Hotel itself was fine. Food very pub average.
Inappropriate Christina aguilera 'dirty' video playing on the big tv screen in middle of family area.
The whole point of booking it was to make our travelling to and from the Airport easier.
Despite being told on the phone beforehand that the transfer buses are very frequent, when we arrived back at gatwick late afternoon on Monday this week and rang to find out the next bus time we were told it would be over an hour wait ( not ok when having just got off a flight with 3 young children). So we had to pay for a cab.

This hotel is not good. The car parking is absolutely rubbish. We were blocked in the car park by a coach in the morning, no driver to be found. Hotel management were useless in resolving this issue.

Our bed was desperately uncomfortable, we could hear people in neighbouring rooms coming and going and banging doors. Parking it terrible and almost impossible. Very old hotel in need of some modernisation.

The double bed we had was like sleeping on a cheese grater, and there were no lifts hence lugging suitcases up the stairs not really acceptable in this day and age of health and safety.

A lovely spanish style building with an elaborate staircase.
The gas fire in the spacious lobby was little more than a focal point and did not give out much heat and when the door into the hotel opened the lobby was cold and also there were not enough seats/tables for everyone there. We were looking forward to the buffet dinner but unfortunately they only had one meat on the menue and that was gammon - not suitable for everyone. We could have alternatives if we ate in the bar which we did. The food came quickly and was good value for money and the staff were efficiet too.
The room was VERY well heated which was a definate plus.
The airport transfer service was also a very smooth transaction.
We will definately use this hotel again.
