Explore Esher

Esher has the best of both worlds. It’s a town-and-country sort of place, and has all the hustle-and-bustle of a town at your fingertips, with the Great Outdoors in abundance too.

Cobham Mill

Take a stroll from the High Street to Cobham Mill (a Grade II listed watermill) on the River Mole. It’s a properly pretty place, and perfect for a little outdoors-y exploration.

After falling into disrepair for decades, the mill has been lovingly restored. It even mills corn (upon occasion) and you can pick up a bag of flour from time-to-time.

It’s the last surviving working watermill in Surrey (so, kind of a big deal) and you can visit for free on the second Sunday of the month.

Better than a Hotel

Room was clean and well presented, bed was comfortable and bedding clean. Complimentary bathroom supplies smelt wonderful and the food was exceptional. Breakfast was good. Staff were warm, friendly and very attentive. Would definitely recommend staying at this pub rather than your usual hotel chains
