Our twin room was small but clean and well arranged, although a chair would have been useful. We were served a generously portioned Sunday roast, well cooked, a great meal.

Over priced and dated
Service and breakfast was great. Room was poor. In places the walls had been repaired but not painted. There was a hole behind the door which had not been repaired. The bathroom smelt and the bath was marked. Having paid £120 for the room, we felt we had been massively over charged. We understand the rooms are being refurbished which is needed and would perhaps reflect the rate we paid.

Just about OK
A fairly average pub with rooms as opposed to a hotel. It’s on a busy road so if you are a light sleeper then it probably isn’t for you. The food (both dinner and breakfast) were good although the level of cleanliness was poor. The room we had was pretty tired and in need of some updating. Temperature in the room was good and the shower was just about passable. So for the money it was just about OK.

Nice hotel with fantastic staff
We had a great stay at the White Horse Hotel. We stayed in two twin rooms with a shared bathroom. The bathroom was great and the rooms were good. A couple more additions such as mirrors in the rooms would make the rooms even better. All of the staff were absolutely lovely and we enjoyed a nice meal in the restaurant.

Would not recommend
Small car park. Unable to park until late evening as people at the bar was watching football on the big screen. Terrible road noise as windows not insulated and a set of traffic lights just outside. Constant traffic. Bed uncomfortable. Lead not long enough for the kettle. So had to put it on the floor near the socket. Very dangerous Just warm water. No Hot. This is a pub not a hotel.

Characterful pub/hotel with friendly service, good evening meal/breakfast and nice, comfortable room with spacious en-suite bathroom. A little bit of noise from the street when the bar shut around midnight but didn't last too long. Good value, couldn't have asked for or expected more from an overnight stay. Ideal for our purposes (visiting friends in the area).

Parking was tight on arrival, but staff kindly shifted their cars to make room, rooms were basic, broken items, cracked floor tiles, loose covering - needed attention, although it was clean but very reminiscent of a student room - road noise was obvious, people in the street (presumably from the bar?) and level crossing outside of the room beeps, which sounded like an alarm in another part of the building.. Breakfast and breakfast area was lovely, really stood out from the rest - it felt like its own little cafe - all in all, ok for a night at a comparatively budget price

The room was not fit for purpose. When we complained we were advised by the manager that the website states under refurbishment. We did not receive this information and it is still not stated on the website. The shower had no pressure and was straight off the taps and in very poor condition. The bath had patches of enamel missing. The plug sockets were not plastered into the wall and had cracks and plaster missing around the surround. No meals are served on Tuesdays which we had not been informed about. It was suggested we use a communal shower instead of the en suite facilities of the room. There was damage to the interior wall which needed repairing. Contractors of the hotel were let into our room without us being present and without our prior consent. At this time, our room was left, with the door wide open, for 20 mins (we returned to our room to see this for ourselves) When we complained about the state of our room, we were told that the accommodation "was good enough for contractors" Surely it does not matter who is staying at the hotel, basic standards should apply. We have uploaded the photos we have taken to support the above. Coffee is not included with the cost of breakfast which we think is quite unbelievable. We would not recommend this hotel to anybody.

Cheep and cheerful.
This hotel is an old building and the best description I can give is quirky. Do not expect any special facilities, in fact don't expect any facilities, not even a glass for your toothbrush or hair dryer. We stayed for one night and the bedding was clean, which was more than can be said for the carpet. The staff were friendly enough and welcoming. Don't be put off staying at this hotel, there is plenty of entertainment, wondering if the ceiling will stay in place and the sound effects from other guests using the toilet or shower were reminiscent of the noise you experience at most water parks. You get what you pay for, I would stay again
