Not value for money, small en suite bathroom, barely swing a cat. Terrible bed, noisy windows - the building has lots of character on the outside and in the bar / restaurant but in my opinion that character was not in any of the hotel rooms. I will not be staying there again

The hotel oozed character with its Tudor styling and timeless interior. The bar and restaurant area with its wooden panelling was charming and authentic. The bedrooms were stylish and clean with comfortable bed and seating, and the lovely warm bathroom was finished in a modern but not out of place styling. With free parking, it was excellent value for money. Cliff, Wiltshire

A 2 star hotel with very uncomfy bed

I definitely won't go back. The greeting on arrival felt hostile with the male (i presume owner) demanding my credit card to take details for the full cost of the stay despite having already paid hotels.com in full. I expected to give a £50 authorisation which is the standard amount but not £116! And he wouldn't hear of me questioning it. The room itself felt clean, although very small and the bathroom literally had a loo and a shower with no room to be able to close the door. When i tried to get to sleep it was awful. The noise from the bar downstairs carried on till after 11pm and the bed was the most uncomfortable I've ever slept on, it felt like the mattress was as thin as a sheet on top of a hard board. I woke up at 2am with a terrible sore back and had to fold up the duvet and sleep on top of it just to try and get comfy. Hotels.com have this as a 3 star but when looking on Google is actually a 2 star which i would NEVER have booked if I'd known baring in mind there's a premier inn for cheaper just up the road. An awful experience

Disappointed

Mattress in room 15 desperately needs replacing, slight movement creates spring noises. Window had no secondary glazing(road facing) so draughty and no noise protection. Mould in bathroom, shower head needs attention. Staff lovely, breakfast good, let down by poor investment in the room.

Never going back

Upon arrival and looking from outside it appeared to be an awesome place to stay. The advertised room pictures suggested the same. However, having booked and paid for a "Superior" room prior to arriving I left feeling cheated. The room was tiny and the bathroom was so small you could sit on the loo and rest your feet in the shower tray opposite at the same time! I've seen bigger bathrooms in caravans. The WiFi in room 1 was unusable. Took 10 minutes for all four of my devices to even find the hotel WiFi and once they were able to connect, there was 1 bar of signal which kept dropping out. No mobile signal there either (obviously that's not the fault of the hotel but they should up their game and provide the Wi-Fi they advertise). Advert also said that the room had blackout curtains which is untrue. My room was by the main road with a streetlamp directly opposite so was illuminated like daylight all night 😩 Curtains are like tissue paper. The windows have some effort of poor secondary glazing but this doesn't reduce the traffic noise so I was woken at 4am by a combination of traffic and light. Tonight I am in the Utilita Bowl Hilton (as I'm writing this) and have a Deluxe King room with balcony and pitch view, internet and the ability to move around. Price was 10 pence cheaper than the White Hart too so I can't help but feel ripped off by this place. I usually stay in 2 or 3 different hotels every week and this place will definitely be on my "Avoid" list for the future.

It is an interesting 15th century property with lots of charm. Staff were very helpful. Watch out if booking a twin room. Ours was noisy, and the beds were lumpy and creaky. I could only sleep the other way around. I saw much better double rooms on lower floors.

Hidden Extra Charge

My stay was ruined by the refusal to return my deposit for any incidental expenses. I was told that the £25 would be returned on checkout. On request for the refund I was informed that it was being retained because I stayed in a dog-friendly room when I had not been informed at any time previously. In my opinion this is dishonest and I will not stay here again
