Given the restrictions of a very old property (grade 2 listed) they have done a good job updating yet not spoiling. A charming and comfortable stay.

A charming character building with good food

A really welcoming group of people and a quick check in. Typical character building with wonky creaky floors but loads of charm. A bit cold in the room at first but soon warmed up with the heater. Lovely amenities and a great bathroom too. Good pub food for dinner, breakfast was OK (hard boiled poached eggs will always get a point deducted I’m afraid). Will definitely stay again though.

Don’t go on Friday

Breakfast was great and room was fine but the noise was terrible. Incredibly loud music right underneath the room until gone 11pm. Expensive concert considering that but might be better if you avoid Friday nights.

Past its best and poor value

I didn't know places like this existed outside the 1960s. Shabby, neglected and well below the standards travellers expect in modern Britain. Cramped room equipped with broken items of furniture. Lighting to fire escape landing, which also served as an alternative access route, not working - fluorescent tubes missing from fitting. Shared bathroom/loo inadequate for no of rooms - and no hot water in loo washbasin. Might have been less to complain about if rate about half of what we paid for triple room for the night, but rate charges was conspicuously poor value. Well located in town centre so could be perfectly good, but requires major investment -- including double glazing to street so occupants not woken every hour by bell in clock tower opposite.

You need to understand that this isn't a notel

The White Horse is actually a pub that has some rooms it rents out. Pub itself is very tired and 1980s style, although it clearly has its regulars and it is these to whom the pub caters. Landlord is very friendly and helpful, but bar staff is uninterested in non-regulars. There was no 2 pin socket in the room and when I asked the barman if an adaptor could be located he said "They won't have one". I requested that he ask the landlord, who produced one immediately. The room was very tatty, and there was no back to wardrobe, which made it sway precariously. TV plug had a PAT testing date of 2007. Towels in bathroom had holes in and the Bathmats were stained. The room was clean, however, and relatively cheap. Perhaps this shouldn't be advertised as a hotel, though?

A disappointing visit

I turned up to book in at 1500hrs and asked were to park as the booking specified free parking, I was told that the hotel did not have a car park and to use the public car park which was only free between 1800hrs and 0800hrs, so I ended up paying for parking. Next I asked about breakfast, again the booking stated breakfast cost an extra £7.00, I was told that the hotel did not do breakfast!!! Rooms were not clean and in dire need of redecoration

Value hotel in great location

Hotel is old but location great. You get what you pay for and for this price it was good value for money. The landlord was great and very friendly. I thought this was a lovely town centre hotel and well worth the visit.
