Surprisingly, this is one of just a few Guest Houses in Woking that offers temporary residency so is not just a lodge for visiting guests.
The owner, Mr Tony Harrison has been a permanent feature of the guest house since he bought the property in the 1990s when the guest house
used to be a boys home run by social services. There is considerable history to this Guest house given that it was built in Edwardian times with modern renovations being added throughout the 20th century. It is a three story building with an attic room at the very top.
Prices vary according to room size, duration of stay as well as how many guests stay, so the prices are not affirmatively fixed. The rooms are not
en-suite but the lodge has two main bathrooms with a constant supply of
hot water and clean towels. Breakfast is served from 7.30am through to
9am and a full English is highly recommended, though there is also the option of cereal ad toast.
The best feature of the Guest house is the location: directly opposite the South West rail line and bus and train terminal, less than a mile walk from the lodge, so is an ideal choice of stay for an overnight rest or temporary tourist.
The least desirable trait of this lodge is that is frequented daily by other visitors that are friends of Mr Harrison, so can be quite an active place during the day with Police coming to and from the building after they receive complaints of disturbance (at least whilst I was a tenant) and,
because I still pass it myself every week, these activities don't appear to have altered very much within the past six years. read more
