The hotel itself isn't a bad building, in a decent location. There's ample parking, and the staff are friendly. Unfortunately, the hotel is let down a little by a lack of care and attention over the years to modernisation and upkeep; when we were staying the hotel was still in the process of installing central heating, with exposed pipes present,...

I rarely write tripadvisor reviews - but felt duty bound to alert other potential visitors and the hotel management itself to a few of the problems so they can (hopefully) be corrected in due course. I'll start by saying that this hotel does have potential, and the staff we met appeared to be quite good and they are not the... More

Stayed in the Devils Punch Bowl Hotel In Hindhead recently. Service was friendly, attentive, overall excellent. It was one of those freezing March 2013 weekends but thankfully this small hotel was consistently well heated. Had dinner in their small restaurant on the Friday night and the food was very very good. The best bit was that this was all at... More

This is a very friendly place to stay. I had a lovely spacious room to the rear of the hotel, an excellent breakfast and a try at their busy karaoke night. I did find the carpets were a bit worn but it was clean, really comfortable and run by very friendly staff. The cooked breakfast is excellent although some improvement... More

Booked a night away for my partner and I, close to home but far enough away to be away!! Lovely welcome, upgrade to dinner as no afternoon tea left, room excellent, clean, tidy and had everything we needed. Not ultra modern but that's not what this hotel is about. Dinner was delicious, wine selection very good. Staff were all very... More

We stayed here as a last minute booking and had a charming room - clean, freshly decorated and overlooking the woods of the Devil's Punchbowl. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff; especially Tomas, who really personified customer focused service excellence. We've stayed in many 4* and 5* hotels and they were put to shame compared to how well... More

Do not go here for the Afternoon Tea experience it will dissappoint you hugely. At £8.95 each I thought what a good price, now I think what a rip off-shop bought cakes and not even Mr Kipling. Don't know where they sourced them from but don't think you could get cheaper They even bought the sandwiches ready made and cut... More

We recently stayed here using a voucher bought for us; it was better than expected having read other reviews here. The room was fine. It was clean and spacious with a comfortable bed and good shower (although this did leak on the floor slightly as there was a small gap somewhere). It was well heated throughout the night. The food... More

My husband, my parents and I visited the Punchbowl for Saturday lunch following a recommendation from a friend. The food was delicious and the service excellent; my husband said the steak and ale pie was the best he had ever had! The menu was varied and I had an excellent gnocchi dish. We will definitely return and recommend.

I visited The Devil's Punchbowl last night with friends, in the hope that under new ownership the food and service may have improved somewhat as over the last few years it has been dire. My husband and I had seen a new menu in the bar on our last visit for a glass of wine and thought it would be... More
