The White Hart Hotel

Stayed here on a 3 night break. Typical old coaching inn with a nice ambience. Spotlessly clean room, very comfortable bed. Well appointed with complimentary tea and coffee as well as homemade shortbread. En-suite up a step due to uneven nature of the floors. Lovely big fluffy bath towels. Excellent shower but over the bath so if tall like my husband was difficult to stand up fully as ceiling level low when standing in the bath. Room well heated and at a comfortable level. Usual creaking floors and up and down steps on the landings, so if mobility issues not the best. We were on a bed and breakfast basis and there was a good choice of food continental and cooked. Found the full English too salty for me but the omelette was just right. Croissant and pain au chocolat fresh and very good. Ate here the first night of our stay but several dishes not available and the meals we chose were not as good as they could have been. I had the curry of the day chicken tikka but there were big pieces of barely cooked potato amongst the chicken!! The actual accompaniments of rice and naan bread were both very good. My husband had excellent chips with his ham and eggs but found the ham disappointing. For the comfort of the rooms would definitely stay here again.

Have seen many changes at The White Hart since the days of the 1980’s and it being a first class establishment owned and managed by Peter Morgan. We returned on Wednesday for a lunch with friends and were so pleased to see the new owners have been complementary to the listed building with their decor and furnishing skills. What a delightful setting to enjoy a group meeting. Lunch menu had something to suit everyone. The staff were well turned out - no scruffy Tee shirts and jeans here - they gave us excellent attention and so polite. A great asset to the company. Good to see that coffee and cake are available in the lounge area. Unfortunately we had to all leave quickly due to heavy snowfall but agreed to have another meet up here in the summer. Hard to follow in Peter Morgan’s footsteps but you are certainly following on his heels. Congratulations and thank you.

Please can you pass on our thanks to all your staff for another wonderful stay - this is our fourth stay at The White Hart and indeed the very best; fantastic service from every member of staff during a very busy time, especially from Liv and Julie and nice to see a hands on manager in charge! Delicious food on both nights and brilliant breakfasts too. The improvements that the new owners have made to The White Hart into another league and we very much look forward to our next visit, number 5!!!

Stayed for the first time in this excellent hotel, we will most certainly return. Superbly and tastefully renovated recently, this hotel is a real gem with great character. Splendid welcome, relaxed ambiance, really friendly staff, clean comfortable bedrooms, and a superb breakfast in the morning. The lounge area is cosy, well-appointed with a roaring open fire. The bar is also very welcoming with real ale available. We had dinner in the lounge which was enjoyed by all three of us. Good food and reasonably priced. The bedroom and ensuite were super clean with SkyTV and even a phone to make free UK calls. Wifi is fast and stable. This hotel is run by such lovely people who make you feel at home. Well done to all working there for making our stay so enjoyable.

We were recently concerned to learn that this very good pub with accommodation had closed. Absolutely delighted however it has returned. Used for the third time as a B and B base. Please see my full review in the "restaurant" section of today's date, TripAdvisor Torbayaotearoa. 🇬🇧🇳🇿

Good price good food and one thing I must mention is that they have Sky tv in all the bedrooms, that`s a first for me. The staff were spot on and both the breakfast and evening meal were something to die for and served quickly. I have never bothered to write a review before but I felt I must.
