The pub is found in Mugswell, Surrey, CR5 3SQ.

A traditional 16th century country pub. It boasts two main bars and a restaurant plus conservatory, all with large fireplaces for a welcoming, homely feel. The interior is decorated in keeping with the character of the 16th century building. Five cask ales available, In the Good Beer Guide 2013. The Well House Inn is named after the main feature of the gardens, St. Margaret's Well. The well is apparently mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. It is still actively used to this day. The local village, Mugswell, also takes its name from St. Margaret's Well. Over the centuries the area became known as Magswell before eventually becoming Mugswell. The buildings which make up the pub date from the mid 1560s, during the first half of the last century the buildings became tea rooms. In 1955 Bass bought the property and re-opened it as a public house. When Bass divested itself of its pub estate The Well House Inn was purchased in 2001 by two brothers who wanted to retain the traditional character of their local pub.

We have visited this pub twice, seen 7 different beers and tried 4 of them.
