Never had to have an overnight stop for a connecting flight at LGW before, as we usually fly from Manchester. Due to family size and ages, this would have meant booking 2 rooms at one of the big hotel chains. Saw guesthouse in local paper, read reviews and gave it a try. Received full instructions from Tony as we were... more

We arrived near Gatwick after dropping my mother at a Heathrow Hotel. We had been given directions by our previous B&B hosts--unfortunately they read "near Heathrow" and "near Gatwick" and inputted that information instead of the addresses of our accomodations. After @ an hour touring the Heathrow area and getting my Mom checked in we were exhausted. Didn't realize that... more

We made a reservation at Southbourne Guest House due to location and price. The house is situated a five minute cab ride from Gatwick airport and they offer free transfers from 0930 to 2130 hours. Southbourne Guest House is only half an hour by train into London and a twice hourly service is available from the local railway station in... more

I have stayed at Southbourne Guest House on numerous occassions this year and would recommend it to business and leisure travellers alike, for its proximity and easy access to Gatwick airport, its warm welcome and friendly atmosphere, its excellent service and first-class breakfasts, and its clean and comfortable rooms. more

Our stay in London was the best of anywhere thanks to the quality of this terrific Bed and Breakfast. It is a five minute walk from the Horley train station to London and we loved not having to haul bags through the train/tube connections to a downtown hotel. It is quiet, efficient and comfortable. We would definitely stay there again. more

The friendliness of the owners was evident from the moment I phoned my booking to the moment we left after being picked up from the airport by the owner. Our room was very well kept and had the usual guest house facilities. They don't provide dinner at the guest house, but there's a decent choice of local restaurants and pubs... more

This was our third stay at Southbourne and it was just as good as the ones in 2006 and 2004. The rooms are so clean and comfortable. I dont think I have stayed in a cleaner hotel or guest house. Once again Tony collected us from Gatwick (as we had travelled there by coach and had dropped our cases off... more

This was my second stay within a few weeks as I was visiting Horley on business. This is by far the cleanest guest house that I have ever stayed in - it positively gleams! Find some dust if you can! The proprietors are friendly and helpful and provide a free pick up service from Horley or Gatwick rail stations/airport. I... more
