It was a great place for the money and extremely clean but unfortunately the bedding let it down, 1 pillow that was very small and thin and the top sheet was also small so it didn’t stay on you once you moved about.

WishIhadsleptaa, Horley England

The written directions to the house were completely wrong. Had to ask a passer-by walking his dog, how to find the address. Instead of the 10 minute walk, it more like 1/2 hour. Was not greeted with any warmth or welcome; the room was stifling hot when I entered; smelled like it hadn't been 'aired' for days. With window open there was road noise all night. She confirmed that I had asked for airport transfer but didn't tell me someone was going a little earlier. Husband had to make 2 trips one after the other.

Thank you for your review, I am sorry you were unable to follow the directions to our guest house. If you had then you would have found we are only a ten minutes walk as we explained. As we have been fully booked for weeks all rooms are air daily. You had booked your transfer for 08.15. The guest before you was going at 07.45. I would not dream of asking one of my guests to leave 30 minutes before they had asked.

Very disappointed B&B
After a long journey from East Anglia, i was met by a rather grumpy host. My checking in seemed almost too much trouble for him. On arrival i had to pay and in my confirmation it gave me the option of paying by cheque or card, but Mr Grumpy insisted that I was to pay cash, no problem i said and went in search for an ATM, which was located in a nearby petrol station. I handed over the cash and never saw him again that evening. I had to go out for an evening meal and he didn't bother to tell me that the local pub was temporarily closed due to a recent fire,it took me ages to find somewhere else to eat, i am afraid that I cannot recommend this B&B to anyone, very disappointed as it took the shine off my holiday.

The price was quite good. I was a bit sad that we rented an extra room with an on-suite bathroom so we could get 2 showers in before going early to the airport, but there wasn't enough hot water so one of us had to use the communal bathroom anyways. It wasn't the end of the world, but just too bad. The beds were pretty good.

Clean and functional. Quiet despite close proximity to airport. "Light self-service" breakfast (read continental and low quality) is too expensive for what it is. Best to eat at the airport instead, depending on your flight time. Good for those that need a low cost hotel before flying out. A good point is that transfer to the airport is included in the price.

Conveniently located. Skip the breakfast nothing fresh - everything in a cellophane package like twinkies. No coffee except instant. Only one towel per person (a face cloth would have been nice). The lift to the airport was appreciated.

The bed was super comfortable. The place had a very home-like feel about it! We had an amazing sleep, no noise during our stay. The owner was kind enough to give us a ride to the airport in the morning. Breakfast was simple, but it's also not an expensive add-on by any means. Would recommend if you need somewhere comfortable and close to Gatwick!

This is a budget Hotel and you do not get any extras. I booked a double with En Suite but got a single without. Not shown up to the room so lost the opportunity to complain immediately and was tired, as there was very few other people staying, I didn't say anything. Overall for the price it did what I required which was an overnight stay so I could pick up my daughter early from Gatwick.

We are a Victoria guest house, that's why we are old. Cut off from what? Gatwick Airport is 5 minutes by car or taxi, local pub/restaurant is 2 minutes walking.
