Across recent reviews, woodcock inn is praised for friendly, welcoming staff, generally clean rooms, good value, and an on-site Nepalese restaurant that many guests enjoyed for dinner and convenient meals after travel or local outings.
Common downsides include traffic and internal noise, some dated or basic rooms with comfort issues, and occasional maintenance or cleanliness lapses such as cobwebs, limescale, tricky windows, or slow or limited hot water. The location is somewhat isolated on a main road, handy by car for Gatwick and local events, but walking options are limited and taxis to the airport can be costly. Expect a straightforward base suited to short stays.

Facilities
The attached Nepalese/Himalayan restaurant is a strong plus, and parking is available though sometimes tight or unclear for brief stops.

This was a great value stay. Efficient and friendly reception, shown to my room, spacious room, good shower, porridge and cereal bar given for breakfasts in the room (as well as the usual tea and coffee), proper coat hangers and a quality large kettle. Minor inconveniences would be that it can be difficult to see where to park (very temporarily) and it takes a good couple of minutes to get hot water from the hot water tap over the sink. By the way, the menu and restaurant look great.

My room was clean although dated. The inn does not do breakfast, however they do provide pots of instant porridge and energy bars. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and carried my suitcase to my room. Now for the best part. The Inn is attached to the Gurkha Nepalese restaurant. The food is top notch with attentive staff, but not in your face. I strongly recommend the 5/6 bean soup for the starter. The dogs danglies.

We had a comfortable stay at this Hotel.The staff were very nice. We had a car parking space. No problem. Before we checked out the following morning, we had a delicious english breakfast served by a very attentive gentleman. We will definitely visit again. Ideal location for visiting West Sussex. The Woodcock Hotel included The Ghurkha Restuarant. Shame we didnt have time to have a meal. Great.

Booked for an overnight stay before flight next day. No issues to locate. Gatwick a 20 minute drive (no traffic). Lots of pubs and eateries in the area - by car!! I can’t imagine walking anywhere from the woodcock as it’s country lanes. Hotel restaurant is very convenient. Menu prices as expected. Indoor and outdoor seating service is prompt and no waiting around. I think this place is popular amongst locals in the area (?). we liked the wall mounted smart tv, kettle / tea / coffe milk in the room, and the soap, shower gel and shampoo provided. Room is cosy and clean enough. Would’ve liked a couple more hooks to hang jackets towels etc. No air con in our room but the 2 fans were helpful. Very warm inside the room in the summer! Open windows and the noise from fast moving vehicles may keep one awake - our room 15 front facing. Check out is straightforward- leave the key in the box on the way out. Parking for over 10 cars at least from what I could see. Would use this hotel again in the future.

The expedia.ca rating for this place is TOO HIGH. This place is dismal, old, tired, run-down, terrible, and in the middle of nowhere. There were holes in the duvet cover on our bed. We barely had any hot water in the shower no matter how we fiddled with the taps (so, yeah, cold showers it was!?). When we cked out, we needed to call a taxi, and the reception was not even open. Thankfully, there is a mechanic shop next door, so we went there to use their phone. If we had not have pre-paid for 2 nights, I would not have even stayed one night. However, as soon as we checked in, I was on the expedia.ca site & got an agent to help get the 2nd night refunded, by using the site's chat feature. I was soooo thankful not to have to stay here a second night. Expedia really needs to ensure their ratings match the reality of hotels. The rating on the site when I booked was 8.6/10. I would not even give the site a 1/10 rating!!

Set on a main road in an isolated spot, it suits drivers, with limited walking options and some road noise. Gatwick and venues like Lingfield are reachable by car, but taxi costs can add up.

Easy parking and staff very friendly. The room was poor, with lumpy mattress. There was very little sound proofing and very noise from road, guest coming and going. Window in room didn’t close properly.

Booked for an overnight stay before flight next day. No issues to locate. Gatwick a 20 minute drive (no traffic). Lots of pubs and eateries in the area - by car!! I can’t imagine walking anywhere from the woodcock as it’s country lanes. Hotel restaurant is very convenient. Menu prices as expected. Indoor and outdoor seating service is prompt and no waiting around. I think this place is popular amongst locals in the area (?). we liked the wall mounted smart tv, kettle / tea / coffe milk in the room, and the soap, shower gel and shampoo provided. Room is cosy and clean enough. Would’ve liked a couple more hooks to hang jackets towels etc. No air con in our room but the 2 fans were helpful. Very warm inside the room in the summer! Open windows and the noise from fast moving vehicles may keep one awake - our room 15 front facing. Check out is straightforward- leave the key in the box on the way out. Parking for over 10 cars at least from what I could see. Would use this hotel again in the future.

This was a great value stay. Efficient and friendly reception, shown to my room, spacious room, good shower, porridge and cereal bar given for breakfasts in the room (as well as the usual tea and coffee), proper coat hangers and a quality large kettle. Minor inconveniences would be that it can be difficult to see where to park (very temporarily) and it takes a good couple of minutes to get hot water from the hot water tap over the sink. By the way, the menu and restaurant look great.

Stayed here for 2 nights while visiting friends. Although on a main road it is in an isolated spot. It did not come with breakfast they did leave cereal bars and porridge pots. The rooms were clean and tidy but with a mismatch of furniture. The food in the restaurant was excellent, very tasty.

My room was clean although dated. The inn does not do breakfast, however they do provide pots of instant porridge and energy bars. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and carried my suitcase to my room. Now for the best part. The Inn is attached to the Gurkha Nepalese restaurant. The food is top notch with attentive staff, but not in your face. I strongly recommend the 5/6 bean soup for the starter. The dogs danglies.

We had a comfortable stay at this Hotel.The staff were very nice. We had a car parking space. No problem. Before we checked out the following morning, we had a delicious english breakfast served by a very attentive gentleman. We will definitely visit again. Ideal location for visiting West Sussex. The Woodcock Hotel included The Ghurkha Restuarant. Shame we didnt have time to have a meal. Great.
