This overall was one of the best experiences I have had.
Owner went out of his way to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Even charged my cell phone for me when my phone died due to bringing wrong converter.
Staff was also warm, inviting and most welcoming. Food was unbelievable!!! Definitely will be back.

This is a very cute pub. However it is not really appropriate for people travelling from Gatwick. Breakfast is not available until 8 so if your flight leaves before noon you will go hungry. The evening I arrived their kitchen was down and the closest pub is a significant cab ride away. The staff member that greeted me was very kind and suggested breakfast at 7:30 but that did not happen. I left disappointed by the lack of service. Also the pub is on a very busy, noisy road.

Nice, well appointed room away from the pub, but the room opened into the pub garden and the roads on all sides are pretty busy / noisy, be aware.
The breakfast was excellent.
The staff were lovely, but this is not a spot for a quiet retreat.

Great pub/hotel with the rooms being in converted outbuildings. Service was great as was the food and drinks.
Room was comfortable with no problems from pub garden noise. Bathroom could have been cleaner and the shower door didn’t quite work.
We’d stay again.
Perfect for a overnight before a Gatwick flight or channel crossing

Had a great stay in the beautiful English countryside

Really friendly staff. Very comfortable room with private bathroom. The pub has 3 converted single storey stables that have been turned into guest accommodation. All the amenities you could ask for and the bed was very comfortable indeed.
Great choice for breakfast also.

The Team here are very welcoming - always an “extra mile” for reviews. Dinner was lovely and the room splendid. No bog standard coffee machine here but a jar of rich ground brew and a cafetière for two. No long life milk pods but Properly fresh creamy milk in the fridge. Lots of blankets, good bed linen and powerful hot shower. Nothing fell off or apart - often a standard feature of a pub hotel. The Cowdray has been beautifully fitted out with good solid stuff. Very happy! Thank you Team Cowdray.

Very accommodating as we had a very late check-in time after being at a nearby wedding. Very quiet, well presented, clean. Great shower, all very warm and inviting. Everything there that you need. The most comfortable bed I've slept in since staying at the Bellagio in Las Vegas in 2012! Can highly recommend!
5.0
Really lovely accommodation, very friendly accommodating staff, delicious breakfast. We would highly recommend it and would definitely stay there again.
My only 1 teeny suggestion would be to put a shelf near the sink in the stables room, as there was nowhere close to put your wash bag. Otherwise no complaints at all.

This is a little gem of a place to stay. The room was really nice. And great food and beer at the pub. The team were great - really helpful and friendly. Will be staying again soon.

Great stay! Property has three rooms but is better known for the restaurant. Great food, beer on tap, and indoor and outdoor seating. Room was spacious and clean. No air conditioning but that doesn’t matter most of the year. Staff was super accommodating and pleasant. Mobile service is spotty but free Wi-Fi was great. Would recommend!!

A traditional English pub with an excellent restaurant and very comfortable separate accommodation block. A well run operation with delightful staff.
Although situated on a fairly busy road the traffic noise was not intrusive and in no way affected a very comfortable and enjoyable two night stay.
5.0
Excellent stay in this lively pub / stable block style hotel room.
Nice flowers and beer garden also exist.
There is some traffic noise but it won’t affect the main lights sleep as I only heard it in the morning when the country Lane traffic become busier.

Forget staying at some characterless airport hotel - stay in this is a sweet hip pub very close to Gatwick. Very nice decor, great detail, nice staff and excellent breakfast.

My stay was brief and I arrived after the kitchen had closed so wasn't able to check out the food. However, the continental breakfast was pretty good. The room was very nice, the bed extremely comfortable and the room clean. Would recommend this hotel unreservedly.
4.0
Lovely stop over on route to Gatwick. One huge disappointment was arriving Sunday at 4:30 pm to be told that the pub stops serving food at 5 and closes at 7pm. Further, the pub a dead zone for internet and their wifi was hit and miss (which left me missing a very important meeting). Apart from that, staff were friendly. Lovely continental breakfast and additions in the room such as milk and real coffee. Would stay again.

Great old style stable rooms outside of main pub building make for easy access and a great place to stay. If you need a room that’s way better than most hotels and like a little private cottage this is the place. Great coffee and a cafetière to allow for a brew and fresh milk and bottled water in a great fridge. Pub food also great, you can eat outside the room on the pub garden tables in the sun. Great for staying away with a dog.
