With delicious food, individually styled rooms, and an inviting atmosphere full of personality, The Ragged Robin is more than a place to stay or dine

The Ragged Robin Pub Godalming: Riverside Charm and Seasonal Flavours

Nestled on the banks of the River Wey, The Ragged Robin pub Godalming perfectly captures the essence of a welcoming hostelry. Part of the Heartwood Inns empire, this beautifully refurbished pub with rooms has quickly become a local favourite.

A Warm Welcome and Local Brews at The Ragged Robin Pub Godalming

Named after the wild flora and fauna of the surrounding meadows, The Ragged Robin is the sixth venue in Heartwood Inns. After a multi-million pound refurbishment, this Godalming pub offers cosy nooks, fireplaces, and an expertly curated drinks selection featuring local breweries like Surrey Hills and Hogs Back.

Seasonal Dining with a Sustainable Focus

The dining room now includes a bright garden room with views over the transformed riverside garden. With 213 indoor seats, the pub offers spaces for every occasion. The menu changes seasonally and matches Heartwood’s three-star rating from the Sustainable Restaurant Association, the highest possible. Highlights include the signature twice-baked cheese soufflé with rich Coastal Cheddar sauce — perfect for special occasions or when you just want someone else to cook. Breakfast guests enjoy a hearty spread of continental and traditional cooked dishes.

Riverside Garden and Boutique Rooms at The Ragged Robin Pub Godalming

Outside, the garden has a new terrace and pergolas, offering seating for 124 guests with dedicated bar service. It also has a mooring for direct river access via River Wey.

The Ragged Robin features 19 boutique bedrooms, ranging from cosy ‘Snugs’ to luxurious rooms with free-standing baths. All rooms include thoughtful touches such as rainfall showers, Roberts radios, Bramley toiletries, and Illy coffee machines. The pub welcomes families and dogs, offering dog-friendly rooms and a dog shower.

A Heartwood CEO’s Vision for Godalming

Richard Ferrier, CEO of Heartwood Collection, said:
“We are delighted to open The Ragged Robin and to have brought this beautiful building back to life. We have been huge admirers of Godalming for many years and to have this beautiful ‘pub with rooms’ now open is incredibly satisfying.”
