Great location, clean and quiet room, easy check in and out. Perfect stay for a few hours sleep before an early flight
My stay was great - the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Really convenient if you are planning on either going to Gatwick or returning from, with bus routes and taxis available nearby. Would stay again, thank you.
Great location for Gatwick airport and the room was very comfortable. Tea and coffee were also provided.

Good accommodation for a very reasonable price. Excellent position for local frequent buses to Gatwick airport and access to town facilities . Pubs, shops and restaurants a short walk away.
A really quiet place in a suburb close to the airport. Bus stop very near. The room decor was beautiful, very modern. Comfortable bed, lovely bathroom with great shower. Great communication. Would stay here again.
Great host. Clean and spacious room. Wish there was something to hang clothes/jackets. Quiet and safe neighborhood, could get really dark if walking at night. Walkable to pubs/ restaurants and grocery stores. Convenient bus stop direct to airport. Highly recommend Gainsborough Lodge.
Breakfast was as advertised, continental one. The room was quiet and tidy. The staff was kind. For the services required, it was pretty good. I rested well and prepared for the following day. I recommend the place. If you travel from or to Gatwick apparently there is a bus nearby that goes from to the airport, or by taxi.
Better than I expected and the staff are lovely.id definitely stay here again when travelling and such a good price!! We checked out late and the staff were fine and very friendly.Thankyou for a lovely stay before our flight!

Such a wonderful experience at the lodge. Warm welcome at check in. Very accommodating giving us our choice of rooms to a quiet local facing the rear garden. So quiet and peaceful. Lovely town Horley, supper at the Forrester pub, outstanding English fare and atmosphere. 5 min walk from the Horley train station then 3 min to LGW for our flight.
