Great staff, excellent bedroom, shower, bed etc. The breakfast was exceptional, good choice and cooked to order. Evening meals (starters, mains and desserts) were all superb, personal favourite was the prawn linguine. Good choice of beers, wines and spirits. Great location, easy to find and a large car park. Would definitely stay here again

This is a wonderful place not far from the motorway and within spitting distance of the science museum.
The rooms are clean, comfortable and warm.
The staff were very friendly and always happy to help out.

An absolutely memorable holiday! ❤️❤️
The White Hart is wonderful; all the staff (too many to name), were so accommodating and kindhearted. I was welcomed and treated like family versus „just another guest.“ What an amazing experience!

I was warmly met when I went into the main pub to check in. The accommodation was in a separate building at the back. I had a lovely room upstairs with a small balcony which was a nice addition for such a lovely evening. The area around the pub was conducive both for a long walk as well as dining options. The room was clean with good decor and good spec fittings. This was for all areas except the shower/bath combo which had a clunky shower curtain which restricted movement. This was instantly forgiven, however, when I discovered the shower head had 3 settings, one of which was comparable to a shiatsu massage which was sorely needed. I had a decent night's sleep although a fan in the room would have been a nice touch. Breakfast seemed to have been sourced locally and was cooked very well. All in all I very much enjoyed the stay and would look to book myself in there again when I am next in the area.

Check if they do food before you book.......!
This is a great little place to stay on your travels, but please call them to check if they do food before you book. Unfortunately, I checked in, asked to book a table and was told they don't do food on certain nights of the week. It would have been nice if they had let me know. They recommended the pub across the road for food, but i didn't fancy walking around a place i didn't know on my own. The rooms are great though. Definitely worth a look.

Very good. But could do with some extra cleaning
A very enjoyable stay. Plenty of free parking. Staff helpful and friendly. Food very good. The only downside was the overall cleanliness of our room (number 10) plenty of cobwebs in the bedroom (Should take less than 5 minutes to remove them) The bathroom could do with more time spent on it. We found the previous occupants hair in the bath. Around the taps could do with a good clean and maybe a new clean toilet seat. Little things that make a massive difference. With a little extra cleaning you would have 5*****
