The Manor House - Who do you think we are?

We may share our name with other hotels in the Guildford area, but that is where the similarity ends. We’re a unique venue and the only place to hold your meetings or accommodate your guests.

The Manor House is an independently-owned conference centre and hotel in Godalming. There are 10 meeting rooms and 31 bedrooms set in suburban countryside, surrounded by so much peace and tranquillity that you can leave the windows open all day and hear calming bird song, breathe in the fresh air and view an amazing panorama of the Surrey Hills.

Godalming? Now there’s a place that may not come straight to mind, but it’s had its moments!  It was the first town in Britain to have electric street lighting and was home to Jack Phillips, the heroic wireless operator on the ill-fated Titanic. Charterhouse School, the public school famous for producing politicians and diplomats, is just across the road.

Location is often cited as the key factor in selecting a venue for a meeting, so let’s see what we can do to help you picture exactly where Godalming is. Like those Charterhouse politicians and diplomats, it’s gloriously well connected.

Godalming is mid-way between London & Portsmouth, six miles from Guildford, Surrey’s County Town. The A3, linking London to the south coast, runs a couple of miles from our door, putting Godalming and the Manor House within an hour’s drive of the centre of London. The M25 is twelve miles away and from there, you can be on the M4 heading west to Wales or the M40 to the Midlands within an hour.

If you’re travelling by train, Godalming is on the main London to Waterloo route and there are at least two trains an hour during peak times. The journey takes about 50 minutes and you can alight at either Godalming or Farncombe, both of which are about a mile from the Manor House. Taxis are plentiful or we can supply you with walking directions if you fancy the stroll (uphill!)

For those travelling from further afield, Heathrow and Gatwick Airports both lie about 30 miles away and can be reached within 40 minutes. We are happy to organise a taxi pick up or a chauffeur service to the Manor House.

The Manor House really does offer a great location, whichever way your guests travel, whilst its unique situation in peaceful surroundings overlooking the Surrey Hills makes it worth serious consideration for your next meeting.
