Hidden Gem outside of London Gatwick
This overall was one of the best experiences I have had.
Owner went out of his way to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Even charged my cell phone for me when my phone died due to bringing wrong converter.
Staff was also warm, inviting and most welcoming. Food was unbelievable!!! Definitely will be back.

Really good, but road noise detracts
Nice, well appointed room away from the pub, but the room opened into the pub garden and the roads on all sides are pretty busy / noisy, be aware.
The breakfast was excellent.
The staff were lovely, but this is not a spot for a quiet retreat.

Cowdray Arms
Really friendly staff. Very comfortable room with private bathroom. The pub has 3 converted single storey stables that have been turned into guest accommodation. All the amenities you could ask for and the bed was very comfortable indeed.
Great choice for breakfast also.
