Park and fly Gatwick - recommendations pleas

Can anyone recommend a decent hotel or B&B where we could leave the car and get transfers to the airport? (not too dear, not too noisy, with access to evening meal)

There are quite a few places if you google, but always prefer a personal recommendation where possible.

    used holiday inn and ramada plaza along with a couple of others i cannot remember names of.

    of these holiday inn was probably the best as it was closer got a good deal and food was better.also quiet and very quick checking in and out and when picking car up.cannot remember if you had to pay for transfers though.

    Turret B and B in Horley. I paid £82 last week for a triple room inc transfers (7am to 10pm I think) and within walking distance of evening meal. On return ring the owner and she was at the airport within 10 minutes.

    I would use again

    Used Ambers Guest House in Horley in August. Owner Clive will run you to the airport and pick you up again. Nothing is too much trouble, he will even drop you off at the pub for a meal the night before. Was no.1 on trip adviser when we booked and I know why now.

    Thanks everyone. These seem good. The Turret is better on price (by about £20), btw.
