A night away to watch the rugby!
Had a lovely stay at this beautiful old hotel. Only stayed one night. Staff were very nice. We managed to get a parking spot, although spots are very tight.

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

A great central location with an excellent breakfast. But if you hope for a reliable internet, don’t stay at the back of the building. I was told by staff the bad service was due to the rain, but it was still hopeless on the next sunny day. I had to go into the tea room for it to work.

This is a lovely listed building so you have to appreciate that some areas of the property are in need of attention. The windows & seals were rotten but it’s a very old property so have to accept this. The room we had was quite small but a nice comfy bed & shower room which is all we needed for a two day stay. The staff were extra friendly & helpful. We had a lovely stay in an old quirky hotel !
