Records indicate the building dates back to the 13th century, though the current structure largely reflects renovations from the 16th and 17th centuries. Traditionally a coaching inn serving travellers along major routes into London, it has maintained its role as a community pub for centuries. It is noted for its timber-framed architecture and reportedly contains several period features internally. In recent years, The Star Inn has become a venue hosting regular live music performances, focusing on genres like jazz and acoustic sets, alongside its traditional pub offerings. It is a Grade II listed building recognized for its historical significance within Guildford.
