Watts Chapel

Down Ln, Compton, Guildford GU3 1DN, UK

4.8 (81 reviews)

P: 07711 566458

If a burial ground could ever be described as "romantic and beautiful" it surely has to be Watts Cemetery, the peace of which is disturbed only by the intrusive noise of traffic from the busy nearby A3 major road. Ancient sinking graves with faded family epitaphs lie midst random trees and mossy meandering paths, in contrast with more recent elegantly headstoned additions. Of course the magnificent Grade 2 listed terracotta Romanesque Revival themed chapel and memorial cloisters provide a huge attraction for thousands of admiring visitors.This is indeed a tranquil location with an almost mystical atmosphere in which to spend time wandering in thoughtful spiritual reflection!

The Art work of G F Watts and his wife Mary Seton Watts is simply breathtaking.

Watts Chapel is a true spectacle, situated in an unexpected location that adds to its splendour. The stunning art deco reliefs captivate with intricate details, creating a visual spectacle. The architectural structure exudes powerful femininity, making it a unique and empowering experience. A real hidden masterpiece, Watts Chapel beautifully combines art and architecture to leave a lasting impression.

If you're looking for something unique, please don't miss this chapel, even if it's just 5minutes out of your day. Incredible architecture which is well explained inside the Chapel. Have always found the space unlocked to enjoy. We parked at the nearby Watts Gattery and took the short 5min walk there.

What a beautiful setting and artistic achievement! The creativity, thoughtfulness and craft of this little gem made our day. The nearby artist village had a lovely café and fantastic arts shop. Lovely afternoon.

Giggleville Soft play

Just took my son for his first time at the soft play, it was very clean and my son enjoyed it. We also used the cafe facilities which was good too. It is small but there's enough to keep them busy. My son is nearly 4 I think the soft play is good for 5 and under. We have good fun, especially with the ball pool and trampoline

My daughter had an amazing birthday at giggleville! We had visited near her birthday and knew that this was the venue we wanted for her mermaid party. The staff are very accommodating , informative, approachable & pleasant, and the party had been easy to book and set up without any issues. The venue is decorated beautifully and is very clean and well thought out, other parents had commented on the relaxed but fun nature of the place and had told me they wanted to come again. The set out of the soft play means that you are able to keep an eye on your little ones without having to venture in to check on them (unless wanting to). Furthermore, as a coffee lover I must add I found the coffee to be better than Costa or Starbucks!! Just to say , Thank you for having us and we look forward to coming again!

We booked Giggleville for our Son’s 5th party and he had a great day! The party was Pokémon theme and the room had all been decorated amazingly! Everything was ready for when we turned up and the staff also tidied up so we could leave once the party had finished. The children had such a fun time playing in the soft play and I’m sure we will be celebrating more birthdays there. Would definitely recommend!

We booked Giggleville for my daughter's 4th birthday party and could I not recommend it enough. Communication from Anastasia was fantastic, nothing was too much trouble and she constantly kept me in the loop. When we arrived the venue was clean and decorated beautifully, with balloons and a birthday banner plus party music to add to the atmosphere. They'd really thought of everything including a tables for presents and party bags. The party room set up for eating was gorgeous and the food was devoured by all (we went for the pizza/ sausage rolls/ crudites/ muffins option). They also catered for all dietary requirements including children with nut allergies, those who were vegetarians and for someone who was vegan. Everyone had such a great time (especially the birthday girl)- we had so many compliments about the venue from the parents and I'm sure they will be returning in the near future. Thanks to the Giggleville team for a brilliant experience.

We celebrated our daughter’s 3rd birthday party at Giggleville and thought it was the perfect venue. The size of the space is ideal for birthday parties. Great side room for the kids to have the birthday food and cake: Also plenty of room for the adults to sit round the soft play for a tea / coffee. Staff were extremely helpful with any questions beforehand and any set up on the day. All the work is taken care of for you for a stress free birthday party. Most importantly the kids had a fantastic time.

One of the best cafe. Such a great service. I been given full info about what sort of cold cafe they do, how they do etc. On the top I have tasted some traditional Greek pastries. Yummy. Truly recommend this place. The service make it most and the café...top. Just to add - popped in 05.11... disappointed

A delightful independent coffee shop with charm. As well as serving up great coffees, this place had a fantastic selection of Greek sweet and savoury foods, all locally produced and super tasty. The guys behind the counter were welcoming and took the time to explain the different food available. An authentic coffee shop with bags of character. Well worth a visit if you are wondering through Guildford

A lovely, hellenic (Greek) café in the heart of Guildford! Dimitris and Nikos are so friendly, kind and treat you like their friend! I ordered a fresco espresso, which is actually what is called FREDDO ESPRESSO, in Hellas (Greece). Tasteful! They also offered me two pieces of greek bougatsa🇬🇷❤️ In store, you can find many traditional products like "petit four", "bougatsa", cakes, etc, but also ice cream for dogs! 🐕 Totally recommend it! Have fun x

This is the only cafe I go to during the week. It’s not too far from my office but if it was closer, I would be getting coffee in the afternoon too. Staff work so hard here and I really love the food. Traditional pastries, savoury and sweet but also fresh paninis if I don’t fancy a pastry. I put a 4 star for food, not because of quality, but because I think salads would be a nice addition to the menu. No where in Guildford does it so it could be a big win! Wouldn’t even have to be hugely gourmet ones. And maybe smaller pieces of bougatsa as an option too next to large portions like the kataifi but that’s a minor thing. Thank you for all the nice convos while waiting for food and making everyone feel so welcome. If the food wasn’t so good I might’ve had time to take more photos. Also let me use my travel mugs :) Efcharisto!

So staying in Guildford for a few days. I wanted to try something different other than McDonald's or your standard chain. I found this after searching Google with great reviews, I knew I was expecting high things. Walking in it's a great atmosphere. I order the breakfast baguette with chips. I didn't have to wait too long and the portion size was great and not to much and not too little. There is an outside area with a roof to cover from rain etc. Also, the inside is nice and very well decorated. There is one toilet and it also has baby changing facilities. Overall, I really recommend and worth having a trip too, maybe a short walk from town but well worth it. If I'm back in Guildford, I'll be back.

A great place to have a treat breakfast on a Sunday morning! We had a veggie breakfast and a mini breakfast. The 'mini' is pretty substantial. Good table service, and a nice busy atmosphere. A repeat visit was even better! Really consistent good service.

We love this place. A hybrid of service (counter, table &/or both) which never disappoints; they’re quietly attentive. The ingredients are expensive, the portions are generous & the prices are very reasonable. Coffee is exceptional. We just love it all.

We stopped by for breakfast and I tried the Plucky Breakfast. It was delicious, and the bacon was definitely the highlight, it was perfectly cooked, which is rare to find these days. The staff were warm and attentive and the cozy atmosphere was just the cherry on top!

We had a great experience here the other day. This cafe restaurant was busy so we had to park a newlands corner across the road. The staff were friendly and even though it was busy the service was quick. We both ordered burgers for lunch, which cost £16 each. My own burger was the plucky pheasant beef burger, with cheddar and chilli jam. This was a mighty burger, that had a great taste, texture and was filled with toppings. It came with crispy french fries and a salad. Loved this burger! My other half ordered the Southern fried chicken burger which was also good, though not as epic as the beef burger. Worth knowing this is a dog friendly cafe, and at busy times like this there were about 10 dogs in the tented area where we were seated. All well behaved and a joy to see 😀 Updating based on our second trip here, as ever great atmosphere and place to get some excellent food. This time around I had a Moroccan lamb sandwich which was superbly tasty, my other half had the chicken panini which she wasn't too impressed by. The salad dressing looked a bit strange but worked well flavour wise . We sat indoors to order lunch, it was cosy, the staff were friendly as usual and food arrived promptly.

Emailed to book for lunch on 30/12. Responded quickly confirming our booking. As ever the welcome was warm, the service excellent and the food delicious. Highly recommended as ever. I love that you have such a great choice of small plates and large dinners along with a good selection of yummy cakes.

First time came and amazing village… we had latte and duck (which is full)breakfast which was very delicious. What amazed me was the breakfast was hot till half way through as I ate slowly… lol. Anyw, that was super tasty for me. The whole experience was lovely and we planned to come back again some time in the near future.

Had a lovely breakfast at the dabbling duck. The staff were all very friendly and service and food could not be faulted. There was only one fly in the ointment. We sat inside the cafe as did a lot of dog owners. My friend has allergies and is a bit wary of dogs so it was a bit off putting to her. They were also all a bit over excited and ‘talking’ to each other which made it hard for us to converse. I’ve no objection to well behaved dogs but not everyone feels the same for various reasons and they are not necessarily just being intolerant. The Dabbling Duck has a large heated marquee outside as well as covered heated outdoor seating. Would it not be a good compromise to welcome dogs only to these areas and keep the small inside seating area pet free. Other than that small niggle it was a lovely brunch before a bracing walk in beautiful countryside surrounding Shere.

Great coffee shop hidden in one of the tranquil narrow path ways of Guildford high Street. Great food served in a very tiny setting which gave us a little bit of a squashed feeling. But in general it was a fantastic experience, gorgeous coffee and a lovely Mother's day treat.

Lovely food and coffee in a beautiful old building. Upstairs there are sofas. Be aware that the staircase is a bit steep and there are low beams. We have been here a few times and I would recommend their pancakes. The atmosphere is great however if you go in the winter, make sure you wrap up warm as it is a very old building and the heating isn’t great. In the summer, they do also have a bit of outdoor space. I would definitely recommend.

In my opinion one of the most underrated places to get a coffee in Surrey. The head barista really knows his coffee and they have a great selection of cakes. I asked for an espresso but was told it would be more like an aeropress/drip style. I was happy with that as I have one at home. I was recommended strength 6 and have to say it was very tasty. For cake, I had the white chocolate, pistachio loaf which again, was very nice. Service was friendly, fast and informative. Can’t ask for much more. Highly recommend.

What an incredible, yet somewhat accidental find! Pinnocks is the most wonderful little cafe in the heart of Ripley. I wanted only to find a quick cup of coffee but what I found was an exquisite beamed ceiling and slate tiled floor, lovely farmhouse tables, a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Beautiful foods, perfect for a light lunch. There’s the gentle hum of conversation, a fresh produce delivery brought through… and what I was offered was not just a cup of coffee…At risk of sounding like a line from Rowan Atkinson in Love Actually…. This is SO much more than a cup of coffee! There are 7 different beans to choose from depending on your ‘roast’ preference. I chose Ethiopian and received a mug… Normally I prefer a cup, (because I’m a fan of delicate drinking!) but this wasn’t a chunky hunk of china. It was plastic and yet it didn’t detract from the coffee taste at all. Absolutely delicious! I cannot think of a better place to escape from the rain and enjoy an hour or so…I might be coming back for tea…

Fantastic place for cyclists to stop for a cup of coffee and a snack, or a full on brunch. Plenty of seats outside and 2 floors inside. There is a place to park bikes outside, too! Plenty of room all in all and no need to book in advance. Wide selection of cakes, pastries, scones and sandwiches, salads, what have you. Absolutely everything was delicious, and I loved your porridge. Thanks a lot, will definitely be back!

There’s a charming café in my area that I’ve been visiting for several years now, and every time I go, it brings me so much joy. It’s not just a place to enjoy a good cup of coffee; it’s a space where friendships are made and cherished moments with loved ones take shape. They offer a small selection of delicious snacks—simple yet incredibly tasty. As for the coffee, I always like mine prepared a little differently than most, and they never fail to deliver an amazing taste every time. What truly makes this café special is the friendly and welcoming team. Today, in particular, I was impressed by Bogdan, a kind Ukrainian barista who has been working here for a while. His warm service and attention to detail finally inspired me to leave a well-deserved positive review and write a few kind words about this wonderful place. You guys are doing an outstanding job, and I wholeheartedly recommend this café to anyone looking for a cozy spot with great service. Wishing you all continued success—keep up the fantastic work!

Such a great coffee shop. My husband is a coffee snob and highly recommends the authentic and variety of coffee here. The people were very friendly as well. Only lost a star because there really isn't any seating (I understand it is limited to their space) but great idea to have two ordering stations to keep the shop from overcrowding. Wish there was one closer to us!
