Food and room was excellent
The only think that could be better is the water pressure in the shower. That’s all. Rest is excellent
Cozy, great food, very comfortable and great space outdoors
Everything was good
So convenient for Gatwick, without being on the airport. Clean, comfortable room and very friendly staff.
The room smelt of dog, which wasn’t great. Water pressure in the shower is terrible.
Location, big car park
Maybe it was us it felt slightly uncomfortable
Wonderful stay. Staff very friendly especially in the evening. Rooms are beautiful. Breakfast is served late - from 8am. Staff told us off for being 5 mins early. Pity as the evening before the staff were outstanding.
late breakfast service
It was delightful. The bedrooms and breakfast was excellent and we felt very welcome. The staff were very helpful and obliging.
We could hear other guests and there were unpleasant strains on the carpet in the room for the venue.
Excellent staff , easy check in and good food
Hotel a little isolated , no local village or shops to walk to but we knew that when booking
Very close to the airport, big garden to play with the children and food was very tasty. The rooms are really nicely decorated - they have personality, definitely not your standard bland holiday inn. We were off to a great holiday start :)
The window latch was broken so we could not close it completely. There was a bit of noise from the nearby airport but was not too noticeable.
Cleanliness of room - the oldy worldly aspect of inn - helpfulness of staff

Nice place, great helpful staff, gluten free readily available, atmosphere
Certain areas could do with cleaning better. Food was first class the first night, but not so good the second (but was recompensed which was nice)
The room was lovely, perfectly clean and lots of attention to detail. The staff were helpful and friendly,we had dinner and breakfast here and both were lovely. We stayed as we were attending a wedding nearby and the location was brilliant.
The breakfast was amazing, proper coffee and small cafetiere in the room was a perfect touch.
Beautiful ensuite room, very clean and charming. Cookies and fresh ground coffee available in the room. Amazing fresh baked pizza's (2 for £20) Polly and Tess were AMAZING 👏 and made our stay.
Room cleaning was inconsistent, weekend staff were young and quite aloof/unattentive, Breakfast was also inconsistent, weekend was not hot and overcooked. Food and drinks prices were generally expensive, but seems to be the area not just this place.
Great sized room, friendly welcome and lovely staff, fantastic dinner and breakfast, great location and beautiful building.
The room, the location, the old house, the lot
Nothing, but wish I could stay several nights
We were greeted by friendly, helpful staff. Check in was smooth. The bedroom was perfect with some little touches which made it feel cosy and very comfortable. The bathroom was modern with a large walk in shower. The service throughout our stay was first class and food was delicious.
Good sized rooms. Very quiet, despite proximity to the airport. W had a nice evening meal with drinks but did not have breakfast. The Bed was comfortable. Shower room was a good size
It was not expected (it was not documented, but the accommodation would benefit from air conditioning, but that's not a negative. Some drawer in the room would make things easier.
Easy access from car park , friendly staff, comfortable bed
On a busy road, housekeeper didn’t do a very good job - towels were all wet and didn’t empty bathroom bin
Très bon accueil. La chambre était spacieuse et bien décorée. Nous avons dîné sur place le repas était excellent le petit déjeuner également.

We liked everything! The staff, particularly in the dining room were extremely friendly and supportive. Brilliant!
Tiene mucho encanto, la habitación es muy bonita, grande y cómoda ( no hay aire acondicionado y con la ola de calor era demasiado calurosa, eso sí ) Hay hervidor y cafetera con leche fresca; el jabón, crema y champú son de buena calidad. Mi habitación daba a la terraza, agradable, bonita y animada sin ser molesta, al contrario. Atención a la comida aquí: buenísima, como los cócteles . Es muy buena opción si se quiere estar cerca del aeropuerto pero sin estar en esos hoteles tan fríos e impersonales. Y el personal fantástico
La falta de aire acondicionado pero se entiende porque es Inglaterra y el calor no ha sido habitual…me temo que eso está cambiando .

Beautifully renovated and amazing outside space excellent food options and quality.
The bathroom wasn’t as clean as it could have been.
Perfect location 2 minutes away from the park and ride. Gorgeous room
We weren’t there long enough!
Home from home
The walls were a bit thin between neighbouring rooms
Hoge prijzen en wilden drankjes.direct laten betalen, niet op de kamer, na aandringen kon het. Net iets minder
Everything, from the moment I arrived to leaving, the staff I met were just great and my evening meal and breakfast were excellent. My upstairs barn conversion room was wonderful, will 100% stay again when next in the area.

Lovely large room with big shower and excellent bed. Clean, fairly quiet and very comfortable. Super friendly staff at breakfast which was great. Dog friendly too.
Nothing all was good
Liked the room decor. Lots of character in the old building & again lovely decor.
No issues
Great staff, food excellent

Frühstück fantastisch. Zimmer sind liebevoll eingerichtet. Dusche hat den perfekten Wasserdruck. Sehr sauber und die Betten nicht durchgelegen.
Unser Zimmer war sehr laut - die Straße sehr laut zu hören. Das andere Zimmer war sehr ruhig, das sollte man beim buchen beachten.
Lovely spot, with beautifully appointed rooms and friendly staff
Bar closed very early even though world cup football was on, which was bit disappointing. Also no Air Con didn't help.
Some of the best service i have ever had in the UK, comfortable bed with everything we needed including fresh coffee/cafetiere, fresh milk, fan to keep the room cool and even nice toiletries. We also had a fabulous meal in the beer garden! Really good value for money!

BREAKFAST
Came down for a function at the property, Food provided was really nice and the room was cosy and well equipped would stay there again if i was in the area and i would highly recommend as i never sleep well in hotel rooms however this one was so comfortable i slept really well
Toilet brush in the bathroom needs changing as it was very dirty
La habitación es realmente amplia, baño enorme. Cálida binevenida por el personal, amiente agradable en la terraza para cenar y tomar cervezas. Realmente la calidad relación - precio de lo mejor que hemos encontrado en nuestro viaje por Inglaterra. Hemos pagado muchísismo mas dinero por habitaciones enanas y menos confortables. Elegimos el hotel porque nuestro vuelo salía muy temprano desde Gatwick y fue un acierto. Cenamos unas pizzas buenas y cerveza, peto tenian cocina con platos elaborados con muy buena pinta. Tiene amplia terraza que en verano es un gran acierto. El aeropuerto esta a menos de 10 minutos en coche y el hotel está en una zona residencial muy tranquila.
Nos tocó un vecino de habitación realmente ruidoso, pero eso no puede controlarse..........es cuestión de educación de cada persona.
A fantastic stay just above a fantastic pub! We had a lively stay at the Old House Inn, renting the top bedroom above the beer garden. The room was spacious, clean and simply fantastic. We loved it as we had an early flight from Gatwick it was perfect for us.
Staff and owners were above and beyond kind! Property was even more beautiful than in the photos. The courtyard behind the pub and in front of the rooms was so cute and all the flowers smelled amazing. I wish we were there for more than one night. Breakfast was delish and although they don’t typically do desserts at breakfast we were celebrating my daughter’s 18th birthday the same day we left to the airport but they brought out a brownie and icecream! Staff stayed late to welcome us on arrival because our train was delayed and even helped us set up transportation to the airport the next morning. Would definitely stay again!
Wonderful, super-clean, character-filled stay with a great staff and excellent breakfast so close to Gatwick, at a very reasonable price.
Friendly staff, excellent room set in a renovated barn away from the main building and close to the car. Ideal for our plans for a next day flight from Gatwick airport.
Staff excellent. Place clean and comfortable. Very good.
The interconnecting door lets every sound through. EVERY SOUND
Clean, staff incredibly helpful and friendly and even brought two fans to my room during the hot weather

Very lovely place to stay, staff were amazing and the breakfast was superb, the room was stunning and we are definitely going to book to stay here again.
Lovely old fashioned country pub with a great bar and restaurant. Room was very clean, the bed was very comfortable and the shower was excellent. Very high quality coffee and tea were provided and the bar served a highly commendable selection of beer and wine. Food was excellent and there was plenty of parking. Wife was bowled over with how good this place was.
Nothing - great place
Schönes altes Pub in sehr guter Lage in der Nähe vom Flughafen Gatwick. Das Essen war sehr gut, die Zimmer schön eingerichtet, ein bequemes Bett und an sich recht komfortabel. Großer Parkplatz und ein sehr schöner Gastgarten.
Der Wasserdruck in der Dusche ist quasi nicht vorhanden, kaum Ablagefläche. Außerdem roch es in dem Zimmer etwas unangenehm.
Lots of parking & spacious outside seating outside area. Old, quirky interiors. Spacious, comfortable room. Large bathroom. Clean. Friendly staff.
Bit haphazard check-in. Not enough staff behind bar. Breakfast waitress obviously not experienced.
Beautiful English cottage with traditional feel and warm , accommodating friendly staff. Best croissant ever and batter on the fish and chips outstanding 😋
Everything was faultless. (Not very often we can say that!) lol
Breakfast was a disappointment staff abrupt and abrasive attitude
Break was poor after staying previously and having an amazing experience which prompted us to rebook to be left feeling disappointed one member of staff was abrupt and negative in her attitude but the manager was the saving grace and refunded one breakfast would stay again if I could be sure not to engage with this particular member of staff
Very original old English inn
Shower could be more powerful
loved the room great dinner satisfying breakfast
I cannot find falt with anything
Location
Slow service & staff were generally disinterested & unhelpful.
Room was lovely spacious and comfortable. Bed was really comfortable slept really well. Good supply of Coffee etc and fresh milk. Great breakfast and had the Friday night Steak offer for 2 with wine which was really good too. Service was brilliant couldn't fault anything. We decided to stay 2 nights as had a wedding on the Saturday and long journey from home.
It was all good couldnt fault anything.
Lovely staff and newly taken over ... very friendly managers . Excellent sausage breakfast bap .. I mean really good.... room lovely but thin ceilings... I was put in disabled room and some minor feedback taken on board .. as I suggested another hand rail .
A minor issue of eggs not runny but resolved.
Perfect location for Gatwick. The staff accommodated our very late check in and early breakfast, and were extremely helpful and kind!
This hotel was a wonderful find - infinitely nicer than staying at Gatwick airport itself and every bit as convenient, being a two-minute drive from one of the long-term parking sites (Cophill).
Nothing not to like!
A very nice room with good size bathroom and great shower. The pub is also a good place to have dinner. The food is very good and the staff very friendly. Excellent place to stay the night before flying out of Gatwick on an early flight- only a 10 minute drive to the terminal. Cheaper than many at Gatwick and easy if you do a meet and greet car pick up. Second time we have stayed here and will stay again.
You do hear the next door rooms, but not a lot they can do about that.
The room was excellent, modern, clean and comfortable. Lovely hotel, delicious food and great family friendly beer garden.
Close to airport off site parking

Typisch british, von außen wunderbar urig. Wir haben hier für eine Nacht auf der Durchreise geschlafen. Toller Biergarten. Sehr gemütlicher Pub. Sehr schönes modernes und sauberes Zimmer. Frühstück a la Card. Sehr lecker.
Der Flughafen ist sehr nah. Die Flugzeuge sind nicht zu überhören. Ohrenstopfen helfen 😁.
Breakfast excellent, ladies serving it extremely nice and very friendly to us and our dog! Room great and location good
Nothing!
Close to parking for holiday to Gatwick Airport
Difficult to say, only there for 1 night
Very clean and tidy. Spacious rooms and comfortable. Good location for our visits to Hever Castle and Tulleys tulip festival. Good outdoor seating area.

Nice and relaxing
Na
We had Dinner in evening which was good home cooked food with excellent breakfast / coffee in morning . Lovelly Old Pub with friendly staff .
The room was nice and location was great
We did not realise that there was an option for a first floor or ground floor room - so although the room was nice we had someone staying in the room above and they were up in the night so really noisy. You could hear everything! We also noticed that the gardens were extensive with an optional bar area right outside the rooms so if you stay in warm weather be prepared for a noisy late night! The food was not great - it was over cooked and really very poor value for money. I had monkfish tail and mussels and there was very little meat on the tail and over half the mussels had no mussels in them!
TV remote was not working. Staff could not fix it.

The place was OK - there was no sound insulation between rooms. The food was inedible. The staff were good though.
Food. Sound insulation.
Our room was very spacious and well appointed.
We were staying on Easter Sunday and were disappointed that there was no evening meal available.
The room was large and comfortable. Good amenities in the room. Breakfast was good quality and very tasty, the staff were fantastic and really make the place stand out. I look forward to staying again in the future.
Made a nice change from the corporate hotel chains.
Food was good quality but expensive
Cosy, welcoming, lovely room, great restaurant.
Pillows a bit hard but everything was perfect apart from that.
The Inn was lovely, friendly staff and scrumptious food. A pleasant place to stay.
We stayed as had an early morning flight to Gatwick. The only gripe would be that the room upstairs had really creaky floorboards but that did quieten down after a while.
Lovely staff, nice room, good value for money
Closed the bar on Sunday at 8 o'clock also we wanted 2 twin beds and we're given a double, noticeable for 2 gents
Very friendly staff, lovely large comfortable bed and large shower room.
Location, cleanliness and room size were great with beautiful bathroom
Double bed was 2 singles brought together and ridge was obvious - an extra thick mattress topper would have been good
No milk in room
Wir fahren gerne in die Butcombe Hotels. Das Personal war sehr zuvorkommend und das Zimmer wie immer sehr sauber und komfortabel. Besindersgut gefällt uns das Essensangebot abends und das Frühstück.
Sehr freundliches Hotelpersonal. Gemütliches Zimmer mit einem komfortablen Bett
Hübsches Haus, nostalgisch, gemütlich und sehr freundlich.
Es gibt nichts auszusetzen!
Beautiful place to stay ! Fantastic staff, particularly Luke who has excellent customer service skills and went out of his way to help us. It was an extremely difficult time for us, as we were visiting for my brother's funeral. I couldn't fault the accommodation and would definitely stay again. The food was also delicious in the evening 😋. Thank you everyone for making our stay as easy as possible xx
Very comfortable room and good evening meal
Great location near to airport parking. Very comfortable room. Friendly & welcoming staff. Delicious breakfast
The staff were helpful and friendly. The room was lovely and warm and clean. Breakfast was tasty and good choices.
Evening meal was superb
Outside area of rooms
The staff were so friendly and welcoming. The gluten free fish and chips were amazing! The room was very comfortable and breakfast was yummy, would highly recommend.
Nothing, all A1.
Our room was called Stubbins on the 1st floor. Very spacious and very comfortable room. The bed was particularly comfortable. The room was spotless and well kept.9
The room, Stubbins, could have done with more storage space or drawers for clothing. The built in wardrobe/cupboard was ham packed with a folding occasional bed, ironing board and iron, leaving scant space for hanging a suit and jackets. The outside wooden staircase, although sturdy, could have done with a little TLC.
Comfortable bed.
Loo not clean on arrival. Non functioning shower extractor fan. Only one wall socket. Early morning (6:30am) overhead wake up from planes taking off from nearby Gatwick Airport.
Firstly, all the staff were most welcoming, friendly and very helpful. Has a good carpark area with adjacent garden patios & lawn. We enjoyed both an evening meal and breakfast in the Inn/pub, adjoining the accommodation outbuilding. The menu choices for both meals were varied, food was well presented, tasty and very enjoyable, providing great value for money. The accommodation - room including ensuite, was very comfortable and well fitted out with facilities e.g. TV, radio, tea/coffee making equipment, iron & board and, suitcase stand.
Nothing to comment.
Breakfast was great and the staff were very attentive
A minor issue, but the plumbing was noisy
