HOTELS IN SURREY

Unlike many UK counties, Surrey seems better known for its famous inhabitants and property prices than its attractions. Yet a short break in Surrey will soon reveal surprising facts about this 'stockbroker and rock star’ county.

Surrey overlaps with London, so that famous sites such as Richmond Palace lie in the county, along with great shopping destinations in Surrey such as Croydon. However, Surrey is also the most wooded county in the UK, so book a Surrey country hotel and you'll be enjoying beautiful countryside most people simply drive past.

County town Guildford rather sums up the whole Surrey feel; a pretty town with good shops, world-class theatre and restaurants, surrounded by great country walks. Guildford's landmark modern cathedral invites you to marvel, yet most people only glimpse it from the A3 bypass.
Surrey has so many fantastic gardens to visit from your Surrey hotel or guesthouse. Britain's rare plants are preserved at the RHS gardens at Wisley, and at the ever-innovative Kew Gardens too. Stay at a Guildford bed and breakfast to wander in the Jekyll-designed grounds of historic Hatchlands Park, or around the ornamental lakes at Busbridge.
Surrey can be as fast and furious as the residents' cars, especially at Mercedes Benz World near Weybridge! You can skate and bowl at the massive Guildford Spectrum complex, cheer on the odds-on favourite at Epsom racecourse, or scream along with the kids at Chessington World of Adventures. Whatever you choose to do on your short break in Surrey, there's always more to discover down that small country road...
