This is the second time we have used this hotel. The first time was a year ago when we found the staff polite and helpful. I understand that it has since changed hands and our second stay there this year in January was not up to the same standard. We found the staff abrupt and unhelpful. The driver of the... more

I am very glad I chose to spend the night at Gainsborough Lodge instead of waiting around at Gatwick for 12 hours between flights. The taxi ride there only took five minutes and I had a very restful sleep. The room was very quaint and homey - if you like ultra-modern accommodations you won't like this place.

I stayed at the Gainsborough Lodge for 1 night in between flights. I found it to be excellent value. It is small, clean, very close to Gatwick. I did not find it to be noisy at all. Nice, friendly staff. Very nice breakfast. more
