The Manor House is an award-winning conference centre and hotel in Godalming, that offers excellent meeting facilities and comfortable hotel accommodation in the picturesque Surrey Hills.

With ten flexible meeting rooms, thirty one tranquil bedrooms and a range of on-site conference facilities it is an ideal setting for a variety of events. It is regularly used as a conference training venue for sales teams, annual board meetings and small conferences.

The Manor House prides itself on providing conference facilities for corporate customers that are far from the impersonal, bland room of some conference venues. Full of the character and charm of a country hotel, meeting rooms all have natural daylight and many have stunning views or beautiful features such as old fireplaces, panelling or intricate plasterwork.

Flexible meeting rooms.

Porter is the largest meeting room, seating up to 74 theatre style; it is newly decorated and offers a light and airy conference room overlooking the grounds with access to a large breakout area.

The stunning Boardroom offers capacity for up to 14 guests. This room with its elegant, dark-oak panelling and grand fireplace was the original dining room. With a comfortable seating area that overlooks the grounds, this conference room is also very popular as a private dining room for up to 18.

There are several other smaller meeting rooms, one of the most stunning is Deming; boasting carved wooden panelling and intricately designed plasterwork, as well as a beautiful marble fireplace acquired from Arundel Castle. The room lends itself to private dining and exclusive summer events as there is access to the garden via a verandah.

Historic venue.

Built in the late 19th century, the Manor House has had an interesting history. At some time around 1890, Charles Hampton Weeks, a master at Charterhouse School (situated just across the road) built the Manor House for himself and his family. In 1906, the house was passed to the Crisp family.

In the latter part of WW2, the pre-clinical students of St.Thomas Hospital Medical School were evacuated to the Manor House from London.

In the early 1970's, it was agreed that the University of Surrey should take over the Manor House as a hall of residence. The annual beer festival was legendary in the University and amongst the local community! Bought by its sister business, Quest Worldwide Consulting, in 1993, the Manor House immediately underwent a refurbishment to make it habitable and one of the larger meeting rooms was soon in use as an office for the Quest team.
