We found the room tired, unimaginative and drab. Simple additions like another towel rail in the bathroom would have been handy; bed was adequate but not very comfortable. Bed head was extremely grubby and overall felt the room had a neglected feel. Agree with the comment about the lighting and mirror. No complaints about the actual food we had in... More

I have just returned from a meal at the Inn on the Lake and I have to say the quality of the meals me and my partner had has slipped dramatically, since our last visit a few months ago. During that last visit by the way, we were made to feel bad for asking if they sold cheesy chips which... More

We picked this hotel down to location. Godalming is only a 5 minute was away and had plenty of boutique shops and restaurants. The devils punch bowl is a 10 minute drive and well worth a visit. The hotel itself is situated just outside of Godalming town centre and is easily accessible. With friendly and knowledgable staff, both on the... More

Dear Lewis in London, Thank you for you feedback with regards to your recent stay. We at the Inn work extremely hard to maintain standards, obviously the pub noise and impact of guest staying within the hotel are beyond our control, though we do try to manage the situation as best we can. Thanks again for the positive and constructive... More

Overall a pleasant stay, plus points include nice decor in the room and restaurant, nice large shower and comfy bedding. The staff were also friendly, and it was handy to have parking right outside the inn. However, the lighting in the room was not good for women, the shadows from the lighting meant putting make up on was very difficult,... More

Have stayed at this hotel 3 times now and have always been satisfied. I think the value for money is excellent considering it is Surrey. Very clean with very helpful staff and our room was extremely warm and cosy. People complain about noise, slamming doors etc, well that really is not the fault of the hotel, they cannot control the... More

We stayed at the Inn on the Lake 10th March for 2 nights. The room was lovely, clean and airy and warm (it was snowing outside!). Gorgeous stone effect bathroom. We ate in the restaurant for 2 nights, the second night was a family party and we had a great time - the food was fabulous and the service attentive.... More

To check in we had to go and search out someone from the kitchens- once we found her we were dealt with efficiently. I was filled with dread as i walked through the hall to our room- it definitely had a pub like smell to it, however all that disappeared once in our room. The room was furnished in a... More

We thought it would be a good idea to stay the night after a family birthday party as we came from Kent. I have to say that we enjoyed the experience. The staff were very good and nothing was any trouble even though they were extremely busy. The room was excellent with a view over the lake, and very comfortable.... More

Stayed at the Inn on the Lake for 3 nights, which varied from night to night (admittedly a lot to do with other guests, over which the hotel has no control). When you enter, check-in is marked at one end of the bar, but unfortunately staff serving at the other end of the bar can't see it. I had to... More
