History

The Princess Royal pub dates back to 1926 when it was built for Courage Brewery by Guy Maxwell Alwin. The building containing our Beautiful Bedrooms was built at a later date by Gales Brewery; which was acquired by Fuller’s in 1999. The entire property benefited from a full refurbishment in 2016.

Stone Age, Roman and Saxon dwellings have been found in Farnham, and as a result of such early settlement, it’s packed with historical buildings and ruins. Although The Princess Royal is relatively modern – designed in 1926 by British architect Guy Maxwell Aylwin – a Mesolithic site was discovered on the site of The Princess Royal three years before it was built.
