The Bush is an independent hotel that has been welcoming guests through its doors since 1618. Steeped in history but embracing contemporary design, the Bush is the perfect blend of the old world and the new. Situated in the heart of Farnham’s historic town centre but nestled within its own private gardens, we offer a warm welcome and respite from the hustle and bustle of Farnham’s high street. With original features, roaring fires, 94 comfortable bedrooms and a wide range of menus and spaces for different occasions, the Bush prides itself on being a friendly, family-owned hotel. With direct train links to London, cycling and walking routes to the Surrey Hills, close proximity to Farnborough airport, and easy access to the M3, A3 and A31, the Bush is the perfect location whatever your reason for visiting.

I have frequented this Hotel many times over the years . Once the jewel of the accommodation in Farnham . However now sadly is in need of a lot of investment and currently is way overpriced for everything from its rooms to food and beverages . Every where you look its dated in need of TLC .

Visiting Farnham 4 times a week,we saw a board advertising Sunday Lunch.Only their second week,but what a lovely lunch and venue.We started with a Prawn Cocktail and Chicken Liver Pate,followed by Roast Beef and trimmings.Beautiful Yorkshires and a lovely selection of Vegetables,so much that we couldn't manage puddings. We shall certainly return every couple of weeks so that we can try the Fish and other options. Well done to the 'NEW BUSH'

As a family of four, we enjoyed a one night stay at this lovely hotel. We had two interconnecting rooms and that worked really well. The rooms were spacious, comfortable and clean. We had dinner in the restaurant and food was fantastic. We enjoyed the cottage pie, chicken supreme, pork cheeks and burger follwed by two desserts. It surpassed our expectations and it is probably the most tasty cottage pie I have ever had. Only comment for improvement would be the F&B service. The staff seemed inexperienced and untrained so this would be an area of improvement.

Had a really great stay at The Bush Farnham. Perfect venue for a work trip, but I would stay there again if I was visiting the area for personal reasons. The rooms were recently upgraded and felt luxurious, the bed was huge and comfy and I had a Chaise longue in my room which was lovely. The breakfast was a highlight with a mix of buffet and cooked to order and including some great variations, such as avocado on toast and eggs royal. We barely left the hotel over the 3 days we were there, but this didn't feel like a bad thing! Dinner and lunch were both delicious. All in all great value for money, much higher standard than I was expecting.

The Bush is a lovely hotel- my mother and I have stayed twice now in 2023 and 2024 and can't fault it. The rooms have been scrupulously clean both times, the beds are comfortable and the food is excellent. We've enjoyed all our evening meals and breakfasts. The only thing to be aware of is that the hotel has no lift, which is worth being aware of I'd you're planning to bring lots of luggage.

The suite we had was beautiful, tastefully decorated with a spacious walk in wardrobe and lovely and warm too. The lighting system in the room was very clever! Our ensuite was great, powerful shower that maintained the same temperature, plenty of shelving for storage, always handy. The bed was huge and very comfy. Breakfast was very nice too!

We found this hotel on booking.com while in another hotel, as the place we planned on staying was awful and we wanted to leave. When we arrived at reception we had a very warm welcome, and while chatting to the two ladies at reception we told them about the other hotel. They immediately upgraded us, and we were shown to our beautiful room. We had a pretty perfect evening meal at their restaurant, and the staff were excellent. Breakfast was delicious, and there was lots of choice. I would highly recommend this lovely, warm and welcoming hotel.

This hotel could be amazing but every time I have stayed I have to get my key reprogrammed and twice I have asked to be close to reception and have been right at the end of a very long corridor. Reception staff are friendly but disinterested if issues arise which is a little frustrating. Restaurant food is excellent especially breakfast!

Dear westcliffSos, Thank you for you feedback. I am happy to hear that you like the food we provide. The reason why you have been allocated to rooms at the end of the corridor it might be because you have booked a Classic Room our Superior or Garden rooms are closer to reception, the keys sometimes loose the programming if are kept near a mobile phone. I am sorry that you have found the reception team disinterested, I have spoke to them to ensure this is not happening again. I hope to see you again at the Bush. Kind regards Francesco Bartolomei General Manager

Stayed here twice in the past few months and on both visits the room was freezing and we were unable to change the heating as it appears to be centrally controlled. This time it was sorted but it was at least 2 hours after we checked in. Being able to control the room heat is standard as is being warm in the room. Appreciate that energy costs are crazy at this time but you don't go to a hotel to be uncomfortable. It's shame as the hotel has improved dramatically since the time when it was a Mercure. The location is perfect, it has parking and breakfast is very good. Lots of staff and they do a good job.
