Stayed here for one night before early morning flight from Gatwick, nice warm room, friendly staff, left car for 8 days. Taxi service very reliable, hotel and taxi all sensibly priced, breakfast available if required, shops and restaurants only a short walk away in Horley. Would definitely book to stay here again if needed

Terrible customer service. Very rude and unfriendly! Not welcoming or empathetic.We were trying to find a place to stay quickly due to our flight cancellation.Arrived after booking a taxi in a panic, treated poorly and was ignorant. Host could have been a lot more welcoming and understanding.The room was okay but the service really let us down.Unfortunately do not recommend.

We found this B&B as an alternative to an airport hotel. Great value, especially as you only pay for breakfast if you want it - with a 4.30am departure we didn't! About an 8 minute walk from the station, parking also available. …

Located about ten minutes from Gatwick. We booked the disabled room. We set up with extra large disables bathroom. Outside ramp for ease of entry but narrow halls make using wheelchair indoors a bit challenging. On-site restaurant with great Indian food at reasonable price. Very friendly and helpful staff. Sitting area with small library and even a small bar. Highly recommend.

Stayed here for an evening with friends in Horley. Great location for the town and Gatwick Airport. Cheap and cheerful but perfect as a place to stop for an evening. Clean and comfortable. Towels were provided. Rooms had some wardrobe space and tea and coffee facilities. We will definitely use again.

This venue had a nice new tarmac drive and parking spaces. The interior however was a little dated. I was in room 4 on 2nd floor (no lift), and the noise coming from the other rooms and corridor was noticable. …

Good location, for shops, restaurants and public transport. Also very close to Gatwick airport. The hotel has recently been refurbished and received a very nice revamp. However the showers are a bit finicky and may take time to get to the right temperature. Room noise is a big problem, as walls and doors are so thin one can hear everything happening in the corridor and the nearby rooms, which means everyone coming will wake you up.

Great room, very, very clean and bright with all we needed. The coffee for the early rise was very helpful. Lovely bathroom with a super shower and proper towels. Will stay again.
