Absolutely amazing. The Inn is gorgeous and cozy, the rooms designed beautifully and all the small extras made me feel so comfortable and happy. Sweets under glass and a welcome note in my room, soft music on the radio by the bed, and a lovely bathroom and shower. The bar and restaurant served up delicious drinks, as well as a full English breakfast included in the room cost that was delicious. Staff were very gracious and kind, and the location is in the center of town. Easy to get to from the train station by bus or walking. I wish I had more time to stay and enjoy the vineyards and art as well. Will certainly be back for a longer stay. An absolute gem.

Newly refurbished rooms, comfortable bed and big shower. Radio in the bedroom as well as a TV. Fresh milk provided for hot drinks and some beautiful little sweet treats on arrival. The staff were helpful when approached and remembered to smile.

Parking quite limited and access to the courtyard sometimes blocked so dropping off with luggage can be a challenge at times. Perhaps it was staffing over Christmas but the ‘hot’ breakfast was served on a cold plate one morning and seemed to have been sitting around for a while before serving so was cold. The streaky bacon was not crispy and seemed more fat than meat on one morning but on other mornings these things were ok.

If you want to be treated like royalty and get the best value for your money, come to the White Horse. It was my husband's birthday, but I never hoped that staying in a hotel could make this day so special. Needless to say that the hotel itself is magnificent, the room was fantastic, very beautiful and comfortable etc. But it's the staff's work and the management's choices that make this place stand out. At the pub's restaurant we were served delightful and adventurous (and very moderately priced) 100% vegan food (vegan English pie!!!) coupled with two free glasses of Prosecco for the occasion (they kindly replaced them with drinks of our choice since we don't drink), which made our evening. The room was full of charm, had a lot of treats for the evening tea and a hand-written card, and in general the hotel kept pleasantly surprising us at every corner. The full English breakfast was also adapted for our vegan needs. I'm looking forward to coming back and giving my parents-in-law a gift stay as well, because after our visit I can be sure to recommend this place to the most special people and be sure they will have the time of their lives here. Thank you for making my husband and me so happy on his special day!

Absolutely nothing to report.

Really nice place. Small touches that made the place unique and really cozy.

Unfortunately we were woken up both mornings, we stayed two nights, 7am for the alarm. First morning fore alarm went off in the property and second morning somewhere behind the property. The second one obviously was not related to the White Horse but taking a break for two days to relax and recharge this was really inconvenient. No apology or even mention about the fire alarm when we finally got out of the bed and went to buy coffee from the restaurant as we missed the breakfast due to being woken up 7am and then trying to catch up with sleep…

Lovely clean and spacious room.

Some slight changes this time. The breakfast has changed and the continental options aren't laid out in the restaurant for you to choose from. You now have to select one from the menu along with one option of juice. There's no free access to water etc. No toast offered... Service charges are automatically applied when ordering food from the bar, and you need to be aware of this. The 2 for 1 drinks between 5pm and 7pm were available for 1 night but not the next 2 nights. You get the nice sweet treats in your room on the first night but nothing after that, no biscuits etc.

Bathroom always the priority for us-Perfect! Bedroom roomy, bed comfortable and decor nothing to distract. Creaky Floorboards reminiscent of other old pub stays provided some quirky charm! There were some lovely complimentary sweets left for us. We hadn’t arranged an evening meal, but not a problem. Food choices were varied and what we had was very tasty. Also service attentive and food arrived with little delay. The sausage if you like them was delicious. Breakfast was a little tight if we had been staying longer than one night but again choice was varied and Pancakes delicious. Our compliments to the staff for making us feel welcome and well fed and rested

Rather a meandering journey and lots of stairs. Due to the age of the property floors a little off kilter. If any mobility issues perhaps ask for a room fewest stairs. Parking missed twice but it was dark when we arrived. Bit tight in places if you have a larger car.

The rooms are beautiful, a really lovely welcome card and some treats, you walk into the room and are greated with classic FM, lovely and welcoming. We booked for dinner which was fabulous as was the waiter who served us, and the breakfast was lovely. The fruit option could have been a bit more exciting, but the pancakes with maple and bacon .... just excellent, would happily just visit again for those ! Fabulous hotel in a great location.

The reception on arrival could have been better, we followed the receptionist into the hotel, she was probably busy but saw us headng to the door with cases and didnt hold the door open, checked us in but didnt ask us about if we wanted to book for dinner or when breakfast would be served. Wasnt too much of an issue as we had stayed before so knew whats what, and had already booked for dinner. Might not give a best impression for first timers. Hopefully just had something else on her mind to get sorted.

The room we had was lovely, really clean with great bathing facilities. Our dog was well provided for (though note you need to bring your own dog food),and we were left some delicious treats ourselves on arrival. We also had dinner in the restaurant and the food was great delicious, good value for money and decent portion sizes.

The car parking is very limited which is a bit of a pain although there are other car parks close by. Unfortunately, although delicious, both our breakfasts were rather lukewarm which was a shame. Staff were apologetic and gave us free hot drinks to compensate which was nice but obviously we would rather have had our food be hot.

Cute and quirky historic building with a gorgeous interior. Really cosy vibe and our room was stunning - we had multiple complementary perks such as a mini pillow spray, ear plugs, sweet treats, tea/coffee and bottled water in the mini fridge. Even a personalised written note wishing us a lovely stay. I like that you could connect your phone to the TV to watch Netflix etc, and the bed and linens were super comfy (one of the best nights’ sleep I’ve ever had). Dinner and breakfast was also delicious, the pistachio soufflé was to die for. Staff were very welcoming and friendly at check in, dinner and breakfast. We didn’t have to interact with staff upon check out as there was a little basket to leave our room key at the desk. A 5* experience, I can’t wait to come back!

If I was to nitpick fine details, it would be that there was a small stain on the duvet noticed by my partner, and that the radiator in the room didn’t work so it did get a little cold at times. However, there were 2 heaters provided within the wardrobe (1 didn’t work but the other did) so we were able to warm up quite quickly!

Large pleasantly and recently refurbished historic inn, centrally and very conveniently situated. Subdued lighting giving an atmospheric feel in the main areas and bedrooms. Very comfortable bed with quality bedding and excellent room furnishings.

As the hotel is centrallly located in the town outside road noise is noticeable during the day and evening but thankfully relatively quiet overnight. Heating in bedroom not easily manageable so ended up opening windows to cool the room making road noise intrusive as a consequence..Parking v. limited on site and on street but public car parks in the vicinity..
