Raff,
Try Little Foxes Hotel nr. Gatwick. I have only stayed there one night whilst working in Gatwick but my friend uses it regularly when going on holiday.He swears by it.

We live in the nearest town (Horley) to Gatwick and there are a number of guest houses.  The Tudor Rose do car parking and transfer, the closest I think.

There are other "posher" hotels nearer the terminal but if you are staying for one night you might not need "posh".  Horley is about 5 mins and Crawley 10-15 mins.  Travel Lodge is at Lowfield Heath en route to Crawley, 5 mins away.  the Gatwick Manor (Travel Inn) about 5-10 mins.  dont forget also that if you have a taxi after 11.00 p.m. it is more... cost us £12.00 for a taxi to home and we only live 5 mins away.

If I had the room I could do a b & b!  If you need any help for looking dont be afraid to ask.

Having looked at other places I think that travelodge is a pretty good deal... car parking can be reasonable with a meet and greet arrangement.

www.help-me-park.com  are cheap

just do a search for meet and greet at Gatwick... you dont have to pay the transfers as some hotels charge pp for that..

Can I just say a HUGE thank you to Sue for looking for some parking hotel deals for me.  She is a star. I have found one hotel which offers a room for all of us (5) and parking for 15 nights for around £120.  Does that seem good? Cant believe the parking costs! We can get it for £40 up north!!

We haven't yet started to look at Hotels around Gatwick yet!!  Parking for 21 days is about £140.  Wouldn't mind a list of Hotels that are happ to have us for 1 night then keep the car for 3 weeks.  Cheers
