Cute pub, not great for Gatwick travellers.
This is a very cute pub. However it is not really appropriate for people travelling from Gatwick. Breakfast is not available until 8 so if your flight leaves before noon you will go hungry. The evening I arrived their kitchen was down and the closest pub is a significant cab ride away. The staff member that greeted me was very kind and suggested breakfast at 7:30 but that did not happen. I left disappointed by the lack of service. Also the pub is on a very busy, noisy road.
Nice, well appointed room away from the pub, but the room opened into the pub garden and the roads on all sides are pretty busy / noisy, be aware.
The breakfast was excellent.
The staff were lovely, but this is not a spot for a quiet retreat.
this is the third time that we have stayed here the restaurant service and accommodation are all great and all the staff are lovely

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Great pub/hotel with the rooms being in converted outbuildings. Service was great as was the food and drinks.
Room was comfortable with no problems from pub garden noise. Bathroom could have been cleaner and the shower door didn’t quite work.
We’d stay again.
Perfect for a overnight before a Gatwick flight or channel crossing
Really friendly staff. Very comfortable room with private bathroom. The pub has 3 converted single storey stables that have been turned into guest accommodation. All the amenities you could ask for and the bed was very comfortable indeed.
Great choice for breakfast also.
The Team here are very welcoming - always an “extra mile” for reviews. Dinner was lovely and the room splendid. No bog standard coffee machine here but a jar of rich ground brew and a cafetière for two. No long life milk pods but Properly fresh creamy milk in the fridge. Lots of blankets, good bed linen and powerful hot shower. Nothing fell off or apart - often a standard feature of a pub hotel. The Cowdray has been beautifully fitted out with good solid stuff. Very happy! Thank you Team Cowdray.
We stayed for one night before flying from Gatwick the next day. The staff were very friendly and accommodating; they went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. We would definitely stay here again!
Excellent location for Gatwick
Lovely large comfortable room. Very clean
Great pub and restaurant, great beer wine and food.
Lovely atmosphere, lovely staff, lovely breakfast
All in all…..perfectly lovely! Will definitely stay again.
