Guildford's main
train station
lies just over the river west of the town centre; the
bus station
is between the town centre and the train station, at the foot of North Street. The county's main
tourist office
is at 14 Tunsgate opposite the Guildhall (May-Sept Mon-Sat 9am-5.30pm, Sun 10am-4.30pm; Oct-April Mon-Sat 9.30am-5.30pm; tel 01483/444333,
). Guildford's cheaper
accommodation
options are all some distance from the town centre and include the homely
Atkinsons Guest House
, 129 Stoke Rd (tel 01483/538260; A?40-50), with en-suite rooms, ten minutes' walk up the A320 Woking road. Plusher lodgings can be found at the
Jarvis Guildford Hotel
, 253 High St (tel 01483/564511; A?90-110) and at the timber-beamed, 500-year-old
Angel Posthouse and Livery
, 91 High St (tel 01483/564555; A?150-200).
The High Street area offers a fairly routine range of
eating options
-
CafAŠ de Paris
at no. 35 (tel 01483/564555; closed Sun), a busy French-style brasserie in a listed building, offers three-course meals from around A?14 - while
Olivo
, at 53 Quarry St (tel 01483/564555; closed Sun), is an innovative
focacceria
serving delicious regional Italian dishes, housed in the town's sixteenth-century dispensary. Guildford's better
pubs
include the
King's Head
in Quarry Street, with a courtyard and inexpensive meals, and
Ye Olde Ship Inn
, the town's oldest hostelry, on Portsmouth Road. Other useful information
