Liked: Room comfort
Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
I arrived really late, but luckily they have an option to manage that. But unfortunately the room had a really bad musty/cheesey feet smell. I also left before reception opened so I was not able to discuss it with anyone. My room was top of the stairs second door on the left. Besides that it was clean.

We used this for one night between Devon and flight to Prague. Brilliant. So clean, tidy and efficient. Everything we needed. Close to town centre for walk, beer or food. So close to brilliant bus service to Gatwick. Just right👍

Handy for the airport. On site parking, though you need to pay extra for this. Room has a handy wall mounted fan. Shops and restaurants close by. Pretty reasonable price. Comfortable bed.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Outdated

Very much outdated house, creaking floors, stairs and doors, being alone I felt like in a horror movie at first. At least I saw other ladies being by themselves too, that gave me a little bit of comfort. But I heard every single move, people going up or down the stairs, movement in other rooms, people getting up and leaving at 4 am, I did not sleep much. Towels were not provided so I had to get creative lol. Just wanted to spend the night close to the airport before I flew out the next day but I do not recommend.

2 night stay

Hotel is just 5 min drive from Gatwick which was great. Room quite small but fine for just me for a couple of nights stay. Furnishings a bit out dated but clean enough. Bed was comfy. £5 fee to park per day which is reasonable. Would use again
