The word that comes to mind about The White Horse is quality accomodation, decor, food and staff.
Pros:

The breakfasts were substantial with plenty of choice.The Sunday roast was exceptionally tasty, especially the potatoes which were crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The location was perfect, close to shops and many attractive historical buildings especially the Abbey. It was a joy to hear the bells pealing on Sunday evening.
