The bedrooms are always immaculately clean with a brilliant shower (or bath if you prefer) and a comfortable bed. Breakfast is served in the new conservatory and is a great place to start the day, and healthy too with fresh fruit salad a must! It's also really nice being able to sit outside in the garden on a sunny day and have a cup of tea. Mike and Lynda are both very friendly and always make us feel welcome. Its one of our favourite places to stay and we can't recommend it enough.

This is - in my opinion - one of those places you have to visit before you die. Preferably on a…read morenice sunny day in the warm months. The pub is steeped in history and that is reflected in the well kept but near un-touched interior. They have some great ales on tap and all are served with a friendly smile and, if not too busy, are happy to talk through some of the pub's history. The garden here in the summer is fantastic. The views are breath-taking and they run a barbecue every Sunday which of course, does attract a huge crowd so either get there early or have some extra bags of patience with you. We head there without fail once a year with a big group of friends and spend the whole afternoon eating and drinking beer, I highly advise you to do the same!

I've stayed here at least 6 times in the last 15 years & the standard of accommodation is 1st rate as are the cooked breakfasts - just the job to set up a day's walking, cycling or driving around this delightful island! Carol & Paul Hallums run The Lodge & go beyond the call of duty to make guests feel welcome & help advise on local events or attractions. Well worth a visit! There's a bus stop close by - Vectis Buses run a reliable service across the island & a week's pass that includes the open-top tour buses costs £20 each with family tickets also available.

Great service, very helpful, charming owners, and lovely breakfast. Very clean, nice and quite place. Short drive from a sea side, very nice pub short walk from there with a great food . Enjoyed the stay immensely and the only thing I regret is not being able to stay longer... Oh, and one more thing - absolutely fantastic home-made muffins we got with a breakfast - baked in the morning, still warm when we came down ! If I'm going to be in that part of England I will stay there again. More than sure.

It turned out to be just what I had hoped to find, charmingly unpretentious, run by a warm and friendly couple of guys who were helpful in every way, from picking me up at the train station to helping me work out transportation to and from the performances and for my travel back (I decided to stay on 2 days after the operas, to get in a bit of local sightseeing and they were helpful there too) . The food was simple and tasty, and they made an effort to please individual tastes and needs. The room was simple and comfortable, with a charming view from the window of the downs, and the bed just great. No great chandeliers and snootiness, just friendliness, helpfulness and calm, exactly what I was looking for. I certainly will go back if my good fortune takes me back to that part of the world

After doing plenty of research into Gatwick hotels and parking I fortunately stumbled accross the…read moreGables Guesthouse. They provide comfortable, basic accomodation near to Gatwick, plus will drive you to the airport in the morning. They also provide airport parking for around £4 per night. We stayed here for an early morning departure and left at around 5.30 am. They do a breakfast buffet from a more civilised time around 7am but as we were leaving before that they gave us a basket of breakfast containing croissants and jam, plus there were tea and coffee making facilities in the room. The rooms are quite old fashioned but clean and the staff were very nice. If you are leaving for the airport later in the day (I think after 10am) you have to make your own way there, plus we had to get back by ourselves. Cost us around £74 for the night and a weeks parking so worked out at fantastic value compared to the cheapest airport hotels. I would definitely stay here for an early morning departure again.

We paid £65 for the two of us sharing a room which included a fried breakfast Some of our friends stayed in a chain hotel down the road and paid something closer to £100 per room not including breakfast. The owners were ever so polite, friendly and accommodating, even when my friend broke their shower! The room we stayed in was small, however this is wasn't a problem because we were only staying one night. They also appeared to have larger rooms which would accommodate someone staying for a longer period. The bedroom was immaculate, as was the rest of the house I think possibly they have very recently refurbished the bathroom and kitchen as they looked new. I had a lovely nights sleep, and although we got back to the B&B at 02.30 in the morning, the owners very kindly gave us a key to quietly let ourselves in. Overall a lovely, clean place in a quiet area that benefits from a personal touch that is sadly missing from larger places. Almost a shame that I have no more nights in Guildford planned!

The furniture was from the 1970s with a well worn, leatherette parker knoll chair, a stand alone shower cubicle stood against the wall and the TV was the smallest one ever seen. The general feel of the room suggested an air of a very unloved OAP who had been put out to pasture in the local nursing home some many years before. The single room, was located in an adjacent property, go figure! The room's main light fitting did not work so it was not possible to even see the bed and state of the room never mind view the TV or drinks facilities. The bathroom was shared and the kitchen looked like it had seen better days as well.
