The Plough Inn in Dorking, England

The Plough Inn operates its own microbrewery on site, producing craft beers such as the house-brewed lager available at the bar. The seasonal menu uses locally sourced produce, including organic vegetables grown in the hotel's own garden. Full English breakfast is served each morning, and dinner options range from steak and ale pie to grilled sea bass.

Each of the 6 en-suite rooms is individually styled and includes a TV and tea and coffee facilities. Complimentary toiletries are provided in the shower, and some rooms feature a roll-top bath. The small double room is suited for solo travellers or couples seeking a quiet base after walks.

The hotel sits in acres of National Trust woodland, 4 miles from Dorking and a short walk from Leith Hill Tower. Denbies Vineyard, Box Hill and Bocketts Farm Park are within 20 minutes' drive. Guests can join walking trails, mountain biking routes and golf courses directly from the property.

Board games, puzzles and outdoor play equipment are available for children, and the pub welcomes dogs with pet bowls, treats at the bar and a resident Great Dane. The hotel can cater for various dietary requirements, including gluten-free options with a dedicated fryer. Families can book the larger family room with space for two Labradors.

A farm shop attached to the pub sells homemade pasties, local honey, coffee and other produce for hikers and cyclists. The bar hosts darts, and communal jigsaw puzzles are provided for guests in the evening. The microbrewery's ales are available for tasting directly from the taproom.
