Place was superb from start to finish. Top drawer culture exists amongst the team, who can’t do enough for you and the best cooked breakfast I’ve had in years.

The White Hart Ironbridge.

Nicely situated by the river but no parking, we had a good meal there on the evening and the atmosphere in general was nice. We stayed in room 6 but it was so noisy from a generator of some sorts which spoiled our stay.

Mixed review

The room was excellent. Lovely view and peaceful during the night (once closing time came but people chatter wasn't an issue beforehand). The bathroom was big and spacious and nice to have a separate bath and shower. Bed was really comfy. Only issue for us was breakfast was disappointing. On arrival we were told breakfast was between 9 and 10. We are early risers and do prefer an earlier breakfast but thats personal choice. However, on being seated we noticed others had already eaten and found out they'd been allowed an earlier breakfast which we would've loved but wasn't offered. Our order was taken, however it took 40 minutes to arrive. As time was tight due to car parking issues i had to leave to put additional parking on before returning to breakfast. Other guests expressed concern over the time their breakfasts were arriving due to the same parking payment issue. The food was plentyful, however the poached egg was proper hard and dry, the black pudding tasteless and the poached tomato was whole but hard. Overall a lovely stay but let down at breakfast. On checkout i wasn't asked how the stay was otherwise i'd have said then instead of now in this review.

I booked this charming old authentic hotel-pub with a few rooms for my husband’s birthday and had mentioned in advance that a small gesture like maybe a card to mark the occasion would be appreciated. I was told something might be arranged, but in the end, nothing was done — a small disappointment, though not enough to spoil the stay. Our room was very clean and recently renovated, with a spacious bathroom. However, although I’d booked a yard-facing room to avoid noise, it still turned out to be quite loud. The hotel faces both the River Severn and a busy road, and at 2 a.m. we could even hear cars racing — not exactly relaxing! If you’re sensitive to noise, this may not be the ideal choice. The listing mentions parking, but in reality there is none. The full English breakfast was generous in portion, but fairly standard. There were no hot alternatives, just a selection of cereals with milk and yogurt. Overall, service was good, and with just a few tweaks this could have been an even more special experience.

Nice pleasant stay

Great stay in Ironbridge - easy parking across the river - Good food. Old building so not soundproof rooms, but a great stay in a top location by the river

I highly recommend The White Hart. I arrived early but they let me check in immediately as the room was ready. Lovely view across to the river. Delish breakfast. Nothing was too much trouble for ANY of the staff in all the different areas of the hotel. Loved my short stay. Thank you.

Quick trip to Ironbridge

One night stay as visiting family nearby. Hotel is fine just difficult to get to due to due to flooding defences which obviously can’t be helped. Ironbridge is a very interesting place with lots to see

Badly described

I did not stay in the establishment because I was unable to walk from the car park ( which you had to pay for) back to the hotel with my luggage. Had I known that before I booked I would not have used this hotel.

Great hotel with lovely views of the river

We rated the White Hart as an excellent place to stay, we could not fault it. The bedroom overlooked the river, was large, clean and tidy. We had a meal in the restaurant the first night which was very good, the staff were friendly and service was great. The breakfast was a full English and we also requested porridge which was not on the menu, however the staff brought it in the following morning especially for us. The White Hart is in the centre of Ironbridge and close to all other attractions.

A gastronomic delight!

We booked a low cost room, however it was comfortable. The 5 star rating reflects the service received and the quality of the food (both breakfast & dinner). Staff were extremely polite and attentive. In line with other Ironbridge hotels adjacent to the river, car parking is free for 40 minutes immediately outside the establishment, with free parking overnight in the short stay car park (2 minutes walk) from 5pm to 10am, therefore we incurred no parking charges.

Wonderful stay in picturesque inn. You might need a guide to find your room, but, once found, it will comfortable and bright with all you need. Breakfasts are great, as is the restaurant, and the staff were cheerful and helpful! The location is an added bonus as it is very picturesque.

Just OK

Good location close to the Iron Bridge and local shops. Access to room was ok but a little maze like to carry luggage. Advert suggested parking but this was either on the road if you could get space or public car park 1/4 mile away. Water in room was either extreme hot to freezing cold with a hair width movement of shower tap. Biggest thing for me was the rather musky smelling room on arrival which did not seem to go away. Food was ok at dinner but expect 10% service charge and at breakfast I was asked how I would like my eggs cooked but only received one, with one rasher of bacon, one sausage which to me was a little stingy.

Amazing value for money, would stay again

Room itself was perfectly clean. Bed comfortable, shower good and vegetarian breakfast lovely. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. The room was quite noisy until 11pm (when the pub closes, the hand dryer in the pub toilets must be immediately under the bed!) but after 11pm, really quiet all night. Hallways seem to smell of stale smoke (which is odd given how long it's been banned for), but the room itself wasn't an issue. This was about half the price friends staying further along the same road were paying, very good value for money. Thank you.
