Stayed here after a local wedding. On the oustide it all looks quite promising, but the reception is shabby as are the public rooms. Our bedroom was a good size but dark and dingy (too much greenery in the garden blocking out any light) the bathroom clean-ish but in desperate need of modernisation. The bed was uncomfortable and the smallest... more

I would not recommend this hotel to my worst enemy. A group of us stayed there for 2 nights in June 2009 for a wedding and we were very unsatisfied by the standard of accommodation and level of service received. The outside of the hotel looks an acceptable standard as does the entrance and breakfast room, but when we got... more

We booked the Bishops Table for a Saturday night stay end of May for a friends' wedding nearby. The website promises a boutique hotel, with lovely photos and a modern, chic look to the hotel and bedrooms....sadly the reality is tired, small rooms just large enough for a double bed, a window that didn't close (so no security in a... more

Great Staff, clean& crisp rooms & lovely garden. I highly recommend this hotel not only for corporate business people but also for couples . you will not realise the garden and space in the back of the hotel which is very very relaxing.Overall I had a wonderful time and with the kind of staff they have with some updating they... more

The Bishops Table is very central in Farnham and the well worn phrase ''Parking a bit of a problem'' certainly applies here. There is no designated hotel parking and they rely on the nearby library to allow guests to use about 5 spaces after the library closes and before it opens the next day. The hotel is smart, rooms of... more

After looking at numerous hotels in the area on the internet, the Bishop's Table looked like the best value for money. Their website is great, but quite a bit removed from what the hotel actually is like. I booked by phone, and was impressed with the friendly customer service. Upon arrival we were able to check in early which was... more

Thought I'd point out that this hotel is in Farnham, Surrey, not Dorset ! There are a few towns called Farnham in England but this is the main one and this hotel is definitely in Surrey. Farnham is a lovely, Georgian market town with great shops and plenty of good pubs. Haven't stayed at the Bishop's Table overnight but restaurant... more

We had a lovely stay here. I had heard that the hotel recently changed hands and the new owners have really made a huge difference. The staff are really helpful and friendly, and there's just a really nice atmosphere to the place. We had a room overlooking the garden, which must be wonderful to sit in enjoying a drink on... more

I thought that this hotel needed a bit of TLC, some of the furniture and bedding were past there best. Also the bathroom accessories looked as though they had come from the $2 shop. The cleanliness was not very good either. The hotel dining room though was extremely clean and the service was very good. more
