"It seems there’s a White Horse of some description in just about every town, village, and hamlet in England. But only the one in Dorking is the Victorian-era coaching inn where Charles Dickens wrote part of The Pickwick Papers. It’s also the only one that recently underwent a £4-million refurbishment to bring it up to modern standards that even Dickens couldn’t have imagined." - The MICHELIN Guide

"A Victorian-era coaching inn where Charles Dickens went to write part of The Pickwick Papers, the White Horse recently spent £4 million on a refurbishment to bring it up to the standard demanded by guests who’ve grown accustomed to the boutique hotels of London and the surrounding countryside." - Mark Fedeli
"In this business, it pays to be specific; it seems there’s a White Horse of some description in just about every town, village, and hamlet in England. But only one is remembered as the Victorian-era coaching inn where Charles Dickens went to write part of The Pickwick Papers, and that would be the White Horse in Dorking, Surrey. It’s also the only one that recently sank £4 million into a refurbishment to bring it up to the standard demanded by guests who’ve grown accustomed to the boutique hotels of London and the surrounding countryside." - Tablet Hotels
