Cranleigh Hotel
Reigate, Surrey

Michael and Bruno look forward to welcoming you to The Cranleigh Hotel, which is superbly situated a short five minute stroll into Reigate's cafes, restaurants and designer boutiques. Reigate is one of the last unspoilt towns fringing the magnificently forrested North Downs, famous for it's history of Romans, Pilgrims, spring waters and as a first stop for nineteenth century coaches as they made their way south from London to Brighton.

Reigate is an historic market town in Surrey, England at the foot of the North Downs. It is one of the main constituents of the Borough of Reigate and Banstead. During the 13th century the Reigate Priory was founded for regular Canons of the Order of St Augustine. After the dissolution of the monasteries in 1535 the estate was granted by Henry VIII to William Howard, 1st Baron Howard of Effingham, who converted the Priory into a residence. The Effingham branch of the Howard family, including the Earl of Nottingham who as Lord High Admiral commanded the force which defeated the Spanish Armada, lived there for about 140 years. The building is now used as a school.
