This neo-Gothic country house hotel offers grandeur and wonderful views over the Surrey Downs. Spectacular stained glass windows, a charming minstrel's gallery and an 1874 organ adorn the magnificent Grand Hall. Elsewhere, it's all medieval archways, carved panelling, exquisite paintings, sparkling chandeliers and a replica 'Big Ben' tower (the house was modelled on the Palace of Westminster). The charming library walks you through the house's history with pupils' diaries from its days as a boarding school and removable wooden panels used to store guns when the building was commissioned during World War II. There's a luxury spa and health club and two AA rosette fine dining for guests looking for relaxation, and wellies and walking maps for lovers of the outdoors.
Views over the Surrey Downs from the bedrooms and the library are stunning.

Nutfield Priory is perfect for those looking for a relaxed break in luxurious countryside surroundings, or those celebrating a special occasion. We love the striking stained-glass windows featuring family coats of arms in the Grand Hall and the beautifully carved panelling.
We love the hot mineral body-boost massage and the heavenly aroma of sea lavender wafting through the oasis of calm that is the spa.

We love the romantic Byron suite in the tower with its winding staircase, sash windows on two sides, Victorian roll-top bath and cherry wood hand-carved four-poster bed. Touches like a cute clock with USB sockets and beautifully carved beds make your stay extra special.
