The White Horse  

I am aware it was the owners last week in charge. The bar was friendly, and the log fire was warm and appealing

The room was cold, the heaters didnt work and the shower didnt work. I appreciate that the brewery had someone in checking the electrics, but this apparently didnt cover the rooms. I thought the standard of the of the breakfast was poor.

.Staff friendly, food good

Poor value for money. No manager appeared to be on site. Accommodation dirty - fluff behind beds, cold tap did not work, rubbish outside bedroom door.

Comfortable bed. Traditional/historic restaurant.

The White Horse itself is a lovely old building full of character situated in a beautiful little village that has been unspoilt by the ravages of our time, I.E. fast-food outlets and so called super stores that seem to be blighting every town and village in our beloved country. The staff were helpful especially the chef who served up some great food and kept us all entertained with his singing whilst preparing breakfast, the man obviously loves his job.

Unfortunately the room we had was very tired and worn out, clean but needed a total makeover. Not worth the £80 price tag.

A lovely building in a country area. A bubbly waitress, always smilinorg.

On arrival we were met by our host who showed our room. She then sang the praises of her chef who she described as wonderful. I immediately searched for a large pinch of salt. At dinner on the first evening there were four specials, one of which was pheasant. It was a Friday and the waitres said they had ran out the previous night. I then chose steak and kidney pie. It was full of fat and gristle. My wife chose pork and apple en croute, which was a strange ort of establishmentconcoction not dissimilar to a Cornish pasty mix. Both of these items were obviousely bought in and not even transport caff quality.As for the veg. The chef, if there is one must think el-demte means raw. At breakfast there was supposed to be cereals and juices available but on the first of our two night stay there were not. Our eggs were burned to a cinder and the sausages were pongy and inedible. On the second evening the specials were the same but pheasant crossed off. What sort of establishment can have a weekend special and run out on Thursday. For your information my wife and I are both qualified chefs. and for some time sourced and supplied quality fruit, veg, fish, and poultry for a caterer of functions at a local stately home. n addition I would like to say that drink prices were excessive, and as an experienced business man I feel that this hotel`s days are numbered unless big changes are made. One further comment- not more than three miles away in Deddington there is a high class butcher and game dealer, who could supply ingredients which match the overpriced menu at this establishment.

Venlig betjening.

Tilsyneladende udgået for engelsk fadøl. Ikke særligt rent i restauranten. Rodet bag hotellet.

Very peaceful.tranquil setting

cheerful welcome...handy for our visit...bar and restaurant onsite...friendly staff

room had no direct ventilation...some noise from pub outdoor seating area and carpark at night...restaurant had problems with new chef

Breakfast was plentiful and good quality

The rooms were not very private as you had staff taking cigarette breaks outside the part glass door to your room. A badly placed curtain was all you had for privacy.

the food in the resteraunt was very good. The menu was short but varied and the portions big.We liked the idea of having a drink and walking across the carpark to bed.

Because the rooms are just next to carpark it was noisey from car doors, cars driving past and chatter from the smokers outside. The room was nice but in need of a re-vamp.
