Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers adequate and spacious rooms, though a bit shabby, with pleasant service. Located in a fantastic and quiet area. Dining is good but with limited options. Facilities are satisfying overall.
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were excellent, filled with Platinum Quality touches like the Nespresso Machine, making it feel like a cozy home. The initial cold ambiance could have been warmer and more festive. The service was top-notch, with friendly and welcoming staff who could handle any issue effectively. The location, nestled in the well-kept grounds of the White Hart, was a beautiful retreat. Dining had its flaws with some disorganization and cold breakfast items, but the grilled dishes were good. Overall, a pleasant stay with room for improvement.
The hotel was uncomfortably hot in the rooms, making it difficult to sleep well. Additionally, the noise from a rattling door behind the wardrobe was disruptive. On the bright side, the restaurant was one of the best I've ever experienced, offering delightful dining options.
