Breakfast was as advertised, continental one. The room was quiet and tidy. The staff was kind. For the services required, it was pretty good. I rested well and prepared for the following day. I recommend the place. If you travel from or to Gatwick apparently there is a bus nearby that goes from to the airport, or by taxi.

Such a wonderful experience at the lodge. Warm welcome at check in. Very accommodating giving us our choice of rooms to a quiet local facing the rear garden. So quiet and peaceful. Lovely town Horley, supper at the Forrester pub, outstanding English fare and atmosphere. 5 min walk from the Horley train station then 3 min to LGW for our flight.

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..

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.
