Barcroft Bed & Breakfast

Barcroft is a modern house set in private grounds of 5 acres. It is surrounded by beautiful trees with views up to the Surrey Hills and access to wonderful walks and trails. It is perfect for business travellers, cyclists, walkers and riders.

Barcroft is a modern Scandinavian Bed and Breakfast run by Malene Sogaard. Malene originates from Denmark and came to England twenty years ago.
Barcroft reflects Malene’s love of Scandinavian design and home living and the beauty of the English countryside. She provides you with not just bed and breakfast but a stay that won’t be forgotten.

Schools
Barcroft is situated one mile from Cranleigh village, close to the schools of St Josephs, Cranleigh School, Cranleigh Preparatory School, Hurtwood, Duke of Kent, and a ten minute drive from St Catherine’s in Bramley and Rikkyo School in Rudgewick.

Airports, Roads and Rail
Gatwick airport lies to the east of Barcroft. It is 35 minutes cross country drive (through the villages of Ockley and Newdigate) from here.

Heathrow, is a similar distance, but as you need to go via the M25 , it generally takes longer, depending on the time of day you are travelling. You can get there in 45 minutes but we would always advise at least an hour. A local taxi service and secure car parking is available.
Barcroft sits just North of the A281, south of the A25 about 5 miles from the A3. Junction 9 and 10 of the M25 are the closest. Both are equidistance, at about half hour away.

The closest mainline stations are that of Guildford and Dorking, with fast services to London Waterloo or London Victoria (35mins). The smaller stations of Chilworth, Ockley and West Clandon are a 20min drive away.

Shopping, Local Villages and Entertainment

Cranleigh and the surrounding towns and villages provide excellent shops, pubs and restaurants for you to enjoy. Guildford’s shops are excellent, with all the big retailers there and late nights on Thursday evenings.

There are also many National Trust properties within a short drive Clandon Park, Hatchlands, Winkworth and Leith Hill Tower (the tallest point in Surrey).

The ancient village of Shere is just 3 miles away, a picture perfect English village. This has been used as the set for many films in the past and if you visit, you will understand why. With the charming River Tillingbourne running through it, an old forge, a beautiful traditional church and its quaint English Tea Shop and pubs, it’s the perfect place to start or finish a walk.

The Winkworth Arboreteum is a 20 min drive. In the autumn this displays the most vibrant of natural colour as the “garden” comes into it’s own.

Reviews & Customer Feedback

I loved this B&B:
The lady running it was very welcoming and warm. I stayed in a single room which was small but cosy, all fresh with very easy and relaxed modern decoration in neutral colours and tasteful accessories. Fresh, crisp laundry. Lovely white cotton duvet and comfy bed.

The bathroom was large and therefore great to get ready in. Wonderful power shower. Everything was spotless, absolutely crisp as if I was walking into a brand new house.

Breakfast was superb in a beautiful room. It was a lovely sunny morning so the patio doors were opened onto rolling lawn beyond which five beautiful Fjord ponies dozed and grazed in the mist morning paddocks.

Breakfast was three courses! Which I personally found too much but the lady offered to wrap the pastries which I could not eat at the time. I eagerly agreed because it was all so delicious and quite literally freshly picked. My favorite was the only minutes before juiced gala apple juice.

Absolute ***** star rating even for a small single room! Want to soon make an excuse to stay again. Thank you so much :) ...
