The Secret Garden - West Sussex

The Maple Manor Hotel

"The hotel is rather out of the way but no issues if travelling by car. Check-in was quick, simple and easy. Breakfast was cooked to order and excellent with plenty of choice including fresh fruit, ham, cheese, pastries, cereals and a great cup of coffee from a proper machine. Negatives Sadly there is no option for evening meals meaning having to drive into Crawley to get dinner. The bar is supposedly open until 11pm however when I went to it around 9.30pm the reception which doubles up as bar and breakfast area was dark with the only light on being the reception desk light, so very unwelcoming and not conducive to wanting a drink. The main part of the hotel is solidly built however I was in the annex at the back which has a number of rooms backing onto each other. The stud walls are incredibly thin and it felt like the people in the adjoining room were in mine, so note to oneself, if ever staying there again, make sure that the room is in the main part of the hotel."

"We stayed here for one night on a trip to gatwick and left our car for 2 weeks which was great The room was lovely with tea coffee hairdryer a fan as it was a little warm The bathroom was tiny but did its job We walked to the pub about 10 mins away and the food was lovely We would definatly stay again if flying from gatwick as it was good value for money "
