An absolutely fabulous setting. It looks just like the pictures and was perfect for our relaxing stay before attending a wedding. Catherine was the perfect hostess, very welcoming and friendly. The breakfast in the morning was a spread fit for a King! Would definitely recommend to anyone.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Catherine and her incredible log cabin! I stayed for 3 nights but, if my schedule allowed, I would have loved to have stayed much longer. From the moment we began correspondence, she welcomed me warmly and made the reservation process very simple (even though I was only able to book with her on the night before my arrival). Catherine picked me up from the train station in Dorking, generously provided transport throughout my stay and even helped to put my luggage on the train at my departure. She took the time to to show me the outstanding beauty of the Surrey Hills, the quaint downtown shops in neighboring villages and we spent a wonderful evening having dinner together at the Surrey Oaks. She welcomed me into her home like an old friend, and she went above and beyond during every moment of my stay. Catherine embodies the definition of a Super Host. The outstanding features of Catherine’s log cabin and surrounding property include the French doors that allow you to enjoy the incredible luxury of the log cabin’s interior and the breeze, sunlight and sounds of nature outside at the same time. The cabin is very well-equipped with everything that you might need during your stay in Surrey, and her breakfast is superb – generously and thoughtfully prepared with fresh, local ingredients. There is a beautiful swing set nestled into the trees just across from the cabin that is a delight for children and adults alike; and Catherine’s two dogs and pig named Elvis were wonderful to have around, keeping me company when I wanted it and making me laugh throughout my stay. I feel so truly fortunate to have had this time with Catherine and her luxury log cabin. If you have a chance to stay here, do it! I cannot imagine calling anywhere else home while visiting the Surrey Hills.

Catherine exceeded our expectations in every way. The cabin was pristine and the breakfast was delicious. Couldn't have pictured a better place to relax before catching my flight in Gatwick airport.

Wonderful room that is cozy and beautifully decorated. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The breakfasts were delicious and Catherine was a lovely host. Highly recommend this stay- also located close by Gatwick Airport allowing for easy travel to and from the airport.

The log cabin is beautifully set up. Very comfortable and relaxing. High quality all round. Spotlessly clean. Quiet. Catherine provides all sorts of little touches to make it welcoming with drinks, snacks, fruit etc. Was lovely to be able to be able to make a cup of tea when we arrived after a long journey while we unpacked. The breakfasts were all delicious with choice of hot or cold and served in the cabin whenever we wanted. I would certainly recommend staying here. We had a super long weekend. Thank you Catherine.

Catherine was a wonderful and welcoming host, the directions she gave to the place were really helpful and the property is located in a lovely, peaceful setting in the Surrey countryside. The cabin itself is exactly as the pictures show, the perfect size for two. There are some great fixtures and tasteful little extras; the Bayliss and Harding toiletries provided were a nice touch and the breakfast brought by Catherine the next day was delicious! We found we had everything we needed for an overnight stay and could happily have stayed longer. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend!

Accurate description and nice place.

We had a fantastic stay at Catherine's place! What a warm, wonderful host. The cabin is located outside of Dorking and Catherine graciously offered to pick us up from Dorking and also dropped us at the train station the next day. So appreciated! The accommodation is meticulously clean, and decorated with a modern rustic aesthetic. Every amenity is provided, well above and beyond expectation - from snacks in the fridge, coffee options, freshly laundered robes, and both red and white wine glasses. These details didn't go unnoticed or unappreciated. We really felt pampered! Breakfast was unbelievably good, with fresh fruit, a variety of specialty cheeses and meats. To top it off, freshly baked bread and croissants. Save your scraps for Elvis the pig! Overall, one of my best Air BnB experiences. Thank you, Catharine!

This is a beautifully refurbished old Country Cottage! A peaceful retreat in a picturesque Surrey Hills. It looks and really feels like a fairytale house for active relaxation and meditation! It is cosy, has a charm of an old, rustic place but, at the same time, it's very pleasant, quiet, clean and well maintained little cottage. If you look for a place to stay stress free and prefer to be "switched off" and isolated from work and other daily commitments, this is an ideal choice for you. But, it wasn't quite for us. We are a senior couple and we stayed there for a week. We like to be in a daily contact with our children and friends, we like to read on line news, watch some Netflix series in the evenings etc. This was not possible as we could not use our own mobile data (absent, poor and patchy mobile network signal Is a problem in the most of the rural areas in Surrey) and the Cottage has no internet or TV (as it's correctly stated in the AirBnB advert). For people who perhaps want to stay more then a few days it is good to emphasise that there is no washing machine in the property. We feel that this could also be helpful if present (again, that is also clearly mentioned in the property description). In summary, based on our recent experience and taking in account our preferences, we rated the property 4* (very good).

Jonathan's place is the perfect simple countryside retreat for those that want to 'get away'. No phone signal, no neighbours really, just an old farmhouse style barn down a windy track with beams and a simple kitchen that had plenty for a few days, along with a very pretty bedroom. There was an array of beautiful walking trails and the two nearby pubs (we walked in 20 mins) were excellent, making it a great area to escape to for a break. Jonathan was brilliant with communication ensuring we had a smooth arrival. He even gave us a lift to Ockley with our heavy bags which was hugely appreciated. Thank you so much! I highly recommend staying here.

Brilliant place & made to feel very welcome! Fantastic first trip with Abnb.

Lovely comfortable house in a beautiful place

The Airbnb photographs of this property are highly misleading. Whilst this is a characterful property, it is packed with so much clutter - furniture, pictures, boxes, bin-bags full of who knows what, that when sat in the living room we felt as though we were in a store-cupboard. Two wardrobes also housed in the small living room, one of which half-blocks the already small window. The overall impression is that the place is being used as a temporary store for the contents of a far larger property. Carpeting in the sitting room comprises various off-cuts from, by the looks of it, the bedrooms carpet, with random rugs covering most but not all of the gaps in between. The photographed garden (which presumably belongs to the neighbouring house) may be adjacent but is almost invisible from inside the cottage. Most (very dirty) windows overlook farm sheds immediately to the rear and other outbuildings to the front. Given the extensive clutter everywhere, the amount of dust and spiders - dead and alive - was not surprising. The tiny kitchenette is also being used to store kitchen appliances. No hot water (aside from some from the electric shower) was the last straw. A bare minimum of amenities: two towels, two mugs, some tea bags and coffee, a few paper cups and napkins and two plastic forks. Had we seen photos of the entire place on the Airbnb website - i.e. showing the clutter throughout and the property in its actual setting, we simply would not have booked. We did not meet the owner, having booked only the day before and been advised that he was going on holiday.

An amazing little cottage/barn full of interesting stuff that was also really comfortable - definitely recommended for a uniquely cool place to stay. Is quite hard to find, but Jonathan was super helpful and communicative in the run-up to my stay so that didn't end up being an issue, despite me arriving in the middle of the night. Great!

Lovely quaint place! Exactly as the pictures. Location is beautiful, very close to the Surrey Hills and good local pubs. Very peaceful and tranquil. :)

Unable to stay due to last minute childcare issues, couldn't cancel booking in app.

I had an wonderful time with Vivienne. She is very open and friendly as a host. Not only she drove me to the market and my appointement but also I felt very welcome. Her garden is magnificent and her house very comfortable.

Great stay in a lovely house, made really welcome and perfect for Gatwick.

Vivienne made us feel very welcome and was very friendly. We had some great discussions about a variety of subjects. Pity we didn't get a chance to use the delightful garden as we arrived late at 9pm.

The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Jane is a superb host. We had a warm welcome and were shown to our lovely room and loved the homemade shortbreads! We were staying for photography farm at Ridge Farm and it's so close so was perfect. The room was great with everything we needed for a comfy stay. The breakfast was a real wow moment with so much wonderful food and drink, we felt spoilt. Thank you for a really lovely stay! X

A really warm welcome from Andrew and Jane. The room and service was wonderful. A super comfortable room with tea coffee cookies and an amazing cooked breakfast the next morning. I can't wait to visit again next year.

Jane was the perfect Hostess and her home was as equally inviting. I visited for a local wedding and I couldn't have been more satisfied with my stay. Thank you.

This is the second time I have stayed with Jane, she is such a wonderful host! I arrived quite late in the evening and there was fresh milk and home cooked cookies on arrival and Jane's welcome! We had a yummy breakfast before heading off to the wedding I was shooting at near by Ridge Farm. Perfect stay, thanks so much!

Hello Jane Another very pleasant stay. I couldn't resist the biscuits, sweets.......etc I'm afraid! :-) Many thanks again. Neal

Jane and Andrew made us feel very welcome and comfortable. 5* B&B. They carefully considered the needs of their guests, the room was superb, with a very comfy bed and lovely soft linen. The bathroom was spacious and clean with welcome touches such as Molton Brown products. My husband especially liked the homemade shortbread and choccies, and loose leaf tea available in the room. Andrew prepared a very hearty breakfast and catered to our individual needs with some of the highlights being Jane's homemade sour dough bread and sausage from one of their own pigs! Would highly recommend. Thanks Jane & Andrew for a wonderful stay, Zoe & Neil

Hello Jane Thank you for another very enjoyable stop over. I was pleased that Pam found the breakfast as good if not better than I had described to her before our arrival! Best Wishes. Neal

We had a great stay in a beautiful village with fantastic hosts! We were going to a wedding in nearby newdigate, and they were more that happy to give us a ride up to the church on the morning of the wedding! Breakfast was masterful, couldn't ask for much more really!

They recommended a nearby pub which was excellent and came out to meet us when we were confused which road to go down. We had a lovely time!

We had a very lovely night's stay at Thom's place. The location is stunningly beautiful and right by a great pub and shop. There are horses in the neighbouring stables that our kids enjoyed seeing. The accommodation is exactly as shown in the pictures and very well equipped with rustic charm being a converted stable block. Thom was a really charming host and even dropped in with some cake his daughter had made. We would love to visit again some time. Highly recommended.

The space is quaint, not quite what we expected. Clean and cozy.

Fantastic place..Thom was a great host, he provided all the information we needed, was welcoming on our arrival and was around if we needed anything. Pub and lovely shop just across the road and beautiful walks from the door step. Thom provided enough wood for the burner for our entire stay. Perfect London retreat.

We were looking for a short retreat from the hustle and bustle of London and we could not have picked a better place than Thom's home in Coldharbour. It is located in a charming, quaint little village. There is a pub (we'd recommend the food!) and a small village shop. You are seconds away from woods and fields, and we enjoyed going for walks and even a jog on Sunday morning. The place itself is very cosy, with a fireplace to keep you warm. All the essentials are there. Thom is a very helpful, welcoming, and friendly host. We would definitely recommend this place! When Thom dropped us off at the Dorking train station, we felt re-energized to go back to London.

If you are looking for a rustic acommodation in a quiet village with a beautiful surrounding, this is the place. The cottage is warm and cosy, Thom is a great host, eager to please and very helpful! Very recommended!

Our stay at the stables was lovely! Both Thom and Jane were very friendly and helpful and the place was very cosy and had everything you could want for a short stay in the country. Location-wise, it was brilliant for exploring the beautiful surrounding area, as you could literally just walk across the road and you were in beautiful woodland. The Plough Inn was also only across the road and great for warming up in after a day of exploring. We would highly recommend the stables to anyone looking for a country retreat!

Great place with a friendly host to explore the outdoors. Was warm and cosy even in temperatures below freezing.

This is a a great place - a very comfortable, tasteful room with every detail looked after wonderfully, including everything needed to make a cup of real coffee - much appreciated. The village is charming, and very convenient for Gatwick airport. Jane and her husband were incredibly welcoming and really made me feel at home, and the breakfast was excellent. Highly recommended.

Our stay was simply great. Hosts Jane and Andrew were extremely friendly and hospitable. We could literally feel the warm and kind spirit in the house, like when you get to see your old friend from the past. All details in the house are carefully thought out and nothing is lacking. Bed was very comfortable and we had an excellent rest. The breakfast was something else! We've stayed at over 30 B&Bs in the UK and breakfast that Jane and Andrew prepared definitely ranks number one! It was extra tasty and so plentiful. We look forward to returning to the Old Joinery B&B so very much. PS Andrew - thank you for the ride to the station. Very kind of you.

I stayed for one night and was warmly welcomed into Ryan and Radmilla's lovely home. They made me feel at ease and their home is warm, comfortable and beautiful. They are charming and generous hosts. Breakfast was fabulous with a variety of food available.

Ryan and Radmilla were a incredible guest! They pay attention to tiny detail and always care about your accomodation be comfortable. Very nice place to stay. I enjoyed to stay there and would love to see them again.

It was lovely staying at Susanna's house. It was clean and spacious with a huge garden and a beautiful pond. We had a great time mountain biking and exploring the idyllic countryside.

Susannah's place is bigger, brighter & more beautiful than the pictures do it justice. We were so pleasantly surprised by the beautiful location, smack in the middle of amazing wildlife and wonderful walks through bluebell covered woods. We were three families coming for a relaxing break and we all had a really lovely time! Oh and important note - comfy beds too! We would definitely stay here again :)
