Perfectly pleasant property – all the staff were lovely and location is great – it was very rundown for the price – peeling wallpaper, threabare carpet and despite double glazing it was very noisy from the main road in the room we had. Should add the property was spotless and the breakfast was fantastic..

Very easy to get to by bus from Gatwick station or short walk from Horley station. Nice pub and Horley town walkable for food and drink. Clean, quiet, comfortable rooms, staff helpful and lots of advice before we arrived for how to get there, parking options, taxis to Gatwick etc. Well priced for accommodation convenient for Gatwick.
