Ibis Gatwick. The hotel exists, like many others, to serve Gatwick airport. Itès not fancy but it is clean and extremely well designed for the purpose - and its basic rate is cheap, though everything additional, from breakfast to wifi, is pricey. But really not much else is necessary. They provide double bed with duvet, flat screen TV, sparkly clean loo with shower, kettle with cups and instant coffee and tea. There's also a Tesco Express five minutes walk away with yoghurt, fruit, cheese, sandwiches, etc. And a pub not far away. We're out early to stock up for the day, as the promised rain is setting in. The real fear is that the heavy rains will worsen flooding in the south of England - and there are also wind warnings for tonight and early tomorrow that could affect flights.
