"Stayed here for a business trip. Check-in was quick and efficient, and the reception staff were friendly and welcoming. The lobby felt bright, modern, and gave a good first impression. The room itself was clean, although there was a noticeable damp smell on arrival. The bathroom was also clean but felt a little dated and could benefit from a refresh. The bed was comfortable enough for a short stay. One challenge was the lighting — the room felt quite dark even with all the lights on, which made getting ready and doing makeup difficult. The bathroom lighting was also quite dull and not ideal. The main downside was the noisy ventilation system. As the weather was cold, switching it off wasn’t really an option, but the constant noise did make sleeping more difficult. Breakfast was the usual standard expected from Crowne Plaza — a self-service buffet with a good selection. The restaurant staff were welcoming and pleasant, which was a nice start to the day. Overall, a reasonable stay for a business trip, with friendly staff and clean facilities, but improvements to lighting, ventilation noise, and bathroom updates would enhance the experience."

"Fabulous hotel the staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is stunning, breakfast was excellent and the evening meal was great. Would definitely return."

"Room was lovely. Lots of parking. Bar reasonably priced. "

"The breakfast has changed since the last time we visited. It says that it's healthier with a very limited choice of cereal, although I found the granola very sweet. There are no longer any fried eggs or fried potatoes. Whilst I appreciate the sentiment, they still serve traditional bar meals with chips and mayonnaise, so doesn't seem a joined up approach? Preferred the previous system."

"Sadly the pool was out of action during our stay although arrangements were made to use another hotel a 5 minute drive away. We were disappointed with in room facilities - the fridge had been removed and toiletries were very basic, shampoo no condition, shower gel no body lotion, no shower cap - definitely felt like costs were being cut!"

"We had a lovely couple of nights at the White Hart. Very good meals (breakfast and dinner) and helpful staff. The room had quirks not unexpected in an old hotel (eg. slopey floors!) but was comfortable, nicely decorated and equipped)."

"Overall it was a lovely place to stay, and the staff were great and food fantastic. We had a room in the main house on the top floor, overlooking the garden. However we did leave a day early because we had two sleepless nights on a overly firm mattress and thin lumpy pillows. When you wake up at 2am, 4am and 6am, and are tossing and turning because you can't get comfy does spoil a lovely stay. Simply better pillows and a good mattress topper would make the world of difference. I'm not sure reception staff when i noted it saying 'no one has complained before', doesn't mean previous guests haven't felt the same! If you love firm mattresses where the springs dig it, you'll have great time.... saying all that the staff we met were fantastic and food we had was great quality and served with care and attention especially taking accont allergies!
