I have been eating at the White Horse for 10 years and was looking forward to visiting again this May. The food, service and atmosphere have always been great and despite the departure of Dan, the previous owner, my last visit was very enjoyable. However when I went back on the 17th May I was horrified to see that they... More

Stopped for lunch on a grey day, had fish and chips which was very good, but service was poor with young staff standing around chatting, had to ask for a menu. One regular monopolised the bar area and staff. Took ages to get the bill. The restaurant has been modernised but the atmosphere here is of an old fashioned traditional... More

Lovely hotel with friendly staff, we were made to feel very welcome. The menu offered a varied selection and the quality of food was very good however the portions could be slightly bigger. Being an Adnams hotel there was a nice selection of their beer and wine. As we booked late, two days before, our room was a small double... More

We were greeted by the lovely Alice who made us so welcome, showed us to our room and continued to be firendly and helpful throughout our stay. (In fact she was a star) Room 1 was... More

I'd love to have reviewed this hotel but after we booked and paid a deposit they phoned us a week later to say they had double booked and they moved us to another pub in the village. No points then for service.. and that's sadly all we'll ever know about. Never mind, there are plenty of other good hotels hereabouts... More

Lovely small hotel in this stunning village. The room was very nicely appointed if quite small and the en-suite was top notch. The food was excellent both for breakfast and dinner and there was a good selection of Adnams real ale. The service was good throughout and we will certainly return. More

Now an Admans house, the White Horse continues to serve good quality food and drink in the bar and patio garden. Our room (no 10) was fine and well appointed with its own street entrance.

Had quite a pleasant evening with friends. Comfy surroundings, with pleasant and attentive staff. The food and drink was "okay" but not good value for money. When spending over £20 on a steak and chips I expect the mother of all steaks. Extra chips for £5.....NO WAY, that's daylight robbery. Unhappily the White Horse has gone the same way as... More
