Lovely twin room overlooking the garden, quiet and peaceful. We could use the garden which had a lovely pond with gently running water to add to the atmosphere. Great location, near to all amenities, lovely quiet walks nearby.

This B&B is absolutely lovely, Quiet location but at the same time within a couple of minutes from the High Street. Walk in the other direction and you are quickly in the countryside. the rooms are well maintained and very clean and tidy, as is the whole house. Breakfast is served at the kitchen table and the landlady is a joy to be with. Would recommend this place over all the other places I've stayed in the town.

I spent a wonderful time at the Chart House, what a lovely place to stay away from home. Jill made my stay most enjoyable, everything is very clean und comfortable. I stayed in a room with garden-view which I much appreciated. Next visit in Dorking will be Chart House again, for sure.

First and foremost I would like to publicly thank Jill the proprietor of this awesome guest house for all her efforts in making my stay as welcoming and comfortable as I could possibly experience - it far exceeded my expectations. This Lady goes beyond the call of duty in my opinion to ensure your stay is more than satisfactory. Apart from the beautiful scenery and immaculate cleanliness throughout a most enjoyable cooked breakfast is on offer here should you wish for one. Continental breakfast 🥞 is also selective with a warm friendly home environment at breakfast time. Jill’s manners are impeccable and the fact that I arrived much later in the evening than scheduled I was still accommodated and checked into my room with help and ease. A true professional. I would certainly have no hesitation in returning. Therefore I rate my stay with a 5 star ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ plus ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.…

I stayed at Chart House for one night on business. I received a warm, friendly welcome and the room was excellent, absolutely spotless and the bed really comfy. Next morning, I received a fabulous cooked breakfast. If I have to stay in the area again, I won't hesitate to book Chart House.

I stayed at Chart House in June 2019 for a week, and despite life being very hectic since my return to Australia after my 6 weeks UK visit, I have been determined to write a Chart House review. I endorse the other Reviews about the cleanliness, the beautiful large garden and much else that was positive. After massive preparations for my trip to the UK, leaving some family behind in Australia; and the considerable flight between Sydney & UK, I arrived at Chart House absolutely exhausted. In fact, I was ready to get on the first plane back with no energy for this UK trip, specifically made for a family event. I booked the large bedroom with sink and shared bathroom; and it cheered me no end to settle down into this charming, airy, big room with small windows out to the expansive, well cared for garden. I found myself in a spacious, very pleasant environment after hours in an airplane; and had avoided the prospect of busy, noisy, complicated London. The first afternoon I fell fast asleep for hours, in the TV room, oblivious of the TV blaring (Did Have trouble getting my TV to operate.). In fact during my week's stay I did sleep a lot, interspersed with trips by train up to London to meet family for outings. I truly enjoyed chats each morning around the breakfast table, meeting others from various parts of the world, but respect given to those who were disinclined to breakfast chatter. I was not an enthusiastic traveller, but my time with Jill at Chart House was ideal, to help me recuperate from the efforts actually to make it to UK; adjust to the reality that I was absent from my Sydney home comforts, but my time at Chart House was enormously comfortable and pleasant. I felt guilty that I was not being a good tourist, out making the most of the special Dorking area, but just enjoying my time at Chart House and wondering around the area from there. One day I woke up and felt so guilty that I was not being an earnest tourist, but still so tired, I stood in my socks on the entry mat outside the front door and said to myself, "I've achieved an outing for today and now I can go back to bed!" However, as I stood there, a woman drove in and it turned out that she was there to feed the animals. I asked, "Can I accompany you and help in any way?" "Sure" she replied, and provided me with Wellington boots. I then spent a couple of hours helping to feed the animals and weeding nuisance plants for the animals. I felt I earned genuine status as a 'Brit', truly eligible to attend the Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival, the next week with the RHS membership I had previously obtained. Thank you, Jill, for all your efforts in providing this special B&B establishment. Elizabeth…

Stayed here for a short break in May while visiting family in the area. It was such a lovely place. Great rooms, great house, and brimming with comfort and character. Spotlessly clean throughout, great breakfast, great bedrooms, great house and wonderful hosts (friendly, relaxed, flexible, and respectful of privacy too). As if that all wasn't enough it's in a beautiful setting in a sheltered valley, with the most amazing garden, with chickens, and Alpacas (great for the kids). And if you want a cherry on top of your cake, it also has a good quality tennis court in the grounds, and is a very pleasant and safe 5 to 10 min walk into town. I'll be going back again and again to this gem of a place. Perfect. 10 stars!

Lovely fresh feel to a nice sized single room. Handy full bathroom directly opposite my room. Breakfast served just off the main kitchen with a view of the garden. WiFi available. Everything was immaculate. Huge house and such an amazing garden which I was encouraged to visit. Alpacas, ponies and chickens just beyond the garden. Lovely friendly lady host was so helpful with directions and sorting maps etc. A 5 minute stroll to Dorking town Centre. Close to the new Deepdene Trail.
