The white hart stables where we stayed was very comfortable but just as we expected. We had several meals in the White Hart PUb next door good selection of menu very nice food also a pre Christmas meal a good atmosphere. Made very welcome by owner Dan and his staff. Had a small problem with heating Dan came round in 15 minutes and he had someone fix it by lunch time couldn't have expected more. Definitely recommend the white hart stables and pub.

A comfy bed well for me not for the husband. He likes a firm bed, but it was lovely and soft bed just right for me . very clean could not fault it at all Had enclosed garden for dog which made it very convenient, and a great pub next door with lovely food and good quantities. If youâre there Monday night I recommend the curry for £6 but I would book if you want to stay and have a meal any other nights as it get very busy with lovely locals and dog friendly and staff where welcoming. Recommend this place to anyone and I canât wait to go back again.
