This popular pub/hotel was busy on the Friday night we stayed, but that did not detract from the service. Our room was provided with two fans and so it was nicely cool.
The TV was not working, but the manager succeeded with one channel.
The B & B breakfast was very good and vegetarian/vegan/ gluten-free options were available.
There was a garden area (busy on a Friday night) with a pizza shack and children’s playground.
All in all a very good experience for us two elderly people.

Lovely overnight stay for morning Gatwick flight; perfect for Cophall airport parking (300m away!) Staff very friendly and welcoming. Gorgeous food in bar for dinner. Really nice room & comfy bed.
Only disappointment was that breakfast not available until 8am, which we had paid extra for when booking, not realising this - we had to leave by 8am.

Good place, but the bed had a mind of its own!

We arrived late in the evening and so phoned to check on late access. They sent me instructions and an access code to get in. I would say the room was shabby chic, there was a well stocked pot with tea, coffee, sugar etc. The unfortunate thing with bed was that it was on casters so when you tried to get into it the bed moved away from you. (suggest putting the casters in something to stop the bed moving) The morning breakfast and service was absolutely great. If I fly from Gatwick again and use the same airport car park we will visit again.

This is a great place to stay, if you like pigs. It's a great place to stay if you don't. The rooms are in a separate buildng and not above the pub so quiter (some of them do overlook the pub garden). The pub is fine with good food and excellent service. The menu goes above standard \"something and chips\"and is well presented.

Good hotel and pub

The Hotel and Pub is nice, good selection of food and drinks. Car park was very busy. We stayed for one night, the room was nice however we were woken up at 2:30am to a fire alarm, after around 10 mins it was turned off. There were no staff for the hotel overnight just one of the chefs there and when we asked what happened with the alarm overnight they wouldn’t say. Other than being woken up in the middle of the night it was a nice room and a nice pub

This is a wonderful little inn. Missed my connecting flight out of Gatwick and needed a place to stay. Got a room here and loved it. The pub has a lovely atmosphere and good food with a large lovely outdoor seating area in the back. Don't skip the dessert. I just can't recommend the pavlova highly enough. It's Amazing. As far as the room goes, the bed was very comfortable and the room was quiet. The best thing about this place is the service. The inn's staff is incredibly friendly and really goes the extra mile to accommodate their guests. I'll definitely be back.

We arrived here around 10 in morning because of a flight. We planned to see if we could leave our luggage here until checking at 3 so we could explore. They so happened to have a room available and put us in there instead right away. Our room was very clean and comfortable. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Good quiet alternative to stay near Gatwick airpor

Nice room, quite hard mattress and not a huge bed, standard double I think. Restaurant food was ok, I ordered checken and ham pie which was mostly empty and a bit bland, however overall everything was okay. Service fine and overall good experience.

Good but could easily be better

Upon arrival, I was greeted by a friendly gentleman who showed me up to my room. The room was of good size with a reasonable sized bathroom. However, there are a couple of points that need attention. Even with the lights on, the room was quite dark and the area where the desk was located was even gloomier. It wouldn’t be an issue if there was a lamp on the desk. The plug sockets are all in the wrong place and there are no USB points. Trying to recharge a laptop, an iPad and a phone overnight was quite a challenge.

The staff were all very pleasant and restaurant service was quick and efficient. The food isn’t gourmet but it’s a popular destination. However Breakfast was extremely good.

According to a sign in the car park, the Curious Pig is under new ownership. With a little bit of imagination, the Curious Pig could offer a very good alternative to the larger bland hotels in the area due to it’s close proximity to Gatwick Airport.

I would certainly stay again.

Stayed one night for an airport stopover. Convenient as there is free parking,good food at the location and close to Gatwick. Rooms were comfortable and provided extras. Just found lugging a heavy case to my upstairs room hard work. Staff were very attentive and the manager helped me out of a bind by lending me a charging plug

Found by chance as needed somewhere to stay after visiting a Christmas Lights event. Under new management 3 weeks ago and undergoing refurbishment. The bar and restaurant gave been revamped and a cozy atmosphere and good food. The rooms are a little tired but a work in progress and have a lot of potential. The bed was comfy and the room was adequate for our stay. The breakfast was delicious abd a good choice on the menu
Friendly and helpful staff and will definitely go back.

This stay was absolutely amazing. The rooms are great, beds comfortable and the food was simply fabulous!

What really sets this Inn above others is the wonderful and caring staff! Two staff members were particularly noteworthy.

Our evening hostess was Ashley. She was unbelievably awesome, bubbly but also attentive, friendly and efficient. Wow!

Our morning hostess was Christine. Again, wow! She was yet another lovely and friendly lady that had booked an amazing table for our anniversary supper the first night!
As a side point, the food was also fantastic!!!

Top notch. We will be recommending The Pig in the Parlour to our friends and family!

Okay, but room for improvement

The room was excessively hot. Not much they could do, very hot night and the tower fan provided couldn’t really cope.

Breakfast was frustrating. Paid in advance for two English breakfasts but when choosing a cheaper option from the menu (wasn’t made clear there were alternative options than that given in advance) nothing could be done.

Exceptonal one-night stay!

This was an excellent place for a 1-night layover! Uou have to walk through the pub to get to the reception area, but I was greeted promptly ang help with my bags up the steps to my cosy room. Check in was super fast, as there was no wait.

I got dinner which was extremely tasty! Beyter than I expected and a huge portion. I didn't get breakfast as I had to leave early for the airport. The staff called to arrange an early taxi pick-up which I greatly appreciated as I only had international data access.

The room was super well laid out and clean. The bed and bedding was exceptionally comfortable. I am a very light sleeper, so this and the blackout drapes helped. There is no phone in the room, but there was one in the corridor. Staff were not on hand early in the morning so I had to manoeuvre suitcases down 1 flight of steps. I was able to simply leave keys to checkout. I will stay here again unless I have more luggage. I was travelling with one medium suitcase, one carry-on suitcase and a back pack. Tge wifi worked excellently as well. I will rate this place a 9/10.

Run down, Drab and not what it used to be.

Sadly, Martson have let the place run into the ground. What used to be a beautiful pub with EXCELLENT food, is now drab, run down and average at best. Food was weak, drinks were meh, prices still reflected an A* pub.
rooms had light bulbs out, flakey paint, holes in walls, noisy floorboards in the rooms above.
Overall it's not terrible, it's just run down and needs some life putting back into it.
