Upon arrival there was no one at reception, we had to search for someone to check us in so a slight delay, apart from this everything was great and would go back

Christmas stay
Our three night stay over the Christms period was more than adequate. A couple of points which would have made it as perfect as it could be and are: net curtains at front window as personally like to sleep with curtains open but being on ground floor at front of house and facing carpark, didn't feel comfortable on view to any passerby even though set back from road. And other thought, a morning check to fill up on teabags and milk and perhaps a packet or two of biscuits would have been nice to see. Staff were discreet but happy and smiley. Wemay well return.

Functional Lodge for Travellers using Gatwick Airp
I lodged at the property to enable me get to Gatwick Airport on time because of the proximity.
I arrived at the lodged at 4am and was out by 6.30am, spending barely 150 minutes.
I checked in with the guides to their self check in system because of my arrival time and didn't get to meet anyone because of my departure time.
However, the lodge is located for those trying to catch early morning flight at London Gatwick Airport or seeking for the ease of getting to the Airport for outbound flights.

Basic but tidy
Basic room, ok for a place to sleep before travelling to the airport. No heating on so was very cold through the night and a very strong smell of spices which was overpowering. We didn’t see anyone upon arrival or leaving.

Clean, warm room with all the facilities one would expect. Perhaps a hair dryer in the rooms might be an idea?

Brilliant short stay
The staff were very welcoming and the room and bathroom were incredibly clean, hats off to housekeeping. The corridors could do with some tlc but nothing to detract from the stay. The taxi service they recommended was fab too. I will definitely stay here again when flying from Gatwick.

5 minute drive but this was at 4am to the airport.
Front rooms noisy, and number 5 was hot (however in the colder months this would be a bonus) when I arrived the windows of the room was open, so presume it’s like that.
However turn radiator off and seems okish.
Only thing - there needs to be an additional internal lock on the door for me a lone traveller having the one lock a key chain makes it feel safer.
Parking is £8 and I was right outside in the car park so that was great.
Location great.
I used it purely to sleep before a holiday.

Sheets were dirty
There were hairs in the bed when I pulled the sheets back. I didn't feel comfortable resting in a dirty bed. Bathroom emitted heinous smell, like vomit that wasn't sufficiently sanitized. Luckily my stay was for a 7-hour layover so I just used the shower, sat in a chair and used wi-fi. My room was on the third floor and there was no elevator.
