The Old House Inn

towel rail Stayed for dinner My husband had fish and chips the skin was left on the fish I also had a fish dish with a sauce which as bland Disappointed with the food Breakfast was not until 8am so we did not partake as needed to leave for the airport As the airport parking was yards away breakfast should be earlier no alternative was provided

Had a fantastic stay here prior to an early flight. Lovely welcome and we ate in the pub which was delicious-highly recommend and the service was excellent too. We needed to leave too early for breakfast and the team were kind enough to put a little continental pack together for us. Will absolutely stay again in future

Excellent property, super food and very helpful staff. Would certainly stay again.

Probably should not be open Sunday night for hotel as bar closes at 6 and no food after 4 which was a surprise. Poor breakfast with a bacon sandwich inexplicably including balsamic vinegar. Taxi to and from hotel (to Gatwick)£25-£30 each way.

Loved my stay for one night before a flight! It was so perfect - the room was clean and spacious, the breakfast was wonderful, and the staff was very friendly. Will for sure be coming back!

delicious restaurant. Only stay led 1 night due to a layover overnight at Gatwick, was perrct location to get back and forth from the airport while enjoying a relaxing night

Fantastic place to stay, especially if you’re on the way to Gatwick. The journey in the morning was easy but it’s not so close that you get aircraft noise. The welcome was friendly, the staff very helpful, the rooms were beautiful and so was the food in the restaurant. We had a very good breakfast included. There’s a lovely garden and plenty of footpaths nearby for good walks. Our upstairs room’s bathroom had a stylish freestanding bath which could be difficult to get in and out of and had a shower spray rather than a separate shower, but the room downstairs was very accessible so it’s still a great place for anyone with mobility issues. Highly recommend

Worst stay I have experienced this year. Located by a very busy road, no ear plugs provided which meant I got very little sleep. No wifi signal in the room. Room was dirty and needs a total refurb. No water pressure in the bath/shower Broken toilet seat Breakfast is only from 8AM which is unusual for a hotel located near the airport. Chef had not arrived so I left and no refund was offered. At £170 per night there are much much better options in the area. Horrible experience

This is a truly charming and welcoming place. We arrived in the very early hours, almost at dawn, having flown in to Gatwick on a slightly delayed flight. Booked in advance and having contacted the owner they arranged everything perfectly for us, including adding an extra bed which was made up in advance and looked very cosy. The room was spotless, with a Mediterranean feel combined with an olde English coaching inn. Very comfortable beds, soft linens and gentle fragrances. It must be a very popular place, judging by number of tables arranged in the pretty and well maintained gardens, and no wonder. Breakfast was served in a charming series of interesting old rooms and I noticed that each group of guests were seated in privacy, despite the extra work that that meant for staff, ensuring that everyone was well attended and comfortable. Really felt welcomed and refreshed. The weather also played a part, with sunshine and a gentle breeze bringing us the smell of thyme and sage as we walked back through the garden. The extra work involved in keeping small table-pots of herbs alive in summer shows their attention to detail. My only regret is not having arrived earlier or stayed longer so that I could try out the freestanding bath, which looked extremely inviting in our bathroom. Only a short drive from the airport it is a lovely welcome to England, and at least while we were there, not directly under any flight paths, just trees, butterflies and birdsong. Thank you!
