we are a family of 4 with 2 boys aged 10 and 12 .we booked this guest house/ hotel with little knowledge of the area .
it was very well located for the airport and the town
the owners are warm and friendly and the hotel clean with spacious rooms even though we were unable to sample a proper breakfast because of our flight time arrangements a variety of cereals ,pastries,yogurts ,fruit ,juices and drinks were made available to us in the dining area.
on site parking was right next to the property and enclosed from the road

if we travel from gatwick again we will be staying here

My best friend and I traveled to the UK last summer and our final three days we stayed at Staith House. We were warmly welcomed at the door and were shown how everything was set up and what we should do. We asked about traveling into London and our hostess gave us excellent advice.
The train station is a SUPER short walk from the house (less than 5 mins.) and it takes you directly to Victoria Station. The rooms were lovely and while the breakfast was simple, it was still quite tasty.
Getting to and from the airport was also a breeze--Staith House has a car service that you can use for 5 pounds--our driver was friendly and right on time for when we asked him to pick us up. I just really loved my stay...in fact, I'm taking my mom to London and Paris in the spring and I am planning for us to stay at Staith for our London visit.
