Watermill

The Watermill Inn is a charming 1930s establishment located in Pixham, set amidst the picturesque Surrey Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with captivating views of the lush, historic landscape of Box Hill. The quaint village of Pixham boasts a wealth of cultural gems. The renowned Pixham Church, a Grade II* listed building designed by the celebrated architect Edwin Lutyens, was finished in 1901. Pixham Mill, a significant industrial site in the village during the mid-19th century, still retains much of its appealing Grade II listed mill complex. Pixham was also the residence of the esteemed writer Daniel Defoe, known for his works such as Robinson Crusoe and Moll Flanders, often regarded as the pioneer of the novel. Pixham is situated within Dorking, a locality with a rich cultural legacy that defies its modest dimensions. The Dorking Halls, an art deco venue from the mid-1920s, stands at the core of the town where composer Ralph Vaughan Williams presented Bach’s St. Matthew Passion in 1931. A mere half-mile away is the Dorking Museum & Heritage Centre, exhibiting splendid paintings, vintage photographs of the area, and some intriguing displays. Whether you are exploring for historical insights or seeking a delightful dining experience, The Watermill presents a charming and storied environment to relish traditional pub fare, including seasonal delicacies and leisurely Sunday lunches. Visitors are warmly welcomed to enjoy the dog-friendly setting – Liam and the team.
