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.

Cute pub, not great for Gatwick travellers.
This is a very cute pub. However it is not really appropriate for people travelling from Gatwick. Breakfast is not available until 8 so if your flight leaves before noon you will go hungry. The evening I arrived their kitchen was down and the closest pub is a significant cab ride away. The staff member that greeted me was very kind and suggested breakfast at 7:30 but that did not happen. I left disappointed by the lack of service. Also the pub is on a very busy, noisy road.

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.

Great pub/hotel with the rooms being in converted outbuildings. Service was great as was the food and drinks. Room was comfortable with no problems from pub garden noise. Bathroom could have been cleaner and the shower door didn’t quite work. We’d stay again. Perfect for a overnight before a Gatwick flight or channel crossing

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.

The Team here are very welcoming - always an “extra mile” for reviews. Dinner was lovely and the room splendid. No bog standard coffee machine here but a jar of rich ground brew and a cafetière for two. No long life milk pods but Properly fresh creamy milk in the fridge. Lots of blankets, good bed linen and powerful hot shower. Nothing fell off or apart - often a standard feature of a pub hotel. The Cowdray has been beautifully fitted out with good solid stuff. Very happy! Thank you Team Cowdray.
