I got stuck in London on my way to Greece with my daughters due to an issue with my daughter’s passport. Luckily we found this hotel. These lovely people went above and beyond to assist us, including offering us a discount for the next night, giving us an assortment of food without charge when we were too late to order breakfast and lending us their own phone chargers. What a difference that made to a very stressful situation! And the hotel is lovely! A beautiful historic farmhouse, very nicely decorated, very clean and comfortable. It is also extremely convenient to the airport, and directly on the bus route. Oh and they also arranged for a taxi for us to the airport. - Sam, I am so sorry we were running late that morning and to have disturbed you! —Don’t hesitate to stay here if you need to be by the airport - or even if you don’t. It is also a great place to stay with kids as they have a very nice yard with a great swing and some balls around. Thank you so much again, Oldlands Farmhouse!

A beautiful family home with a gorgeous wing on the side for guests. The #3 local bus is a 5 minute ride from Gatwick airport and drops you off at the driveway. Lovely walks nearby and a few restaurants within walking distance. Sam texted with me ahead of time to help get me to the correct bus, then met me at the front door and showed me around to the side entrance for guests. It opened into a beautiful sitting area with sofas and books. The guest bedrooms with private bathrooms are tucked off of the sitting area.

Nothing wrong with the property. It’s wonderful. Make sure you leave plenty of time to catch the #3 bus back to Gatwick. The return stop is across the street and down a little from the driveway. I ended up waiting 30 min in the rain as the bus did not come for one of its scheduled stop times. Thankfully it’s so close it didn’t matter for me.

The room was spacious, the gardens were lovely and the listed building had lots of character. There was a nice pub/ Indian restaurant across the street too. The owners were really helpful and made us feel like welcome family going over and above.

We were there for an extended stay and a small fridge in the room would have been nice but this was more than made up for as one of the hosts made sure we hade frozen ice bottles for my husbands ice machine every morning.

The owner Sam was so lovely, and so passionate about her property. We loved hearing about the history of the grade II listed building, and if you're a fan of the Tudor period, this place is for you! The outdoor area is amazing; it was so safe for our little one to play and explore, seeing deer in the morning too. We really liked the library area too, and lots of thoughtful touches for guest experience. Booked for husband's birthday, and upon hearing this, Sam upgraded our room. Thank you again Sam!

Tired of cookie-cutter British houses and corporate hotels? This is an owner-run, rehabilitated old farmhouse where Elizabeth I used to stop to water her horses (the exact room is used for guests), very tastefully refurbished from its previously dilapidated state. The owner/manager, Sam, will take pleasure in showing you its historical features, priests' holes, different architectural styles, etc. There is a yard, good for little kids (but not fenced in); It is located off the beaten path but just a few minutes by bus or car from Gatwick Airport (bus No. 3 to the south, stop at the Greyhound Pub, the inn is across the street from the pub and easy to find). You can probably walk to/from the airport in about 40 minutes, a utilitarian and not too pleasant walk (over the bridge, it's an industrial zone; best to take the No. 3 bus through it). The neighborhood is composed of individual homes, each with its own style, which is refreshing after a week in the UK, where architectural monotony reigns. Comfortable and very esthetically pleasing rooms, good heat and hot water, comfy beds.

No breakfast. But there is the pub across the street and a café about 10 min walk away. You can also order a call-in breakfast for 7gbp, but Sam herself doesn't recommend it. Also, a walk around the neighborhood (10 min to the Parson's Pig Pub, recommended by Sam) is interesting (houses) but somewhat dirty (some garbage in the woods) and along a fairly high-speed country road (40mph limit) with narrow, often broken sidewalks (not good for wheelchairs or elderly but fine for others). Lastly, it is very near the airport, so you can occasionally hear jets taking off, but the noise is not too loud, the windows are fairly soundproofed and the plane traffic stops late at night.

This is a brilliant location if you're flying from Gatwick Airport. We made use of the parking whilst we were away which was a very reasonable cost, safe and secure. We stayed in the Hepburn room which was cosy and warm. Loved that we had a kettle with tea & coffee too. Less than 10mins from Gatwick by car. If we use Gatwick again we'll definitely stay here. Owner is lovely too. Thankyou Sam

Minor issue was that the parking space was really wet / muddy where they've had lots of rain.

We loved our room, beautifully decorated and furnished. Really clean and spacious. Beds were really comfy for all of us. Location is perfect for Gatwick. But the best thing of all was the host- made us really welcome and helped us with everything we needed for a perfect stay. We would recommend to anyone but especially those travelling with small children as you would not get that service in any large chain hotel. Great experience and we will book again

Nothing bad to say at all

Great location for an early flight overnight stay for North Terminal Gatwick. Took about 7 mins by taxi ( Alpha Cars , booked for 4.25 am, arrived 10 mins early and very polite driver) advise booking taxi, if used , a week or so before hand as very busy at that time in the morning !! Property has a country vibe although so convenient. Lovely stay and so reasonable! Paid to leave our car there for 8 nights, brilliant! Lovely and helpful owner.

Liked everything! Would book again x

A few weeks before arrival Sam called me to go through the details and couldn’t have been more helpful. Everything went smoothly and we were greeted by Satti on arrival. Sam had mentioned we may be able to upgrade if something bigger was available and it was we had a lovely room big enough for 3 adults and our son, it was very clean and well decorated perfect for our needs. Parking is cheap and easily available, travel to Gatwick is easy from a bus stop very close to the front drive. If you are flying early from Gatwick - STAY HERE!

Excellent service in a family run 500 year old farmhouse (take that into account and manage your expectations of the building). Breakfast, if you want it is a pre order box delivered to room. There are cafes nearby for those that want a full english. Location is great for both airport and Crawley with off road parking. Location is quiet.
