The White Horse Inn

We had a warm welcome. I had booked in the restaurant for our evening meal. The restaurant was busy and deserves to be, our four dinners were really excellent. The restaurant and bar staff were all really welcoming and efficient. We had a great evening. Our rooms were good, the beds were really comfortable. The bedrooms were located in a separate building which does mean there’s no bar noise from below. Both of the rooms booked were quiet and well presented.

Great location, central to our needs. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and food and choice were good. Would certainly come back to stay again. The room itself was clean and comfortable and tastefully decorated. We liked it. Bar and restaurant were excellent, with a breakfast included perfect for us.

The location of this pub/hotel is along some country roads and it is very secluded. The pub has a gastro vibe, and we ate an evening meal which was very good. The room itself was within a converted barn, or maybe it was purpose built. We had a ground floor room (there were a few rooms on the 1st floor). Our room had a terrace outside with wooden seating that backed out onto a lawn. The room was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The following morning, we had a good breakfast, with continental items and a cooked breakfast.

We've eaten at The White Horse before so, as we were looking for somewhere to stay, we opted to book a room here. Despite being a pub, the accommodation was very quiet. Everything worked well and the breakfast was excellent. We also had dinner here in the delightful dining room and the cooking was very good, as before. The waiting staff were efficient and friendly. This place is well run.

This is an exceptional find so should I be telling everybody about it??! The White Horse Inn is one of those places you have to want to travel to as it only reached down a single-track road with passing places until you get to the idyllic little village of Compton Bassett. The White Horse Inn itself is a pub - obviously - but so much more than that. The owners are welcoming, the food is exceptional, and the accommodation is comfortable and adequate. But it is the overall experience of being there - even if for one night as we did - that makes it so special and for which I am happy to rate it a 'ten'. The evening meal was some of the best food I've ever eaten at a pub, and the breakfast the following morning was THE BEST full English I've ever had - bar none! Well done for having wonderful ales and cider on tap and making our stay there a genuine experience that we are happy to pass on, and we would ... we will be staying there again.
