The staff were very attentive and pleasant. The setting is rural and very peaceful. Both bar and restaurant were inviting and all the food we had was of excellent quality, well cooked and presented. The room ( No.9 in the annexe) was comfortable with good en-suite facilities, a comfortable bed, good TV viewing and the window and balcony, facing East to the rising sun was an enjoyable extra. Especially watching the cock pheasants displaying in their smart breeding plumage. Should we be looking for accommodation again in this area we would definitely repeat our visit

There is a substantial floor area between the 2-seater sofa and the dressing table/TV/tea making facilities. Because of the sloping roof, the sofa/wardrobe area is pretty dark. Both my wife Angela and I like to read and especially if away for a few days’ holiday when we we have more time at our disposal. The room would be substantially enhanced in this area with the provision say, of a coffee table. The area really also needs some lighting by which a guest might be able to read in a comfy seat. Because again of the sloping roof, a standard lamp might not be too practical, but a quality table lamp would be very acceptable. Sorry for being a bit picky, but we used to run a Hotel ourselves.

We had a warm welcome. I had booked in the restaurant for our evening meal. The restaurant was busy and deserves to be, our four dinners were really excellent. The restaurant and bar staff were all really welcoming and efficient. We had a great evening. Our rooms were good, the beds were really comfortable. The bedrooms were located in a separate building which does mean there’s no bar noise from below. Both of the rooms booked were quiet and well presented.

Our only negative was breakfast. The service was good, that wasn’t the issue. It sounds a little petty but two breakfasts were with poached eggs, both eggs were so solid, more like hard boiled. The toast with the salmon was burnt. There wasn’t time to draw attention to it and wait for replacements as we were heading to an event. It just seemed that the staff cooking breakfast were a little haphazard. That was our only criticism and unfortunate as it’s what you think of as you leave.

Comfortable clean room delightful staff delicious food - very inviting traditional Inn surrounded by beautiful countryside . Will visit again - please don't change anything . Our room looked out into the countryside and we were greeted by pheasants in the morning before breakfast.

The bed was a little small - which didn't make for a restful night and there was a very strong smell of bleach in the ensuite bathroom which was a bit nasty and permeated into the bedroom - it was obviously a very clean room but maybe less bleach - but everything else surpassed that.

Great location, central to our needs. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and food and choice were good. Would certainly come back to stay again. The room itself was clean and comfortable and tastefully decorated. We liked it. Bar and restaurant were excellent, with a breakfast included perfect for us.

Our only minor criticism was the room size, especially the shower and toilet, which was a little small. When washing, you knocked on the door, and it banged the wall, potentially waking other guests, but for the money, location, and facilities here, and for just a short stay was perfect for our needs.

Room clean and comfortable, the breakfast is outstanding staff very friendly and attentive and would definitely stay there again but in a different room, see below

We did raise concerns with the owner about the toilet handle.. Temperamental at best and really quite frustrating to use, also the WiFi drops in and out but when it's on its fine and finally there is a bit of mould in the shower cubicle, it's only a small problem but it's there,

The location of this pub/hotel is along some country roads and it is very secluded. The pub has a gastro vibe, and we ate an evening meal which was very good. The room itself was within a converted barn, or maybe it was purpose built. We had a ground floor room (there were a few rooms on the 1st floor). Our room had a terrace outside with wooden seating that backed out onto a lawn. The room was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The following morning, we had a good breakfast, with continental items and a cooked breakfast.

For breakfast, the eggs benedict would be better served with ham rather than bacon.

We were given a warm reception on arrival and the staff were helpful throughout our stay. The front bar felt like an actual pub, rather than a holding area for a restaurant and it was great to see locals come in for a drink. We were able to choose where to sit - inside our out - and there was no issue when we moved from one spot to another. The food was fantastic. Not just impressive descriptions but properly prepared and delivered. The dishes had flare and originality, without trying too hard. The room was quiet and it was great to have a little patio area outside the door. The decor was basic but fine for us. Being allowed to stow our bikes away in the shed was a bonus.

We've eaten at The White Horse before so, as we were looking for somewhere to stay, we opted to book a room here. Despite being a pub, the accommodation was very quiet. Everything worked well and the breakfast was excellent. We also had dinner here in the delightful dining room and the cooking was very good, as before. The waiting staff were efficient and friendly. This place is well run.

The White Horse is not alone in this but why, in quite a big double room, is there only one easy chair?

Nice old pub with lovely gardens in a quiet village location. We liked that the rooms were away from the main pub so no risk of noisy evenings, but actually this is more of a restaurant with a small bar attached than a pub with a restaurant attached, so there is probably low chance of that. The room was fairly small, but smart, clean and comfortable. We liked that the doors opened onto a quiet patio. Dining room and food offering was good.

Reception staff were a little...disinterested and not particularly welcoming, but all waiting staff were pleasant and in general efficient. The restaurant menu is very GastroPub and our meals did look wonderful, but didn't quite deliver on flavour. Truffle and Parmesan chips tasted great, but they really need to be crispy!

This is an exceptional find so should I be telling everybody about it??! The White Horse Inn is one of those places you have to want to travel to as it only reached down a single-track road with passing places until you get to the idyllic little village of Compton Bassett. The White Horse Inn itself is a pub - obviously - but so much more than that. The owners are welcoming, the food is exceptional, and the accommodation is comfortable and adequate. But it is the overall experience of being there - even if for one night as we did - that makes it so special and for which I am happy to rate it a 'ten'. The evening meal was some of the best food I've ever eaten at a pub, and the breakfast the following morning was THE BEST full English I've ever had - bar none! Well done for having wonderful ales and cider on tap and making our stay there a genuine experience that we are happy to pass on, and we would ... we will be staying there again.

There was nothing to complain about - seriously, nothing at all
