Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Gainsborough Lodge is often praised for its convenient location, being a short walk (5 minutes) from Horley town centre with its various bars and restaurants, and close to Horley Rail Station. The bus stop right outside offers a quick connection to Gatwick Airport, approximately 7 minutes away. Guests generally find the rooms clean, modern and of a good size, equipped with tea and coffee making facilities; however, some have mentioned the mattresses can be a bit wobbly. It's a quiet area, providing a peaceful night's sleep.

Convenient and Well-Located Stay

quick taxi ride takeaway food nearby eatery gatwick bus
I found the hotel to be a great distance from the airport. It was a quick taxi ride. The staff allowed us to eat our takeaways in the dining area, useful. The town centre, with many eateries and cafes, is only five minutes away. A bus service to Gatwick is available, although space is limited for large suitcases.
I noticed bare wires hanging out of the wall, and a plug socket was improperly fitted. This needs attention.

convenient location train station airport access
I found THE location very convenient to public transportation. The train station was a short walk away. The bus stop right outside made airport access simple.
i could hear noises from both inside and outside. The floorboards creaked quite a bit, and i didn't find water available late at night.
