Comfortable accommodation and attentive staff.
Pros:

Really comfortable accommodation. Bed very comfy and walk in shower a good size. Nice quality furnishings. All worked as it should. Unfortunately, there was a leaking water main which affected the local area. Benji, the manager, ensured we had a good supply of water, both in bottles and jerry cans. Water was back on by 9pm so we weren't impacted by the outage but credit to The White Hart for their proactive approach. Fully recommended.

Cons:

Nothing of note

Pros:

Prima hotel, makkelijk in- & uitchecken. Gratis parkeren.

Cons:

De kamer lag aan de voorzijde waardoor er 's nachts best veel licht & geluidsoverlast is van passerende auto's. Het is goed om dit te vermelden, zodat mensen hier rekening mee kunnen houden. Ook zou het helpen als er gordijnen zouden hangen en plaats van (of als aanvulling op) de shutters.

Comfortable bed with lovely sheets
Pros:

We had taken 2 rooms. One room faced the view, one faced the road. The road is noisy, so if possible, request the room facing the back of the facility. They had put a fan in the room, which was really well received due to the heat that the UK was experiencing.

Cons:

The stairs up to the rooms are a bit steep. Its not a huge problem as this is not advertised as a disability inclusive facility, but worth mentioning as it is challenging for anyone elderly. Also, sound travels between rooms. Luckily I know my neighbours.
