I have just been sent an email giving a little bit more about the Godstone Hotel.

"Built in the late 16th Century, when Elizabeth 1st ruled England. Designed originally as a coaching house, it was first known as the "Greyhound Inn" and most of the original timbers survive to this day, including the Inglenook fireplaces in the "Coach-House Restaurant" and "The Creamery".

During the Victorian period, and until as recently as the 1950's, the buildings were converted to a dairy farm known as Garston Farm (hence "The Creamery") Since 1976, this lovely old house has been owned and managed by Roy Howe. Now renamed Godstone Hotel, it once again provides food, refreshment and a place to stay for the passing traveller."
