The room did not look like the photos on their website (room 5 large). Could do with some curtains as only a blind. No breakfast available although says on their website 'breakfast available at extra cost'.Green emergency light should be in corridor not in the room. Size of the room was ok if you just want somewhere to sleep for the night.

Lovely staff but that does not compensate for a small room, no towels in the room and no breakfast option.

Not the best of places I've stayed, but it was fit for purpose (a quick nights sleep before heading off on the southdowns way)

Not good, room not ready 3hrs after check in time. Freezing cold only put the heating on when I got there, room and bathroom a bit grubby. Food choice very pub type fried. Won't be going back.

Room was clean but no wardrobe and bathroom room was along corridor also church clock chiming all night did not help next time will have a room at rear of house away from road noise and the clock.
Other wise all good for convenience and a good bar.

Comfortable room, basic but with all the necessary inclusions needed. Friendly staff and locals. Nice outside area. Excellent food and good value for money. Small car park but a free public park within 5 mins walk. Nice local amenities as well.

We stayed in the small twin room, which is as it clearly states is small, but perfectly functional. The bathroom is separate, which did not bother us at all. Very nice owner and staff, nothing was too much trouble and we had a great stay and would not hesitate to return.

Room 3 advertised with a private bathroom and can clearly see bathroom attached to the room in photo is not what we received room 3 had a shared bathroom down corridor. Also large green emergency light in room so unable to sleep.

A little pricey for what you get TBH. Owners were friendly but the accommodation just needs a little more attention to detail in the room/bathroom.

The pub itself was good and the food was very good too. Staff friendly. Accommodation not so good. Could do with a good clean up and overhaul to bring up to a reasonable standard.

When we arrived the roads were busy but got a parking space so was good as there is free parking just walking distance from The Whitehorse inn, the rooms were clean but needed a bit of TLC in my opinion other than that it was comfortable and a beautiful place to stay, the owner was awesome and the staff were great, with a friendly atmosphere.. 😊
