“The White Hart, in the small town of Wiveliscombe, impressed me with its helpful staff, clean rooms, and free on-site parking - a bonus given the town's charm. While the building's age gives it a quirky, old-fashioned feel, the tasty continental breakfast and sensible bar prices made it a good value, in my opinion. It's a nice alternative to Taunton's chain hotels, especially if you're seeking a relaxed atmosphere.”

a tender getaway

friendly stafffire exitslow pressure
The staff were very friendly and helpful, i felt very welcomed here. i was shown to my room and the fire exits were pointed out. I think that was NICE to see. food in house and across the road was very nice.
the hotel is undergoing work to modernise throughout, exciting, though hopefully this will include the power and pressure of the showers. the water pressure was a little low.

Acceptable stay overall

attentive staffgreat locationbasic roomlimited breakfast
The staff were attentive. They booked a taxi for me. The location is GREAT for a quiet town. I even watched a cricket game at the local field.
The room felt basic. The shower was just a dribble of water. The continental breakfast had limited options. I could SEE that costs were being cut.
