Surrey, the leafy neighbour of London, is a masterclass in understated English elegance. Known for its lush landscapes, it offers a refreshing retreat from urban life. The Surrey Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, are a walker’s paradise, with Box Hill and Leith Hill offering panoramic views across rolling countryside.
History buffs can explore Hampton Court Palace on the Surrey border, once home to Henry VIII, or Loseley Park, a stately home steeped in Tudor grandeur. For more contemporary indulgence, Guildford's cobbled streets offer chic boutiques and cosy cafés.
Wine lovers should head to Denbies Wine Estate, one of England’s largest vineyards, for a taste of homegrown fizz. With its perfect blend of culture, nature, and charm, Surrey makes a compelling case for the quintessential English escape.
We love Surrey here at Coolstays, and offer some delightful stays in the county including cosy cabins, charming shepherd’s huts, and beautiful houses.
