Very impressed from the off . Pleasant check in , good parking . Room really clean,modern and spacious . Good facilities a first to have a plug by a mirror for drying hair with a decent hairdryer !!! At last . Also excellent toiletries including hair conditioner - well done the princess royal .. good fluffy white towels too ..

Breakfast was plentiful and tasty and served hot and fresh.

Only
Minor downside the restaurant could not cater for my no oil fat or butter dietary requirement so had to eat elsewhere . But I’m aware they do cater for other dietary requirement so worth a phone call ahead of a stay.

Will return at the right price , looking to pricey for next week as we stay overnight every Tuesday and this could have been our regularly go to place so will keep an eye on the price...

Impressed overall . Thank you.

When the menus of various Farnham restaurants doing a set Christmas meal for groups were shown around, we had high hopes for this place, especially as it was one of the more expensive options. Nothing wrong with the welcome, venue, service or drinks (although the wine prices were ridiculous), but the food was REALLY disappointing. Mean portions and really low quality produce (we actually laughed out loud at some of the starters when they arrived) has ensured we won’t be choosing this place again.

We were pleased to discover that the rooms are in a separate building rather than over the pub itself. The rooms are lovely quality and a good size. The shower was delightfully hot.

Buffet breakfast was very nice. Gluten free and vegetarian seemed well catered for. Enormous pots of tea!

Helpful, friendly staff. Only negative is the bathroom ceiling in Room 11 needs some mould remover! Easily remedied I am sure.

Good evening,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review on TripAdvisor.

It is lovely to hear you found your room comfortable and enjoyed your breakfast in the morning.

I will look into the ceiling in room 11, as this is the first I have heard about it, so hopefully we can rectify this for you should you wish to stay with us again in the future.

Thanks again for leaving such a nice review.

Kind regards,

Thought I had put this review through ages ago. Anyway we booked up The Princess Royal for my mothers wake on 10th October 2018. We only had catering for 50 and this was perfect. What was a great attraction for this venue is its lovely location and that it never charged a fee for you to hire the room we had. The food and service was absolutely perfect. We had wines & fizz for guests when they arrived and a sandwich buffet at £9:50 per person. This buffet does include far more than just sandwiches. We had a really lovely afternoon and the whole event went without a hitch. I would highly recommend this venue and location.

We went here for out Christmas meal last Monday. I know the pub well as it’s one of my locals. I have to say the Christmas meal was excellent. The pub was warm and welcoming and staff helpful and friendly.
Food was freshly prepared even the Brussels sprouts were fresh and not frozen. Very prompt service when we asked for more drinks and water. The staff worked extremely hard all night, hats off to them. We were all very impressed.
