The White Hart

Great food but uncomfortable bed

Liked: Great food and wine/cocktails. Sunday roast and breakfast the next morning made the trip to the hotel worthwhile.
Disliked: 1. Mattress was incredibly uncomfortable. Did not sleep well at all. 2. Steep stairs up to the room. Problematic for small children or people with disabilities. 3. The energy in the BB section, upstairs outside of the pub area, was 'creepy' . We didn't see anything during the night but would not have stayed alone.

Very good

A really relaxing night's rest...

Liked: A fabulous location right in the centre of this historic town. The White Hart is a former coaching inn with a wonderful wall painting dating from 1636. We stayed one night after attending a party at the hotel. We had a huge full English breakfast eaten sitting in the sun on the balcony overlooking their courtyard above the former stables which is now a lovely function room. The staff are friendly and helpful. The en-suite room was full of character with exposed beams and the bef was very comfortable. Air conditioning was very welcome on a hot night.
Disliked: The huge free standing mirror in the room needs to be fixed to the wall. As it is a family room a child could pull it on top of themselves as has happened recently in a well publicised incident in a different location.

Very good

Perfect for my purpose

Liked: Very well organised and friendly, I was attending a wake.

Very good

Liked: A 1 night stay to meet local family, we had a lovely evening meal served with a smile. Staff were helpful and friendly. Good breakfast in the morning.
Disliked: The room was spacious although as mentioned in previous comments there was still a little dust around various places, mirror, radio alarm and the tv remote needed a good clean. Some small minor housekeeping issues could be fixed to make this a perfect stay.

A bit too expensive for...

Liked: Nice and centralRestaurant served nice mealsBreakfast was decentThe staff were very pleasant.
Disliked: No parkingRoom and bathroom were quite tired , needs a refresh. Air con not working ( for heat )

Not at all a quiet...

Liked: Food was okay and all the staff we encountered were nice.
Disliked: We thought this would be a quiet pub in a small village, but it was quite a large party pub with very noisy and drunk customers until 12:30am in the morning. The windows in our room over the courtyard did not fully close and did not block out any noise so there was very little sleep. Access to family room is up very steep stairs & has an internal door of only 1.5m high (dangerous for any adult) and several steps down to the bathroom. Would be better suited to storage space than as a guest bedroom. Difficult to get in and out of bath/shower without banging head on eaves. A lot of dusty surfaces in the room and there were used contact lenses on the floor, which didn't seem to have been hoovered. There was also damage to the wall by the sofa bed which we have since seen in photos from other reviewers 11 months ago - this could've easily been painted over if the owners had cared about their appearance. The room had a musty damp spell as well. Evening meal was quite good but we had to be shepherded past a fist fight on the way to our table ! Overall, it was very disappointing and way over priced considering the experience we had.

A lovely overnight stopover

Liked: Service, quality of rooms and breakfast/meal options
