Hotels near London Gatwick Airport - LGW, London

Great to stay for the night before our flight so didn’t have to rush in the morning before the flight. The thing that spoils Gatwick as you’ve got rid of the shops before you go through customs and there is nothing to look round at

I got to Horley just because I was flying from Gatwick airport the morning after. Booked a hotel at a walking distance from the train station and then a taxi from the hotel to the airport (about 10 min's drive, £7). I got there on a Sunday evening during covid times so there wasn't much going on down the road while I was walking to the hotel.

Owner is clearly not right in the head. Tipped pure household bleach into hot tub and swimming pool which were frothing from the bleach. Dog excrement was around lawn area from owners own dog and was there the whole time we were staying there!! Police called and arrived numerous times over our 3 night stay due to unruly occupants who were threatening other occupiers and owner was oblivious to it all as off her head on drugs and alcohol. Numerous times woken at early hours of morning by other residents. Was told it was a "one off" but apparently not the case as this went on for whole 3 nights!!! We were just too tired to leave plus had already booked to go sightseeing in London on the Sunday and no doubt everywhere booked up asa Bank Holiday so no choice but to stay or loose more money from leaving. Police in end on early hours Bank Holiday Monday gave owner a caution for breach of the peace and would be arrested if she continued! Says another about the place if that's the owner getting that! Avoid this place at all costs what seems nice at first isn't always as it makes out!!!

Nice small local shopping area with good parking, a pub and lots of people hanging out on a Friday evening. There's takeaway pizza, kebabs, fish and chips and Chinese all on a row. There's also at least three convenience stores a green grocer and a post office.

A beautiful refurbished mini Manor House. Generous sized rooms with a super king bed and double walk-in shower. The dinner and breakfasts we had were delicious and freshly prepared. In he middle of Surrey country side there was little to do apart from explore the grounds or nearby small villages The hotel itself had plenty to see and wonderfully relaxing. Conveniently close to Gatwick it also offers very cheap parking while you are away.

It is just a great airport. I definitely prefer flying from bigger airports because they are more interesting. Spent too much on food but that is kind of what you expect to do at an airport. Had some really great coffee and some slightly depressing porridge. The duty free at Gatwick is the best I have seen in terms of duty free shops.
