White Hart Inn

White Hart Inn

10/10 Excellent
"First time for me but I shall definitely return. Everyone so friendly and a cracking steak dinner. Not just a range of local ciders but a chilled range at that. Pretty rare. Place was buzzing with locals which says everything.. If you want a modern budget hotel, go elsewhere. The Hart was around in 1472. Bit more respect for the old lady. A delight. Thanks for looking after me."
