Built around a historic and charming country house, the Copthorne Hotel Effingham Gatwick is a 4 star hotel set amidst a picturesque parkland estate that dates back to 1841. It's distinct character sets it apart from many of the local hotels, yet we are a very convenient 10-min drive away from Gatwick International Airport.
Very close to The Hawth Theatre, The Bluebell Railway, The British Wildlife Centre and local hiking trails, we are also within easy reach of the South Coast, meaning there is plenty to do and see during your stay with us. Enjoy a 2/3 9-hole golf course, floodlit tennis courts, and a well-equipped gym too - a perfect balance of activities and relaxation. Those staying before setting off to the airport or in transit will have a perfect base to refresh, rest and prepare - making their trip even more relaxing and convenient.

Read All ReviewsThere are 3-4 disabled car parking which was a good thing for me for easy access. The check-in staff were very helpful with clean public areas were all clean and tidy staff were very helpful. Got the disabled accessible room on request. The room was spacious, clean and big. The bathroom was little bit outdated and space issue to go with wheelchair. Note this point if you are travelling with wheelchair. Accessible toilets were also available. Also the breakfast in the morning was great.
