Gatwick hotel / b&b

Could anyone recommend a hotel or b&b near Gatwick airport?
We don't need parking, just somewhere clean within easy reach of the airport via shuttle or taxi.

    Is your mind set on a B&B? Have you thought of an airport hotel. Premier Inn for example have several around the area and one at North Terminal which ranks highly on Trip Advisor.

    Another vote for the N. terminal PI. If your lucky you'll get the £39 saver rate. Don't worry if your flying from the S terminal as the free shuttle is just over the road too.

    If you as looking for a good deal lastminute.com often has top secret hotels at Gatwick, managed to get the Sofitel in July for about half the Sofitel website price.

    The Hampton Inn is also convenient and can be a good price.

    Premier Inn, North Terminal.

    Once we've dropped our bags in the room, we get the train to Horley [2 minutes], and go to Wetherspoons for a meal and a beer or three.

    Booked the Premier Inn. Didn't see the post about last minute until too late. Never mind.

    Since Lastminute.com are now owned by Bravofly and seem to have poor online reviews, I would say you were fortunate to miss that one.

    Good call on the Premier Inn North Terminal.
