We only stayed one night so only real plus point was the wildlife in the back garden ( 4 deer )

Steep stairways upto the room 3 flights property was actually flooded outside when we went to leave in the so literally had to take shoes and socks off to reach cab that was booked huge puddles over the entrance and tiny drain which couldn’t cope. Also booked the hotel as it was really close to the airport yet there is a set £25 cab fee for a five to ten minute journey to Gatwick

The building is a big old country house surrounding by beautiful countryside - very deceptive. The car park was large with easy access. I didn't use the wifi. I didn't have breakfast and there was no evening meal option. The ensuite was clean. There was a generous amount of tea, coffee and milk with refills available on a table in reception but although there was herbal tea, there was no decaff coffee.

I walked up to the main door, which was closed & was reading the notices when the door was opened from inside. A man asked me to follow him & we went to a small office where I felt I was about to be interviewed. He asked my name, gave me a key & said my room was 109 on the first floor. I then asked about eating an evening meal & he said there was a pub called the moon not far away which served good food. The pub was ten minutes away, called the New Moon & only had a shack outside for food. I walked up the stairs to my room, the man not having offered to carry my case & I am over 70. He had just said 109 on the first floor, he did not say the staircase went up had a small landing then stairs went left and right or which direction to take. There were no signs for room numbers. I did not realise that planes to & from Gatwick fly in & out ALL NIGHT very low, right over the building & right past the bedroom window. I literally could not sleep. I had to be up at 6 so went to bed at 9. At 11-45 I thought the planes would stop at midnight. WRONG. At 1-36 I googled when the planes would stop & read that there were NO time restrictions on planes in or out of Gatwick. At 2-45 it went quiet for 15 minutes & the next thing I knew I was awakened again and it was just before 5am so I had about 2 hours sleep. I could not use earplugs as I had to be able to hear my alarm, how ironic! There was a fridge in the room but no hairdryer, went back to reception, sign said reception closed. I could hear voices so I knocked & the man found me a hairdryer. Not the same as being in the room though is it? There were no USB chargers & no glasses or plastic cups in the shower room. In the morning I met another man who just smiled. He could have asked if everything had been okay but he didn't and I couldn't get out of the place fast enough. This place needs to be fitted with proper double glazing. The window in my room was ill fitting.

Cleanliness was very good. staff friendly and helpful

the breakfast at £10 was poor. Only Rice Crispies , cornflakes and coco pops. No Branflakes or high fibre serial, no yoghurts and no cols meats or chesses. ONLY instant coffee. Not what I would expect for such a large outlay.

Staff helpful and friendly. Breakfast fine. Room clean.

Bed very hard, which made it very good difficult to sleep well. Light very bright - could have done with a softer reading light

Location, check in and out

Very small room, cold with no form of heating ie a radiator or wall mounted electric heater. I informed reception who gave the only form of heating to heat the reception office, a tiny portable heater fan.

Basic accommodation very clean and staff helpful. Very close to the airport.

Quite isolated. No restaurant or bar.

The pictures on the website looked good

Rising damp in the room. Poor sound insulation. Stopped for 15 minutes and booked a travel lodge and left.
