We loved the quiet and the location and cleanliness. Staff was super helpful upon checking in. Slept great and was super close to the airport. No elevators for luggage
This was perfect for one night before our early flight from Gatwick!
Easy access, helpful staff and close to airport!
Will booking again in the future!
Recommend to everyone 👌
Fantastic property. Clean, easy self check in, great communication, close to the town to grab a bite to eat and on a bus route for the airport.
We had one night as we had an early flight. Perfect property and good price, we would definitely stop here again
Checking in was smooth, communication from the lodge was clear and useful. Upon arrival, the place was decent, staff was very kind and helpful. However, cleanliness is not top notch; found a spider in the bed, fan was visibly very dusty and some dirt on the walls. Also, remember to travel with your soap; provision for this was very little.
The room was very well appointed, but as it was next to the reception it was a little noisy. The staff were pleasant. Well worth the stop to catch a flight from Gatwick.

Great to know yr car is safe on the premises. Staff excellent. Near to airport and very near to bars and shops. Although a little dated serves its purpose.

Great location, clean and quiet room, easy check in and out. Perfect stay for a few hours sleep before an early flight
Great location with parking. Check in was smooth and the staff polite and friendly.
Lovely room, super clean with all amenities you could need, towels, shower gel, kettle etc.
Only down side was the light up fire exit signs on the wall next to the bed, it didn’t bother me but my other half struggled to sleep with it.
We would absolutely stay again and have no qualms about recommending it.
Top tip, the Turkish restaurant “Shiraz” down the road is excellent. Less than 5 minute walk, the food is delicious, amazing cocktails and the loveliest, friendliest staff I’ve come across for a long time! This has become our pre holiday tradition now.
This is an older guest house with limited facilities situated in a charming village just minutes from Gatwick Airport. There is no elevator or AC and the rooms are very small. In the room there was an electric kettle and provisions to make a cup of tea, no coffee. The staff was very helpful and carried my bags to the 3rd floor, The cab cost $23 from the airport. The village center is a 5 min walk with a variety of restaurants and shops. I had a one night stay, with a 20 hour layover, and for the price I was very satisfied.

Clean and comfortable room. Close to airport, Ideal for overnight stay.
My stay was great - the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Really convenient if you are planning on either going to Gatwick or returning from, with bus routes and taxis available nearby. Would stay again, thank you.

Basic clean hotel, friendly staff and room comfortable enough, perhaps bring your own pillow as lumpy. Excellent location and 7min walk from station, buses 30sec walk away to Gatwick. Ear plugs probably a good idea as you can hear the water system. Amazing value
