Boasting easy links to Gatwick and Heathrow Airports, this hotel is ideally situated in Dorking Town Centre, only a couple of miles from Leatherhead, Reigate and Guildford. An ancient vicarage in 1278, the Mercure Dorking was first established as an inn in 1750 and is part of Dorking's rich heritage. Charles Dickens was a visitor and did some of his writing here. With its old oak beams, open log fires and inviting lounge, it is ideal for meeting friends or business colleagues. For the Leisure Traveller there are many local attractions to visit such as Box Hill, Surrey Downs, Wisley RHS, Denbies Vineyard, Shere Village (as featured in Bridget Jones's Diary) Chessington World of Adventures, Legoland and Epsom Racecourse.
