Pros:

White Hart is a hidden gem. The restaurant had the best steak and ale pie we had on our trip. They also had an amazing view from our room. It was a weekend when they would have music and we didn't hear anything in our room when going to sleep while it was still going on. The room size is HUGE! The shower felt great and the tub is large as well. It truly is one of the best places you can stay.

Excellent value for money and more interesting than a standard typical hotel chain.
Pros:

We booked 3 bedrooms. All were spacious with good bathrooms. Tastefully decorated. And parking conveniently right by the entrance door. The owners made sure we were comfortable before leaving us to do our own thing.
And just a short walk to a Tesco, and the quiet Town Square.

Cons:

Nothing really.

Pros:

The staff were exceptional, so friendly and helpful. The location is very convenient, stayed one night for a nearby wedding and it ticked all the boxes. Rooms are very nicely done out.

Cons:

Our room was a little noisy being right next to the main road but that couldn't be helped. We were back in the early hours anyway
