Clean and comfortable room. Close to airport, Ideal for overnight stay.
Good stay, walked from LGW to the lodge, then back in the morning (personally wouldn’t recommend most doing this I just like walking). Bed was comfy, lodge was very close to several places to eat.
Great hotel and decent sleep considering how close to Gatwick airport, ideal location.

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

Check in was very easy after 9pm. The room was decent size and this is ideal for being close to Gatwick.
My stay was great - the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Really convenient if you are planning on either going to Gatwick or returning from, with bus routes and taxis available nearby. Would stay again, thank you.
The room above mine had a very creaky floor. Could hear the occupants walking around. Other than that I would have given 5 stars. Still my Horley choice to stay.
Booked hotel as near to Gatwick for early flight. Fine for one night but was disappointed that advertised bar and restaurant but bar not open and restaurant meant you had to walk to one which wasn’t far.

Good accommodation for a very reasonable price. Excellent position for local frequent buses to Gatwick airport and access to town facilities . Pubs, shops and restaurants a short walk away.
Nice and clean, plenty of pillows. Short walk into town. Been coming here to this area a few time and used other guest houses. We will just use this one from now on it is far the best..
Nice quiet, very clean room close to shops and restaurants and the bus to the airport
