All Seasons Guest House Gatwick & Airport Parking: an honest guide

Check-in from 2 AM, a 24-hour bus stop one minute from the door at £2–£3 per person, and family rooms up to 40m². The hosts earn warm praise. But reviews are sharply divided on room condition, and you may be asked to pay by bank transfer before arrival — so read this before booking.

Guest house overview

All Seasons is a guest house at 95 Povey Cross Road in Horley — the same road as the Holiday Inn Gatwick and Travelodge Gatwick Central, so check the number when your taxi arrives. It's roughly a three-minute drive from the airport.

Three things genuinely stand out. Check-in is listed from 2 AM, and guests confirm hosts welcoming them at 2:30 in the morning after delayed flights. There's a bus stop one minute's walk away running 24 hours at £2–£3 per person, reaching the airport in about ten minutes. And the rooms are large — family quadruples at 40m², with interconnecting options.

The hosts — named in reviews as Hassan, Zavrina and Muhammad — are repeatedly praised for warmth and flexibility. But the ratings are the lowest of any property in our Gatwick series apart from Europa and Ramada, and the negative reviews are serious rather than trivial.

The ratings — a split verdict

We'd rather show you the full picture than an average that hides it.

For context in our series: Oldlands Farm scores 9.0, Hookwood Lodge 8.5, Little Foxes 7.3. At 6.7 with every subscore under 7, All Seasons sits near the bottom. That doesn't make a stay here bad — plenty of guests are delighted — but it does mean the variance is high, and you should book accordingly.

Check-in from 2 AM — the genuine strength

This is the feature that earns All Seasons its place, and guest accounts back it up convincingly.

If you're landing at 1 AM and facing a long drive home, this solves a real problem. Several better-rated properties nearby have unstaffed receptions overnight — Stanhill Court had a guest arrive to find nobody there. Here, late arrival is the specialty.

The bus — £2–£3 per person, 24 hours

A 24-hour bus one minute from the door is arguably better than Oldlands Farm's celebrated £2 service, because local buses there don't run through the night. Combined with 2 AM check-in, All Seasons is unusually well set up for awkward flight times. Confirm the current fare and night-service timetable, as guest reports differ slightly.

Rooms & sizes

Room sizes are published and — for a budget guest house — generous. All are on the first floor with a window, private bathroom, refrigerator and tea-making facilities.

Interconnecting rooms are available so families can stay together — genuinely useful, and rare in this bracket. One guest travelling with a husband and two teenagers said their room was "massive". But reports conflict: another described their room as "relatively small, but the price is cheap", so rooms clearly vary. For comparison, Flexistay Ambers' standards are 66–88 sq ft (roughly 6–8 m²), so even the smallest room here is far bigger.

The honest counterpoint: a guest reported beds falling apart, with screws hanging out of a metal bed frame in a family room — describing two of the double beds as unsafe. Another said mattresses need replacing. Check the beds before you unpack, particularly if children are sleeping in them.

Parking — and a disputed charge

We can't adjudicate that dispute, so we're reporting it as what it is: one guest's account, alongside the official rate of £7 a day. The practical advice is the same either way — get your parking terms in writing before you arrive, including whether any charge applies to the night of your stay as opposed to extended holiday parking. At £7 a day the published rate is still competitive, though higher than Trumbles (£4–£5) or Flexistay Ambers (£5).

Payment & booking — read carefully

This is the combination we'd want you to think hardest about: a bank transfer paid before arrival gives you far less protection than a card payment, and this is a property where some guests have had to demand a room change. If you book here, try to pay by card, get the parking and breakfast terms in writing, and keep a record.

Facilities & services

Accessibility & suitability for elderly guests

Helpful points:

• Large rooms — up to 40 m², with space to manoeuvre
• Several rooms have a private entrance
• Bus stop one minute away; taxi booking service at the desk
• 2 AM check-in and flexible arrival times reduce pressure
• On-site parking; shared ground-level lounge and garden
• Hosts repeatedly described as warm and accommodating

Cautions:

• All listed rooms are on the first floor — ask specifically whether ground-floor rooms exist and whether there's a lift
• No accessible-bathroom specification is published
• Reports of unsafe beds and mattresses needing replacement
• Hairdryers and showers described as needing upgrading
• Not walkable to the airport — around 35 minutes on foot

Suitability verdict for elderly & less-mobile guests: we'd advise against unless you've confirmed a ground-floor room and step-free access directly. Rooms being listed on the first floor with no lift mentioned, combined with reports of unstable beds, makes this hard to recommend for anyone with mobility or safety concerns. Four Points by Sheraton or Travelodge Gatwick Central are better bets.

Insider details

Check the room — and the beds — before you settle

Given one guest found dried blood on sheets and curtains and another screws protruding from a bed frame, a two-minute inspection on arrival is the highest-value thing you can do here. Guests who asked to be moved were moved. Do it before you unpack, and before the hosts go to bed.

Get parking in writing

The published rate is £7 per day, but a guest reported being asked for £10 even after paying for the room. Confirm in writing what parking costs, what it covers, and whether the night of your stay is included.

Try to avoid the bank transfer

Booking.com indicates payment before arrival by bank transfer may be required. That's a weaker position than paying by card if anything goes wrong. Ask whether you can pay on arrival or by card, and keep the correspondence.

The 2 AM check-in plus a 24-hour bus is a genuinely strong combination

For a 5 AM departure or a 1 AM landing, few places near Gatwick are better set up: arrive at any hour, then take a £2–£3 bus from a stop one minute away. If price and timing matter more to you than décor, that's the argument for booking.

Confirm breakfast

Sources conflict. One summary mentions complimentary breakfast and a guest praised a "great breakfast"; another guest states plainly it wasn't included. Ask when booking, especially if you're leaving before dawn.

Mind the road

Povey Cross Road also hosts the Holiday Inn and the Travelodge. Give drivers the number — 95 — rather than the road name alone.

WiFi coverage & signal strength

Free WiFi is listed in all areas. Signal-strength-by-area detail isn't published — confirm with hotel, or share guest reviews and we'll add specifics.

Our honest verdict

Book this if timing and price are what matter. A 2 AM check-in, a 24-hour bus at £2–£3 from a stop a minute away, big family rooms and £7-a-day parking make a genuinely strong practical package — and the hosts clearly go out of their way for people arriving in the small hours.

Don't book it if you need certainty about room condition. The negative reviews here aren't about thin towels; they describe soiled bedding and unsafe beds. Most guests don't experience that — but enough do that we'd be doing you no favours by burying it.

If you book, do four things: ask to pay by card rather than bank transfer; get parking and breakfast terms in writing; tell them your arrival time; and inspect the room and beds on arrival, asking to move if anything is wrong. If you'd rather pay a little more for reliability, Hookwood Lodge rates 8.5/10 with free parking and self check-in at any hour, and The Corner House rates 8.6/10 with 24-hour transfers.
