The White Horse offers 15 boutique bedrooms named after local wildlife, such as Rabbit, Badger, Stag, and Barn Owl. Several rooms include private hot tubs, copper roll-top baths, or spa baths with garden or terrace access for guests with dogs. Each room provides a 50-inch TV, cafetiere, and digital radio, with some featuring enclosed courtyards or lawn areas.
Dining
The restaurant serves seasonally inspired British cuisine made from locally sourced ingredients, with menu options like sirloin steak, barley risotto, and Sunday roasts with all trimmings. Breakfast includes Full English, smashed avocado, porridge, and vegan choices, all cooked fresh to order. Special diet menus are available, and the bar stocks regional ales alongside a wine list that includes Pinot Grigio and red pairings recommended by staff.
