The White Hart Ford

This is a lovely building in a gorgeous location. The rooms are beautifully styled, with coffee machines included. We were woken at 3am by a group of drunk guests who made a lot of noise. Ideally groups would be situated on the ground floor to reduce the impact on other guests so doors slamming/stomping around upon their return doesn't wake everyone else. We felt the drinks were a little overpriced, and for what we paid we would expect breakfast to be included, however, the breakfast offering was great from the granola to the eggs benedict. I will return, but if we were watching our pennies we may choose to have dinner and a cocktail elsewhere first.

Spent £24 on a tiny starter and a cheese and pickle sandwich for lunch. Bread on sandwich (white, I wasnt given a choice of different brown bread etc) definitely WASNT fresh, it looked like it had been unfrozen and just crumbled around the meagre amount of grated cheese and thin spread of chutney. When I quietly mentioned to waitress she ignored me on next meeting..so when I enquired again was told the kitchen said bread was fresh. No apologies. Used to be such a great place to eat..new management needs to make sure the florid descriptions on the menu are matched by the quality of food served.Plus learn some basic rules of hospitality.Very disappointing Wont be back to eat.

I booked this hotel for three nights and paid in full in advance. The first night was great — the staff were kind, professional, and everything felt welcoming. However, on the second night, I went to visit another town and returned to the hotel at 10:45 PM. To my shock, the entire hotel was completely shut down. Every door was locked. There was no one at reception, no staff, no instructions, nothing. I had no access to the building I had paid for. I called the police — no answer. I called the hotel — no one picked up. I was alone and stuck outside. After a long and stressful search, I finally discovered that the back door to the hotel was unlocked, and with some effort, I managed to push it open and get back to my room. Once inside, I realized I was the only person in the hotel — no staff, no security, no one. The hotel had zero safety measures, which is completely unacceptable. I am staying here for two more nights, which are already paid for, but I am extremely disappointed and concerned. If anything had happened to me during that time, the hotel would be fully responsible. How can a hotel — especially on a Saturday night — have no one at the front desk after 10:45 PM? And if that’s their policy, why wasn’t I told in advance that I needed to return before a certain hour? There is no communication, no support, and no security. This level of negligence is shocking and absolutely unacceptable.

Really welcoming experience from start to finish staff really friendly had lunch and the server really went out of his way to make sure my partner was accommodated as she is gluten free / celiac was very busy but the food came out hot and fresh really good value The room was very peaceful despite being above the bar clean and tidy and had a great nights sleep one tiny tiny thing on your website it says all rooms have smart tvs this wasn’t the case with ours just a standard tv no HD or any access to Netflix or iPlayer etc As I said a tiny issue and not a problem for us but can imagine it being so for more fussy guests Breakfast was really really nice and again taking great care to make sure my partner was aware of the gluten free etc well done to all at the white hart we will be back

White Hart Ford is a magical place! Surrounded by nature and good vibes! We felt like we were in a fairy tale. All the services were excellent!!! I would come back to this place again and again. Super grateful for the nice detail they had with me! They are the best!

Went for a family meal on Sunday. All a bit disappointing. Had a roast dinner. Chicken, for £18.50. Roast potatoes were poor. Parsnip undercooked. Gravy tasteless. Pudding was nice but you can’t go wrong with an affogato. For the money you pay, I’d expect food of a higher standard.
