Hotel with parking Gatwick airport.
Discussion
From my experience if you leave your car with any of the big hotels it will be "moved to a secure location",in other words in the hands of a professional car parking firm.Remember if your dealing with big name hotel groups your car will not be handed over to "Dell boy" and left in the local Tesco`s.If you do find a hotel it will be a few miles away and will your car really be secure left in their car park unattended for two weeks??.If something happened to it would it be fully insured?
I`ve used Marriott Courtyard at Gatwick a number of times without problems.On your return you call a number when collecting your luggage and your car will be waiting for you all warmed up when you walk out of the terminal.Its good service,not expensive and your car is in the hands of professionals.

I always use the Holiday Inn.
To my knowledge, the car is always left on site (they're parked up everywhere)
Even if it's not, it's always come back fine on the 4/5 times I've used them.
I went away for 2 weeks in September. Gatwick parking only - circa £100. Hotel the night before and parking - £110.
No brainer.
If you want to park your car up and have no-one else drive it, IINM you're looking only at on-site parking.

Second this. Turret Guest House or Jordan's B&B are other options. The Turret will drop you off and you can get a reasonbale meal at Ye Old Six Bells pub within walking distance.Muzzer79 said:

I used Holiday Inn (Gatwick Worth) last month on a similar deal... Decent hotel and great VFM, but they moved my car and left it in gear - didn't particularly bother me, but if I was particularly precious about my vehicle, it may have!No brainer.

Premier Inn?
You can get a room + 8 nights parking for £79... depends when you're travelling though.
They apparently hand your car over to "Purple Parking" who leave it off site somewhere. I have had problems in the past with off-site parking companies and don't want a repeat of that situation.You can get a room + 8 nights parking for £79... depends when you're travelling though.

Oh, OK, sorry, I didn't read the small print. The only issue I had once with Purple Parking was at LHR. My beautifully clean car, when collected by them, was then pooped on by birds that had been eating purple berries. It looked like it had been paintballing when it was returned to the terminal for me.
