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.

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.

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
