Liked: Amenities
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.

Liked: Cleanliness
This is perfectly adequate place to stay for the one night, but not beyond that, really. It's about a 30-45 minute walk into Gatwick from there and, even though it is only 1 mile from the airport i want disturbed by the noise of planes etc, it was just the other guests who came in at about 12.45 and decided to have a loud discussion in the dining room, which was next to my bedroom

The property needs maintenance, you don’t t feel welcomed in this hotel, lack of attention to detail, requested the hairdryer and breakfast for the next day and they weee not provided, we had to ask for it again the following day. A couple talked ALL NIGHT UNTIL 4:30 am, they weee not even in the room besides us but we could hear as they talked VERY LOUD. As there wasn’t any reception we couldn’t complaint.

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..
