If you are looking for a basic room in a pub then this is good. Noise from bar below can be late at weekends. Food was good in bar. Having been there during a heatwave it would have been nicer to have some water in the room and blinds that were blackout rather than just plain cotton.

There actually was not a breakfast. However, the hotel includes a charming pub where we enjoyed an excellent pub lunch. As a whole we very much enjoyed the White Horse Inn. Our room seemed a little small and we shared a bathroom. We did find a restaurant within a short walking distance where we enjoyed breakfast.

Beautiful location and setting. Run by good local people, but staff communication and availability were non-existent. We had a rough time getting back indoors, found no soap in the bathroom, couldn't reach the staff on phone, once returned at 9:30pm and found the pub completely desolate with no way to reach anyone. Had to even help two incoming guests enter the building. Presumably encountering the same issues. It's still a beautiful inn, location and setting, and the staff were very polite, the few minutes we interacted with them. So in the end, all good, except these inconveniences

Terrible I couldn’t stay there, could not move in the room it was so small and dingy. Tv the size of a place mat which didn’t work. There were stains on all paintwork. Wardrobe was like a bathroom cabinet fastened to the wall. Absoultly terrible.

Would happily stay again

The room was small, but comfortable and clean, the bathroom was perfectly adequate. The staff were inobtrusive and very accommodating and the location was peaceful. Parking wasn't a problem and I would love to stay here again.

There was a slight admin error when I arrived which was quickly sorted by the staff. Then, I was shown to the room which they had sorted for me. It was small (which I had booked and no problem) but the emergency light had an annoying green L.E.D which did not turn off and made sleeping much harder. In addition, the bathrooms were elsewhere in the building which is fine but they did not have room numbers on meaning that when I came to use my bathroom the following morning, I could not as someone was in it already. I used another one which was unoccupied but could easily be remedied.
