Taxis run between the hotel and the airport, and the hotel is so accessible from the railway station at Crawley that the train to or from the airport may be the easiest option.

Over-stay charges

Extra parking days should be arranged at either the Long Stay car park when you make your booking, or with the Maple Manor service directly. The Maple Manor parking facility charges £10 for every extra day, but it’s best to call them for a quote.
