Overnight guests

While many traditional hotels allow guests to charge food and drink to their room, as a pub with rooms, we kindly ask guests to settle their food and drink bill at the time of purchase, either in the bar or restaurant. This simple approach means there’s nothing left to pay when you check out, making your departure quick, smooth, and stress-free. It also ensures complete clarity—so you can be confident that all charges are accurate and accounted for as you go.

We would be delighted to talk with you about a group booking for accommodation. Terms and conditions vary subject to the size of the group and as you’d expect, bookings are subject to availability. Please contact us at reservations.godalming@heartwoodinns.com

We kindly ask guests to check out by 11:00am on the day of departure, so we can prepare the rooms for new arrivals. If you’d like a little extra time, you can extend your stay until midday for £25. However, if you book directly with us, you’ll enjoy a complimentary late checkout until midday as part of our Book Direct Promise.

We will guarantee your room to be ready for arrival from 3.00pm, but if we can accommodate you earlier, we will, subject to availability. If you have booked directly, why not find out if your complimentary upgrade is available? Please note that this subject to availability so cannot be guaranteed.
