The Running Horses

Love this place. We come back every year for a weekend away

Excellent place to stay with a fabulous restaurant (the food is wonderful) and a relaxing country pub bar.

Lovely hotel/pub/restaurant

Lovely, charming period property. Our room was facing the road and outdoor tables from the pub which was noisy until closing time. I unfortunately chose the room with the shower in the roll top tub. Very difficult to climb in and out of for people in their 70’s. No safety handles. Something to bear in mind. Otherwise all good!

The Running Horses was a perfect stay for our trip to the local Debbie’s Wine Estate. Exceptional place and service in a great location.

We stopped here for one night and the staff were very welcoming, the food was very nice. We would definitely stop here again.

Really lovely relaxing pub with pretty rooms and an excellent restaurant.

Beautiful place with lots of character. Rooms were smal but well appointed with a very comfortable bed. Breakfast served was pleasant but the service was ridiculously slow and the food average with coffee that was moderately warm, however, I would definitely stay there again.

Great atmosphere in the pub

Excellent however as productive feedback; The welcome note in the room advises that you need to request milk for the room and to request a breakfast booking with the staff however. Most guests may read this whilst ready for bed by which time it’s too late to speak to staff or they may have to redress to go and ask. I would highly recommend that these questions are asked whilst being welcomed / checked in.

Friendly, clean and really beautiful

Great pub, lovely food and accommodation. Thanks for the early breakfast too

We stayed at the Running Horses as looking for a base to hike locally Saturday and Sunday. The pub has a lovely terrace which along with the bar and bedrooms are dog friendly. Our room was well maintained, comfortable and quiet. We had dinner and breakfast both tasty with good service. We enjoyed our stay and would visit again as a great location for Box Hill hikes and surrounding walks.

Very friendly

Great place for a country pub feel. Good solid restaurant attached that does themed nights

This place is awesome! From the moment we arrived we just knew it was the start of a great weekend… gorgeous building and surrounding areas, superb food and drink selection (you have to try their Old Fashioned cocktail, even my wife who would swear at the mention of whiskey was blown away - I had several cough cough)… our accommodation was perfect, exactly what we thought it would be. Very clean and spacious - it was a treat! The service and staff are top-notch… clearly they all care about what they do and what it means for this place - honestly, everyone was on-point, friendly and caring… we will definitely be coming back one day!

What a stunning property and area! I loved my stay and will definitely be back. The friendly and helpful staff were all wonderful and the grounds are breathtaking! I loved staying here! Lorraine

Booked a room that said courtyard but all 3 sash-windows were directly on the street with a lot of noise coming through from the road. Bus stops directly outside of these so kept having to shut curtains and lighting in room was quite dark also. Floor creaky, lots of noise from pub below. Really wasn’t a comfortable stay at all and decided to just leave a day early and go stay somewhere else. Breakfast wasn’t amazing and overpriced for what you got. 1 sausage and 1 rasher of bacon seemed very stingy for a full English breakfast that you have to pay for as an extra. I won’t be staying again

The room was beautiful, the staff had no idea. The restaurant staff argued with us and had no information about the food on the menu. We ate in the restaurant once (with our invited guests) and decided we would have breakfast lunch and dinner elsewhere.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here - the service is great and the pub is a great little place for a drink plus plenty of lovely walks around including box hill if you fancy the steep climb! We also can’t recommend the food highly enough. We stayed New Year’s Eve and dined in the restaurant which was amazing. Our standard double room, whilst a little on the small side, was fine for a night, incredibly comfortable and the bathroom was lovely with the roll top bath. And a Nespresso machine in the room :)
