The White Hart is a very comfortable fusion of "olde worlde" with modern comforts. Yes, it has a lot of low beams in the bar area, traditional ales on tap and even a well in the reception area. No, it doesn't have sawdust on the floor, and spitoons in the corners (thank goodness). You will have a very warm welcome from all the staff, a choice of two restaurant areas serving locally sourced produce cooked very well. The menu might be limited by some standards but the variety should cater for most tastes.
Prices seem typical for what's on offer, and the portions are generous. As to wine choices, popular styles are available by the glass, less well known varietals by the bottle. Breakfasts were delicious - full English had outstanding quality items. I hate neon pink sausage and scrambled egg that you can bounce off the floor. No worries of that here!
Our room was clean and spacious, and the decor was fresh and what might be called "memorable". The bathroom was outstanding - maybe the best of any establishment I've stayed in!
Would we return? Most definitely. Thanks to all the staff who looked after us so well.
