Hotel of the Week: Win A Stay At The Merry Harriers

Step into a cozy corner of the Surrey Hills with the Hotel of the Week feature from Country & Town House. The Merry Harriers sits in the pretty village of Hambledon, offering rolling green hills, traditional pub charm and a menu that celebrates local producers. In late 2023 the inn received a thoughtful refresh by a team known for hospitality, and the result is a warm, modern countryside retreat that feels both inviting and quietly luxurious, with comfortable spaces to settle into after a day of wandering.

Inside the bar and dining spaces you will find a thoughtful blend of rustic character and contemporary comfort. The fourteen rooms span intimate first floor spaces with ancient beams, five garden rooms guiding you to the outdoors, and five new shepherds huts tucked into the grounds. Each room is designed for a restful night, with soft lighting, cosy textiles and a calm vibe that makes you slow down as you arrive.

When you win this prize, you and a guest will enjoy a one-night stay for two, including a three-course dinner with a bottle of house wine and breakfast the next morning. The dining offers seasonal dishes that champion local ingredients, built around a relaxed, friendly kitchen that knows how to pair flavours with thoughtful wine choices. The setting invites lingering conversations and small, joyful moments.

Booking is straightforward, but dates and blackout periods apply, so plan ahead. The prize is valid for a one-night stay for two sharing and must be redeemed by 31 December 2026, with certain dates unavailable. Travel to and from the hotel is not included, but near the inn you will find pretty lanes, pubs, and countryside walks that are perfect for a gentle morning stroll.

The Merry Harriers is a village inn that radiates warmth and hospitality. It invites guests to wander the surrounding lanes, pop into the pub for a pint, or settle into a sunlit dining room for a seasonal dish crafted from local ingredients. It’s a place where countryside hospitality feels timeless, with modern comforts and a warm, unrushed service that makes a weekend feel like a little escape from everyday life.

Surrounding the inn you will find the quintessential Surrey Hills landscape, with hedgerows, farms and small trails perfect for a walk after dinner. It is the kind of place that makes a weekend feel restorative rather than rushed, a destination you tell friends about with a smile. This Hotel of the Week celebration offers a warm invitation to slow down, enjoy good food, and wake up to a fresh morning in a peaceful corner of England.

Finally, note that the prize offers a complete experience for two, from arrival to breakfast, through a thoughtfully curated stay that highlights both dining and comfort in equal measure. The closing date for entries is 4 June 2026, so there is a clear window to imagine a Surrey escape and the chance to wake up refreshed in a charming countryside inn.
