room slippers. Bathroom was bright and new but there was no socket for hair dryer, so we had to use the desk side socket which was inconvenient. After the room check in, we went to take a stroll in the open area and it is maintained well and felt good to be out in the nice weather (we were lucky). They have a bar/restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating area and a fine dining restaurant called 1877. There is a single tennis court and a swimming pool. So after exploring the outdoor area we went to the bar restaurant for coffee. We ordered a latte, Americano and artisan bread (mix of breads). The latte my wife had was ok but Americano was horrible. It was extremely bitter. I asked the waitress to replace it and she was nice enough to get another one but unfortunately that was horrible too. I realised it was stale coffee. The bread platter was surprisingly delicious with the butter and olive oil. We sat for a bit and decided to go to the pool with our daughter. The children pool timing is only until 6pm. So the moment we entered the lower ground floor it had a strong smell of chlorine all the way up to the lift. We decided not to use it with our 16 months daughter and came back yo to the room. Around 8:45pm we went to the 1877 restaurant and the manager told us they are not taking any "booking". Why would we need to book??? No one told us at the time of check in. He suggested we check the bar for food. So we did and got to know that they also take the last order at 9pm. We only had limited choice (vegetarian). We ordered Margherita pizza and halloumi burger. The pizza was terrible and halloumi burger was salty. It was late and we had no other choice. We came back and slept in. The next morning we went out early in the morning and part of the outdoor space was blocked because they hold wedding events. They also had a "morning room" which was closed due to the event. The breakfast was served at the 1877 restaurant and again part of the seating was reserved for wedding guests. The breakfast was limited - Beans, eggs, veggies, breads, tea and coffee. It wasn't bad. We checked out at 11am which was fast. Overall, it was ok. Food was disappointing. Not a lot to do. Areas closed due to wedding event was restrictive. Would we ever go back again? Not at all Food: 1/5 Service: 2/5 Room: 3/5 Natural beauty/outdoor: 3/5 Activities:2/5
