Bit of a cheap and cheerful go-to place when seeing friends in and around Lingfield. Rooms and decor are a bit tired these days but comfortable nonetheless. Good pub grub and ambience and walkable to alternative Indian and Thai restaurants in the village. Annoying bright green fire exit lights in the room I stayed in so bring your blackout mask!

The parking was easy. You just register it in the bar when you check in. It was a simple room. Stairs up to the rooms. We stayed here to go to the airport.

Great location & very comfortable

The Star Inn is a great place to stay, well priced, convenient for Gatwick, a good base for touring Surrey Sussex & Kent, base yourself here & have days out. Accommodation is simple but comfortable, the rooms have recently been refurbished, lovely cooked breakfast, friendly staff, & even though its a pub its not at all noisy. Will definitely stay again.

Great location, friendly staff. Ideal for Races

Booked the Star Inn as we were going to Lingfield Races. Friendly Staff welcomed us on arrival and helped us find a table in the evening after the Races. Ideal location - 10 minutes walk from the Racecourse. Great, friendly atmosphere in the bar area. Room and bathroom were comfortable. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again

2 night stay

Good stay, basic but comfortable. Had a room in the outside annex. It was awkward trying to get in and out of the bath to have a shower, there were no grab bars and the top of the bath was quite high.

Great place to stay would use the star inn again.

Really beaitiful country pub with a fantastic selection of drinks. The menu was varied and our meals were very well cooked. The waiter was great and we enjoyed our time in the pub itself. The room we had was a twin, unfortunately there were no double bed rooms left but thats ok. The beds were comfortable and clean. The room was well decorated, clean and we had tea and coffee facilities. A nice clean bathroom. All round good value. We were offered the chance to book breakfast in the morning but declined and regretted that!

Good value

We booked as had an early flight from Gatwick. Parking was very limited as we came on the night of a very popular pub quiz. Our room was a great size with a good bathroom. It was quite noisy, but that's to be expected above a busy pub, once the pub was closed it was quiet.

Great value budget accommodation

The Star Inn is in a lovely location in an up market location. Lingfield has great facilities and is the perfect base for exploring the many attractions of the area. The rooms in the exterior block to the side of the main building are compact but have everything you need. Decor is simple, clean, modern and crisp. Wi-Fi works well and the rooms have tea/coffee, tv, hair dryer etc and comfotable beds. The Inn itself has good food and a great range of drinks including local ales. The breakfast at £10 is great value. You get cerals, juice, toast and preserves, tea/coffee and a full cooked breakfast. We had the vegetarian breakfast and it was superb. Everything perfectly cooked with great quality ingredients. There is so much to explore and see in this area and we would happily return here as a base. Good value accommodation is hard to find in this part of the country and this place is a gem that combines value with quality and great, friendly service. Highly reccommended.

Stayed for one night after attending a wedding a few miles down the road. A nice little location and a well presented room. Some minor maintenance needed but doesn’t necessarily affect the use of anything e.g. shower head didn’t stay still and some cardboard had been wedged into the holder awaiting replacement. It’s a given that the owners are trying to keep the building as original as possible (which is great), however may need to give the window fittings a little attention as an open gap was seen to be present when windows were closed and on latch. This also lead to outside noise penetrating through to the room, especially people in the pub downstairs and aeroplanes passing. There is an easy entrance/exit for when the pub is closed, however means passing the bin stores and having easier access to gas bottles, etc. could maybe look at sectioning this off a little more where possible. I would look to stay here again, however wouldn’t look to stay for more than one night.

Nice staff. Room too bright

Outside room was quiet as was away from main pub. But the green beam of light over the door (from the fire detection system? ) lit the room up and made it hard to sleep. Also I'd not given consideration to aeroplanes going overhead all night.

A very nice place to stay. This is not a tourist destination but the nearby area is very nice and worth a walk. There is a very nice pub at the hotel and we eat well. The room was very nice and clean.

Value For Money with Lovely Staff

We stayed for one night as I had an early morning appointment at the Queen Victoria hospital which was just a 10 minute drive from the hotel. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The accommodation is part of a public house which is huge with loads of outdoor space with seating and a kids well equipped play area. We ordered an evening meal which was delicious and despite it being extremely busy our meals were delivered promptly. Breakfast was an extra cost but worth it if you like a large meal but probably not worth the price if you just wanted cereals and toast, having said that the breakfast menu offered a good selection. The room was very basic but clean and had everything we needed for a short stay, the only gripe we had was that there was no hot water when we got up so due to a tight schedule we had to make do with a couple of sinks of boiling water from the kettle but I’m sure if we had more time it would have been sorted. I would stay here again as it was value for money and offered everything we needed.
