We booked a spring break at The White Hart Royal Hotel with our fox terrier, Floss. We received a friendly welcome on arrival and were allocated Room 308. A very large room with four poster bed on the ground floor that overlooks a beautiful courtyard garden. There was a placemat for Floss with a water and food bowl together with a complimentary bag of treats for her - a nice touch. The en-suite contained a shower, sink and toilet with lovely toiletries, dressing gowns behind the doors. Bed linen was very clean, crisp and felt expensive. My one moan would be that the bath and hand towels were on the thin side and not fluffy and luxurious, a small thing that detracted from the overall experience and easily fixed. We had breakfast and one evening meal in the restaurant (dogs not permitted in the dining room so she stayed in the room and was very well behaved). First evening we both had prawn and crayfish cocktail (huge portions - lettuce could have been chopped a bit finer), I then chose the pie (hunters chicken) with mash, gravy and lovely al dente vegetables. My husband chose sausage and mash. Breakfast was standard full English, very nice, other options available. Second evening we were seated in The Snug which has a pub like feel, fine for breakfast but I felt it lacked the restaurant dining experience. Meals were perfectly acceptable, again very generous portions, cooked and presented well. I’d forgotten my phone charger and Reception very kindly loaned me one. All staff were friendly, polite and hospitable, a credit to the establishment. Special shout to Louis who served us on his first evening at work and did a fine job. Would definitely recommend this hotel if you want to stay in a historic building with loads of charm located in this lovely part of the world.

“Good but could be better.”

Beautiful building perfectly located on the high street and the food was exceptional but a few things let this hotel down. We were there when the weather was 30 degrees plus and our room was unbearably hot, even the complimentary water was too hot to drink! We had very little sleep as a result. A portable air con unit in the room and a fridge would easily fix this, especially as the UK now regularly have hot summers. We were located on the top floor of the building and the staircases were narrow and uneven as to be expected with a building of this age, but we were not offered any assistance with our bags despite my mum being 74 years of age. This was disappointing. We were also unable to have dinner in the restaurant on our 2nd night as it was fully booked, although we wanted to eat at 5.30 when the restaurant was empty and we were seated on an outside table that we had previously been told was first come first served. Again disappointing, especially as the food was excellent.

We stayed at the White Hart for three nights at the end of May/beginning of June. The property has some good and some bad points. Pros: It's a charming, historic property that is in a good location in Moreton-in-Marsh. The staff, for the most part, were nice and helpful. The onsite restaurant was excellent. It was probably the best place that we ate in the Cotswolds. Cons: The fact that this is a historic property makes it quirky. We were in a room on the second floor that required navigating crooked and oddly sloping stairs. Contact the hotel in advance if you have mobility issues. We do not have mobility issues but did find navigating the stairs challenging especially with luggage. We arrived on the last day of a heat wave and the room was unbearably hot. There were fans in the room which helped a little. This is not the hotel's fault. It's just something to be aware of. Again, the room is quirky. It was well appointed with lotions, potions, tea, coffee, etc. The room grew on us but was our least favorite place we stayed on this trip. Would we stay here again? That is a hard question to answer. I'm unfamiliar with other options in the area and would need to do some research. The answer is a 'maybe'. For over $300 USD a night, I guess I expected more.

Can i say before commenting on the room that certain aspects of the hotel are very good, the staff at all levels were friendly and very amicable. The bar has an excellent range of beers,fully appreciated by a bitter drinker like myself. The food choices in the restaurant or bar were standard fare ,priced ok as were the drinks. Nice outdoor courtyard , comfy lounge area. Parking a little hit and miss due to no private parking but to be honest did not prove to be a major problem. Great breakfast not a buffet , personally i dislike them, excellent choice of food and very well organised . The room was a disappointment,we asked for a classic double and booked well in advance. I am not sure whether this was a comfy double or a classic single although we were assured when leaving that it was as stated ,a double. Looking at the fire drill floor plan it was certainly the smallest on the first floor. So the four cushions were put on top of the wardrobe, ironing board propped near the door so we could hang some clothes up .The distance between the end of the bed and a desk meant the chair stayed tucked in. Generally to much put into a small space, Cushions,lamps nespresso , tissue holder and radio . Bathroom excellent no complaints. Was it good value for £550. minus a £30 reduction , not for me
