The White Hart Inn

We chose The White Hart because we hadn’t heard of Winchcombe before. We arrived to discover that this was their Xmas Street Market weekend, what a treat it was. Terrible weather didn’t stop the stalls being out and displaying mostly artisan goods. The White Hart was buzzing and packed by evening shoppers stopping for drinks and food. Our room (5) overlooked the High Street which was illuminated by Xmas trees on nearly all premises. The food was varied and very good, the bar had three different ales along with lagers and other draught drinks. Despite the inclement weather the hotel was warm and cosy.

Comfortable hotel on the high street. The food was excellent. Good selection of excellent food for the evening meal. Choice of local ales. Breakfast also a very good selection of food. Choice of fruit & cereals etc plus excellent cooked food. I would thoroughly recommend this place. Staff were polite, cheerful & helpful. Why did I give it only 4 stars you may ask! It is an old coaching Inn. Our room was very comfortable with good quality facilities but not quite 5 star. The food however was most certainly 5 star.

Very disappointing offering - 3 finger sandwiches which were ok but nothing special. 3 tiny 'cakes' per person each no bigger than a 10 pence coin. Only one scone each, but as they were such a peculiar texture, springy and doughy rather than light and crumbly, this wasn't such a bad thing. Only redeeming feature was the generous portion of cream.

We called in for coffee and a bacon sandwich. The coffee was quite good and the bacon was freshly cooked. However, the bread was the cheapest, thinest possible, it looked like it as if with a razor blade. £7.95 for the sandwich, would have been acceptable if the bread had been of quality.

Stayed for 2 nights 29 Sept - 1st Oct. Stayed in room 5. Very basic. In need of a total redecoration. Windows frames rotten in places and very dirty. Staines on the bathroom walls. Dirty and stained carpet. No mattress protectors. The bed however were comfy. No glasses or water in the room. We stayed as the temperatures dropped. there was no heating in the rooms or bathroom. When enquired, we were told head office would not allow for the heating to be put on and that's why all the staff were wearing jumpers! The food was good as were the bar and restaurant staff. Part of the inn looked reasonable and had been painted but the front / entrance bar and back area was very dirty and tatty. This Inn needs to decide if it is offering rooms, as this seems to be less important than the food

Absolutely outstanding. Right in the middle of Winchcombe, (a picturebook small Cotswolds town, with everything in it), so much so that we had to make sure our curtains were closed to hide us from the hardware store across the High Street. Car park is approx. a 4 minute walk away, as is the paper shop. Double room with en-suite big bathroom was spotless, to the extent the smell of bleach in the bathroom was at first, almost overpowering. Strong shower and light you turn on in the bathroom after the door is shut, so you don't disturb your partner, Bed was big and firm, very comfortable. Menu was small but very well presented, and staff were extremely helpful. Not great for wheelchairs as there doesn't seem to be a lift. we had a red letter deal which pretty much covered everything, except drinks. My wife and I would go back there tomorrow if we were able. Sudeley Castle, (Catherine Parr's resting place) is walking distance and well worth while. Thoroughly recommended.
