Lovely staff but that does not compensate for a small room, no towels in the room and no breakfast option.

Room 3 advertised with a private bathroom and can clearly see bathroom attached to the room in photo is not what we received room 3 had a shared bathroom down corridor. Also large green emergency light in room so unable to sleep.

We stayed in the small twin room, which is as it clearly states is small, but perfectly functional. The bathroom is separate, which did not bother us at all. Very nice owner and staff, nothing was too much trouble and we had a great stay and would not hesitate to return.

A little pricey for what you get TBH. Owners were friendly but the accommodation just needs a little more attention to detail in the room/bathroom.

The pub itself was good and the food was very good too. Staff friendly. Accommodation not so good. Could do with a good clean up and overhaul to bring up to a reasonable standard.

Only two very flimsy bath towels and no hand towels. Green emergency exit light on in the room all night made the room too bright for sleeping. Aldo only a blind at the window and no curtains which added to the brightness.

Historic..
When we arrived the roads were busy but got a parking space so was good as there is free parking just walking distance from The Whitehorse inn, the rooms were clean but needed a bit of TLC in my opinion other than that it was comfortable and a beautiful place to stay, the owner was awesome and the staff were great, with a friendly atmosphere.. 😊

The en suite room we had was minimalist -- a bed was about all. The bathroom had not been properly cleaned --poop in the toilet when we checked in. The village is lovely however.
