    Quaint historic property with character. We had had the snug to celebrate a family dinner for 13 people. The food was great and the service great too

    The weather but that was no body's fault!

    We picked The Old House Inn as it was close to Gatwick Airport but not too close. The room was clean and comfortable. It was great that there was a bar and restaurant. We stayed for dinner and I really enjoyed the Pea Mezzaluna and my husband The Pie of the Week. Breakfast was included in the room rate and my husband was very happy with the Full English. The staff were very polite and courteous. A really nice place to stay.

    The green emergency exit light in the bedroom was way too bright. The hotel are aware of this and are going to endeavor to change that when they redecorate all of the rooms later this year.

    Nice room, very clean. Extremely friendly, helpful staff. Nice breakfast with excellent service

    it was a bit noisy with the planes coming over but as we wanted to be close to Gatwick for an easy drive in the morning. It was somewhat expected.

    food was amazing would strongly recommend the Sunday Roast one of the best I have had. The Atmosphere was warm and welcoming.

    The driveway needs a bit of work to flatten out the pot holes .

    I really enjoy the surroundings, all the staff are friendly, very kind and considerate of the needs of my aged mother . The food is always excellent and fresh . The property is always clean and welcoming.

    Being in a ground floor room, you can hear every single step of upstairs occupants so didn’t get much sleep

    Lovely setting both in and outside. Great food, and even better staff

    Can't say there was anything we didn't like because it was all great.

    The Old House has great character, it is a lovely pub with a great garden. The food was great and the staff were a joy. For us, it was located to Gatwick airport, but we would stay here just to check out the area if the opportunity should arise.

    Liked everything - nothing not to like

    Nice spacious room with very comfortable king-size bed. Dinner was a tad overcooked (but that's seems to be an English thing) but very nice. Breakfast was excellent. And all of the staff that we met were super friendly and very helpful

    £17 a glass of Rose- we just asked for Rose without asking the price - seems they just chose the most expensive. to serve up. Again at dinner we asked for Rose - a bottle - They bought again the most expensive at £50 . I then checked the menu and there were 3 choices of Rose on it - I changed to the £30 bottle - just be aware of drinks cost at this Pub/hotel. Other than this everything was excellent and the staff were so helpful .

    Staff lovely - room ideal on ground floor for easy access - food very good and well priced - watch the drinks costs though - expensive ! Getting to Gatwick in 10 mins - excellent taxi service . Staff called for us and everything worked so well.

    Helpful staff. We had a room with a bathroom which was spacious with a very comfortable large bed. The bathroom was also spacious but the very large bath took a very long time fill. No good it you are in a hurry. Others in our party had smaller rooms with large and excellent showers.

    Very little, maybe if the weather is good then outside is better to eat than inside?

    So convenient to the airport and Cophall parking. Great to stay in a proper pub rather than a grey box on the airport itself.
