"I stayed in the White Hart Hotel for a short break with my brother.
The couple who run it were welcoming and check-in was effortless.
Breakfast had a cooked option in addition to cereal etc. which we opted for.
We each had a room with en suite which were spacious and clean.
There were several places to eat within 10-15 minutes walk."
"This is a charming property in a small quaint town. The grounds and room were very nice. The owner greeted us upon arrival and the staff was attentive. For a small inn, there is an amazing restaurant on site. I highly recommend Blackaddie House if visiting the area. "
"Really friendly and helpful staff. Both the check in staff on entry and exit were friendly and helpful. There was a particularly kind and helpful cleaning lady/ chambermaid on Friday pm. The fact it’s close to the motorway and also overlooking a lake are big pluses. "
