Drop-off that works
The Borough has no stopping and widened pavements. We use the rear garden car park side instead.

Farnham & surrounding area
Orbit Taxis is on call at the Bush Hotel, which has stood on The Borough since 1618 and now runs 95 rooms behind an ivy-clad, Grade II listed frontage. It is the one sizeable hotel in the middle of Farnham, so getting a taxi to the door is a question of the one-way system rather than distance: The Borough has no stopping, so we work the rear garden car park side instead.
Ask reception to set up a standing account on your behalf.

The Bush is a former coaching inn, listed since 1950, with the Oak Lounge in its oldest part and a Georgian garden restaurant used for breakfast. Thackeray mentions the inn in The Virginians and Cromwell is traditionally said to have stayed in 1648. The practical point for a driver is simpler: it is in the middle of a one-way town centre.
The practical route in is from the A31 at the Shepherd and Flock roundabout, then following town-centre signs onto the one-way system. The Borough itself is not pedestrianised, but it is a working carriageway with traffic signals at the junction and nowhere to wait, so the rear and garden car park side is where we set down.
Farnham town centre has been under reconstruction since early 2025, with work due to run into late 2026 and diversions sending northbound traffic via South Street, the A31 and Hale Road. For an early flight we add time for that rather than discover it at six in the morning.
The cars
Luggage is where most airport bookings go wrong. These are the real limits, not the optimistic ones.
The standard car for one to four people. Two checked-in bags in the boot plus two items of hand luggage.
Six seats with room for two large suitcases in the back plus four items of hand luggage.
Seven seats filled, with five large suitcases in the boot plus six items of hand luggage.
Questions
What guests usually ask about this hotel.
Not comfortably. The Borough is a live carriageway on Farnham's one-way system with no stopping and widened pavements, so we normally set down and collect at the rear car park side instead. Tell reception you have a car coming and they will point you the right way.
It is about half a mile, which the hotel puts at a ten to fifteen minute walk. By car it is usually three to six minutes, though the town-centre one-way system can stretch that at busy times.
Yes, two car parks holding around 70 cars, charged nightly for residents and free for event delegates. The hotel's private car park sits next to the town's main pay and display.
That is most of the work here. The hotel has three licensed ceremony rooms, the largest taking 150 in the evening, and with only so many bedrooms on site the late runs back to other hotels and homes are a fixed part of the night.
