What a beautiful setting, we were blown away! The rooms were comfortable, clean and wonderfully supplied with toiletries and hot drinks. The beds were extremely comfortable, best night sleep I’ve had in ages. Parking is free, just register it at reception. Staff were efficient, pleasant and helpful. We will certainly be coming back.

The first room was not good and the heat did not work. But we were moved to a new room. That was absolutely beautiful spacious, working heat, comfortable, clean with sitting area. So the second room gets all the five stars! Staff and food were all wonderful!

The room was OK. Compact. Quite a few issues with it none of which were rectified during our stay, despite reporting at the Welcome Desk. I have to say it was difficult to communicate with the team prior to arrival. The Staff at the White Hart were lovely. The Grounds are lovely.

Excellent location. Stayed in same room November 2024 and reported plumbing problem. This was still evident on our recent visit. Had to ask 3 times to get our room serviced which was not done on 1st day. Plentiful breakfast but problem with keeping it warm. (dont like cold scrambled egg!) Breakfast room understaffed. Trading on location but needs better management
