Very good. But could do with some extra cleaning
A very enjoyable stay. Plenty of free parking. Staff helpful and friendly. Food very good. The only downside was the overall cleanliness of our room (number 10) plenty of cobwebs in the bedroom (Should take less than 5 minutes to remove them) The bathroom could do with more time spent on it. We found the previous occupants hair in the bath. Around the taps could do with a good clean and maybe a new clean toilet seat. Little things that make a massive difference. With a little extra cleaning you would have 5*****

Ive stayed at a number od Butcombe pubs and they are all excellent, but unfortunately i couldnt say the same about this one. The staff were all trying their best but didnt seem to have much training or leadership. The food i had was overcooked and over priced, including the breakfast. Not sure i would stay here again.

Check if they do food before you book.......!
This is a great little place to stay on your travels, but please call them to check if they do food before you book. Unfortunately, I checked in, asked to book a table and was told they don't do food on certain nights of the week. It would have been nice if they had let me know. They recommended the pub across the road for food, but i didn't fancy walking around a place i didn't know on my own. The rooms are great though. Definitely worth a look.

An absolutely memorable holiday! ❤️❤️
The White Hart is wonderful; all the staff (too many to name), were so accommodating and kindhearted. I was welcomed and treated like family versus „just another guest.“ What an amazing experience!

This is a wonderful place not far from the motorway and within spitting distance of the science museum. The rooms are clean, comfortable and warm. The staff were very friendly and always happy to help out. I will definitely stay here again when working in the area.

Poor poor poor
The room was of average quality. Some extra cleaning is required as the room smelt if wet dog the whole time and the shower was full of the previous guests hair. The most disappointing was the breakfast. I asked for the eggs Benedict which is poached eggs in a muffin with ham spinach and a sauce. The first issue was that they had no muffins, do did I want this on sourdough, which I agreed on. However when it, arrived there was no ham, so I duly asked the lady where it was. She took it back from me and said she would speak to the “chef”. She was new so was still trying to find her way around. When it came back the “chef” had just plonked some ham on the edges and microwaves it. It, was appealing, the eggs, were hard and the sourdough had not even been toasted so was soggy. I asked the waitress to o take it back as it was inedible. Then came the tirade of abuse from the kitchen, I heard it all. The chef came out 10 minutes, later to advise the waitress that she needed to be aware he couldn't do a lot that was on the menu. He then proceeded to ask her to open the bar and get him a pint of “gluten free” Butcombe and a soda. Which he duly opened and walked back to the kitchen with. This was, 10am in the morning! We will not be staying here again and I suggest that the owners relook at the kitchen staff. I can't fault the waitress she, was doing her best under the circumstances and she did not deserve the bullying from the so called “chef” that she was subjected to.

White Hart overnight stay
This was a bank holiday one night stay. We stayed in Room 2 (ground floor) which was nicely decorated and clean. There were bifold doors instead of a window which would have been great had there been a nice view instead of the concrete block wall which was higher than the room and only 2 feet away. We had to request a remote control for the TV and milk for a cup of coffee as these were not already in the room. I had a poor night's sleep as the bed was, in my opinion, extremely hard. Our evening meal was okay at best. We went for breakfast at 8.30 but there were no staff to be found. Eventually somebody turned up and took our order. Again the food was just okay. Unfortunately we will not be staying here again.

The room was spacious and clean with a nice bathroom, and the food was very good. The owner was very responsive to questions before we arrived and very helpful. Highly recommended!
