Formerly a Tudor coaching inn, this oak beamed building is situated just two miles from Gatwick Airport in Sussex. Central London is a 30 minute train journey away on the Gatwick Express to Victoria Station. Traditionally decorated, the 104 guestrooms are designed to be in keeping with the rest of the hotel. Bright colors are mixed with traditional style furniture and deep blue carpets. Bringing guests right up to date, satellite television and pay movies provide in room entertainment.
Guests can dine in the air conditioned setting of the Kingsley Restaurant. Here a menu of mainly French and English dishes awaits, after which the adjoining cocktail bar will get guests in the party spirit. Alternatively, Chequer's Bar, an Elizabethan style pub with exposed timber beams and open fireplace, provides a more intimate dining option. Guests wishing to avoid the bustle of London can venture in the opposite direction towards the south coast, towards the Victorian resorts of Brighton and Hove, in a journey time of about 40 minutes by train.
