The Plough Inn - A classic country pub with en-suite rooms, a microbrewery, and proximity to Surrey Hills trails

Set in Coldharbour village within the Surrey Hills, The Plough Inn features six individually furnished en-suite rooms with flat-screen TVs, complimentary toiletries, and wireless internet. The pub serves a seasonal menu using locally sourced ingredients, including organic vegetables from its garden and real ales from its microbrewery, Leith Hill Brewery. Guests can explore nearby attractions such as Leith Hill Tower (1 km away) and Denbies Wine Estate, or participate in events at The Barn, which hosts live music, food fairs, and private gatherings. The Plough Inn is 8 km from Dorking Deepdene and 25 km from London Gatwick.

Pros

The pub operates its own microbrewery, offering craft beers like Crooked Furrow and Smiler's Happiness.

Located within the Surrey Hills, providing direct access to National Trust trails and cycling routes.

Seasonal menu features locally sourced ingredients, including award-winning cheeses and grass-fed beef.

The Barn hosts private events, including small weddings, with access to a beer garden.

Cons

Some rooms may require a request for a bathtub, as most feature shower-only en-suites.

Limited dining options beyond the pub's seasonal menu.

“Nestled in the countryside, this inn distinguishes itself with exceptionally friendly staff and a warm, inviting pub atmosphere. The food stands out, especially the generous portions for dinner and breakfast, complemented by local ales. It's a haven for walkers and hikers, perfectly positioned to explore the surrounding nature, and remarkably dog-friendly.”
