lovely room and great food. friendly staff

From the moment we arrived we were meet with a really warm welcome, nothing was too much trouble, every one was very helpful and friendly. This was the case for the whole of our 5 day stay. will defiantly stay here again and would not hesitate in recommending the white heart. thank you for a great experience.

My partner and I (we are in our seventies) stayed for three nights in early September. The room would have been better had it been a bit larger

Really lovely stay - the bed was incredibly comfortable and the room so clean and fresh. Everyone at this hotel is so kind and accommodating, I really cannot recommend it more

It's such a great feeling to know that our hospitality industry is one of a kind and The White Hart Marks it the best with great customer care, affordable, friendly, very helpful good communication, delicious healthy meals.Cannot thank the whole team enough for such a great service. So far so good and will recommend The White Hart to family and friends. Keep the good works.

I stayed for one night in this charming B&B. Everything was great and I’d stay again if I was ever in this part of the country again.

Charming old house with authentic pub. Very friendly staff, good food, great live music. Spacious room with comfortable beds.Partly noisy in the room, as the historic windows let through every noise from outside (street, church bells). Very low water pressure in the bathroom.Good starting point for excursions in the region.

Village Pub , very quaint and quirky with hops hanging from beams , real ale pub . Very friendly and warm welcoming staff , our room was one of the smaller ones but adequate , beds soft and very clean, nice rainfall shower, close to boating on the river and half mile from the steam railway , overlooks village green playing cricket.Breakfast was superb - rasher of bacon about 10mm thick more like a steak , well cooked , well presented . Small place as only 5 rooms i think but defiantely a warm friendly place to stay , couple of maintenance issues were dealt with quickly without any fuss , no air con(old building what do you expect)so maybe take your own fan like we did just to keepo cool.Church across the road is a useful alarm clock if you have forgotten yoursWould be happy to stay here again

We zijn hartelijk ontvangen door het personeel.Leuk contact en als we iets wilden weten of vragen werd er direct op gereageerd.Eten was goed en omdat wij ‘‘s ochtends al vroeg weg moesten, stond er de avond voor vertrek al een goed gevuld lunchpakket voor ons klaar.Bedankt voor alles.

The stay overall was good the breakfast was great, the down side was having to wait approximately 6 minutes for Hot water to arrive at the shower sum what wasting water.

Very nice inn to stay at. Clean comfortable small double room (although small, it was absolutely fine for me on my own). The evening meal was great, perfect steak, and the breakfast was superb. I'll be back :-)

Big room, comfortable and very friendly staff.

Spotless room with modern shower, comfy beds in a historic country inn with a lovely beer garden, great steaks in the restaurant and superb full English breakfast and all at a great price. Highly recomended.

We only stayed one night but found the Owner and staff very friendly and hospitable. Our room was very clean and very comfortable and our breakfast was delicious. Would highly recommend

Room was small but very clean. Comfortable beds and good supply of tea/coffee/hot chocolate/milk. Bathroom clean with a modern shower.Only drawback was noise from kitchen extractor fan outside window which luckily was turned off when kitchen closed at 6,30 pm as it was a Sunday. Noise would have been too much had it been a day when kitchen was open for longer and you wanted an early night. Also we weren’t able to close the sach window which needs a bit of maintenance. Meals from kitchen were very good and very generous portions. Staff kindly let my friend and I have a children’s portion of evening meal. Being in our 80’s we can’t manage a full sized portion especially as these were so large. All of the staff and the proprietor were friendly and extremely helpful. A very pleasant stay.

A warm friendly traditional pub with great service, good food and spacious and comfortable room.

We stayed at The White Hart for two nights. We really enjoyed the garden and the views over the fields. The place was quiet and clean. However during summer the rooms were quite hot, and the duves too thick.Apart from that, I'd love to come back!

Stayed the weekend for a local wedding. Great steak restaurant and great freshly cooked breakfasts. Great sized bedroom in room 2 and comfy bed, room 6 a bit small but nicely appointed and comfy. Nice pub atmosphere and very friendly staff.Would certainly recommend.

My dad and I stayed one night at the White Hart and it was a great experience. Comfortable, clean, quiet, and friendly. Great shower. We’d be glad to stay again if we are in the area. Breakfast was hearty and tasty.

Nice staff, great breakfast, lovely old building, cosy room, beautiful part of rural Kent

Extremely friendly manager and staff who made our stay very enjoyable.

We stayed here for one night in late June.We really liked it.Friendly staff, characterful room, good food and beer, including a generous breakfast (with an epic bacon ‘steak’).The weather was hot so it was great to relax in the pub garden that overlooked fields.I would recommend staying.

We had a very nice stay at the White Hart. Lovely old pub and rooms. Surprising modern interior in the rooms considering the old building. Excellent breakfast!

Lovely welcome when we entered the pub after our busy day out in the lovely Tenterden area.The accommodation was great with excellent facilities. We had a great welcome the next morning & shown through for our breakfast which has a good choice of traditional & vegan options for breakfast. Excellent outdoor space overlooking green countryside which we want to come back & spend time in!

Lovely little B&B, rooms lovely and clean.Very kindly let me check in early as I was attending a wedding in the area. Staff super helpful and polite. Room was comfortable and had lovely breakfast in the morning. Overall excellent vfm. Thank you!

Helpful staff, relaxed atmosphere with a comfortable room, bed and shower.Evening meal and drinks were good. Breakfast served with bonhomie, bacon steaks were different.Overall a nice relaxing place, would have stayed longer if our itinerarywould have allowed.

Very nice pub with a real world rustic charm. Room was comfortable, breakfast was a full English. Plenty of parking and the cost was well ai, at the budget traveller.

Room spacious very clean and well decoratedExcellent bathroom.Very good breakfast and dinner. Staff very friendly and attentive.

I cannot rate this place highly enough. The bar staff/restaurant staff are lovely people. The food is excellent, the room is a great size and the shower room even has a lighted area for applying make up! I was even able to have a drink in the garden looking at the lovely countryside this visit. Everything has been done to warrant a first class stay. Thank you The White Hart.

We had a lovely stay in this wonderful old inn. A great location for getting out and about in the countryside with the River Rother and Kent & East Sussex Railway nearby, as well as a short drive to many nearby homes and gardens. The landlord was very friendly, serving a very nice breakfast and dinner. The bedroom might have had old beams and wonky walls but it had the best bathroom I've seen in a long time.

Stayed as two friends (there doesn't seem to be an option for this!).All the staff we met were friendly, welcoming and keen to meet our requests. Lovely old house, comfortable beds in twin room and plentiful breakfast. We would come again.

Hi used to use the pub when I lived there I needed a night away because of stress. I could not fault anything even down to napkins. ( good quality ) The service was out standing prices were very good in the cost of living. Food was good quality and well presented. Breakfast was amazing ( I had vegetarian and sausages were out of this word and well presented and room was fantastic quilt and bed out of this worl. And nice to see Ivan again

Friendly, welcoming staff. Comfortable, clean accommodation. Superb location.

Was warmly welcomed at The White Hart to start my husband’s birthday weekend by Joe.We arrived for lunch and was shown to our room.A lovely large room with a huge roll top bath!Worth noting the comfy bed too.Joe explained we had missed dinner when I went down much later but it was no problem for the chef to cook us something like scampi and chipsor prepare a cheese board (which is actually what we wanted).The portions here are big and we enjoyed all the food we had.Breakfast was lovely and nothing too much trouble (even a later check out) which was more than agreeable by the Manager/owner.Ellie-May checked us out who like Joe, was delightful.All in all a wonderful stay, would love to come back to try more from the menu and bar!

We spent two very comfortable nights at The White Hart, we were well feed and well looked after. We would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful place to stay, ideally located for the Kent and East Sussex Railway. Rooms nice snd comfortable, staff were very friendly and were always at hand to offer assistance.

We had the family room 2 adults and 2 children,really clean and comfortable, the food was also very nice and the staff are lovely. Highly recommend.

Really nice room. Comfortable bed. Had dinner which was very tasty and good value for money. Friendly service. As I had to leave early next day, they made up a take away bag for me. A really nice touch as I usually end up going without. Made a real difference to the following day. Would highly recommend.

Excellent

Cannot praise our stay enough. Lovely rooms , clean and comfortable. Staff very friendly, nothing to much trouble . Would highly recommend.

Wonderful old very charming little house, beautiful rooms upstairs and pub in the ground floor. The traditional building is very well preserved and maintained, rooms are clean and tidy with modern bathroom. The owners were very friendly, served a generous breakfast.

Cards on the table. We are biased. This is a place we come back to as often as we are able.The food is always excellent. especially the Sunday roast.This visit included mothering Sunday. The restaurant was busy from noon on wards but the staff were efficient, smiling and nothing was too much trouble for them.That the kitchen was able to produce so many faultless meals was a testament the quality of both the ingredients and the staff.A new addition since our last visit is the steak menu.Dry aged steaks that you can see in their own refrigerated cabinet.The steaks I had during our stay were amongst the best I have ever had. It is a quality chef who can cook a very well done steak (I know but it's how I like it!) and keep it juicy and tender and mine were both.The rooms as always were comfortable, clean and well appointed.Looking forward to our next stay already.

Really warm welcome from The White Hart team, lovely old fashioned pub with quaint rooms.Mattress was a little soft for us personally, but well decorated and clean.The restaurant is fantastic and highly recommended.

We had an amazing weekend and our stay at The White Hart was a massive part of this.Very helpful and attentive landlord and the staff were greatWonderful breakfastWe will definitely stay here again

Really nice valentines meal, steak and chips very nice. Great service, friendly staff.Room really cosy and quirky being an old style pub.Really good breakfast and coffee.Can’t wait to visit again real soon.

great little local pub everything catered for good room, good food and a nice pint too

The room was warm, cosy and well provisioned for our 3 night stay in February. The food was reasonably priced and the portions were huge! All the staff without exception were friendly and extremely obliging going out of their way to accommodate any special requirements we had.

Absolutely lovely stay again our second time at The White Hart. Brilliant run family establishment well done everyone involved 10/10. Neil Winstone Alfriston East Sussex

This is a very old coaching inn I think as it is on an A road to Rye and full of beams, inglenooks and character. It has a very welcoming atmosphere and a nice pub and restaurant downstairs with rooms upstairs. Our room was immaculately clean and comfortable and nicely fitted out as far as possible within the constraints of what I expect is a listed building. The breakfast and restaurant food were excellent, we ate dinner in the restaurant twice and it far exceeded pub grub, more like posh nosh!

Beautiful pub with stunning views and a roaring fire makes it so cosy. The staff are so accommodating and food is all fresh produce. The breakfast is one of the best I ever had. We stayed 2 nights and the bedroom was spacious with a very comfortable bed. We have stayed many times before and the standard is constantly outstanding. We will be back

Very interesting place to stay. Lots of old features. Very comfortable, with friendly helpful staff. Great breakfast and diner.

No chair or desk in the roomAnd a fireplace next to the toilet???Odd

Excellent stay thank you

Our two nights were very comfortable with an excellent breakfast each morning.

Had a lovely stay at the white hart everyone was very helpful and friendly I will definitely be back and would recommend a stay here to anyone.Breakfast was lovely.

Fantastic rooms, so clean and incredibly comfortable beds. Best night sleep in a hotel, blackout blind and excellent heating system made it a very comfortable stay. Wonderful meal in beautiful and cosy pub downstairs. Delicious breakfast the next morning. We would definitely stay again.

A lovely warm friendly welcome. A very nice room with fabulous bathroom and shower. Vegetarian option was delicious. I have had plenty of overnight stays in this area, due to work and this was the best ever. Will definitely be going back. 10/10 for everything. Thank you White Hart.

We had a great evening and overnight stay.Staff were very welcoming and nothing too much trouble.The food is excellent and locally sourced. Our evening meal was delicious and breakfast was equally as good.The rooms are well equipped and good quality linen and towels.We will return

We had a one night stay at the white hart and cannot recommend it enough, the room was lovely, the people couldn’t have done more for us and the breakfast was delicious, the rump steak was probably the best I have ever had and definitely opt for the peppercorn sauce!

Enjoy clean room an and very friendly hostsBreakfast very good

We stayed 5 nights here whilst exploring the area, and we cannot fault it. The rooms were large and had many extra amenities. The whole place was friendly, it was a locals bar but everyone was friendly and happy to chat. The owner couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome and comfortable, and all the staff were helpful. The restaurant food was excellent and always piping hot. They accommodated one of our party who had allergies superbly taking great care. Breakfast was also hot,tasty and filling. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if we are in the area.

I needed somewhere to stay before an early start at Benenden Hospital. This was an ideal location to try to chill out the night before. Good range of beers and great food

Stayed overnight in Elford roomTassimo machine was a pleasant surpriseBrilliant full English breakfast …Bed was so very comfortableWater was lovely and hotVery old pub oozing characterJust like the landlord IvanWould high recommend

Stayed here with my husband and another couple.Very warm welcome, the staff were excellent and the meals in the restaurant were very good.Would definitely recommend.

Very pleasantly surprising how such comfortable rooms had been created in such an interesting old building.Staff were very helpful with our changing timetable and the food was excellent

Very friendly staff. Good food. Excellent location as I was staying for an event at my old school just a few miles up the road. Comfy bed.The room would have benefited from a chair to put your clothes on!

Nice spacious room upstairs, good food downstairs and plenty of rustic atmosphere throughout.

We had a splendid time at the White Hart.We only stayed one night, but the ambiance was delightful, the rooms comfortable and the food good.The staff were all very friendly and helpful.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the White Hart. Our host and his staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. The building is very old and interesting, with lots of beams and sloping floors in places! Our room was lovely and clean, with everything we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfasts and the couple of evening meals we had. Car parking was challenging at times, being busy in the early evenings. With no marked spaces, cars weren't always efficiently parked and there were no designated spaces for blue badge holders. That's the only criticism though - we would definitely recommend this place and hope to stay here again.

Second time staying at the white hart.Such friendly staff.Bedroom and bathroom modern / authentic and clean in an oldie worldy pub…..all mod cons.Fantastic.Felt safe on my own and the staff really do look after you.Great options for gluten freeCan’t thank you enough.

Charming country pub. We were made to feel very welcome. Staff very good. Food excellent. Good value for money. We will return!

I have spent 4 days, 3 nights at the White Hart.What a wonderful stay it has been.Every single member of staff was so delightful.The room was extremely comfortable and charming.The food was delicious and l wish l could have stayed longer.Highly highly recommended……

Clean and comfortable room.Friendly and accommodating staff and good food.Would recommend.

This is the second time I've stayed at this wonderful and extremely comfortable pub and I hope to return again in the not too distant future. This a great place and comes highly recommended.

Bedroom was more than adequate, but some attention is required with the lighting - one area has no lighting in it at all. Enjoyed our stay.

We loved this Inn: the location (and Newenden as well), the room, the food. Everything was perfect, amazing, and also affordable.We will come back soon.

Good value very good pub

When we will be here an other time , we will come again. We enjoyed our time in this pub very much.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The White Hart.Brilliant character & very interesting buildingExtremely polite staffExcellent food.Great bedroom with brilliant on suite bathroomWould highly recommend A*****

Nice room and very smart bathroom, harveys beer, beautiful garden with stunning valley views, good brekky, nice ownerand team. Recommend, but bar can be noisy downstairs (its an old pub), till 11pm.

We have been lucky enough to stay 3 nights at the White Hart. The bedrooms are quaint, large, clean & well stocked with tea & coffee. Lovely shower room, beautiful shower & shower gel, shampoo etc supplied.The pub, like the rooms are ‘oldy worldy’, beamed & cozy. Lovely garden for the summer nights & a beer on a warm evening. A good all day menu is available for lunch & dinner.The breakfasts were lovely & had a good choice - all the staff were so obliging & any request for anything was instantly done for us.We made a good choice in picking the White Hart & anyone staying will not be disappointed.Thank you everyone.

We booked 3 rooms for members of our family to stay in as we were going to a party six miles away. Our trip down from Leicestershire was prolonged by heavy rain and heavy traffic, so it was lovely to arrive at the White Hart and its warm welcome. The bedrooms were all different to cope with the centuries old layout, but all were en suite with tea/coffee, TV, free WiFi and very comfortable beds. The staff were extremely helpful. The cost included breakfast with several flexible options and cooked to order. Highly recommended.

Friendly and helpful

Lovely pub set in quiet hamlet in the beautiful Kent countryside. Lovely comfy room, gorgeous rural views. Superb food and a lovely welcome. Special mention to the bar/ restaurant staff. Nothing was too much trouble

We stayed for one night, after attending a wedding locally. All rooms were spotless and beds were very comfortable. Our breakfast was delicious and the staff just couldn’t do enough for us. From our first booking contact, to check in, to check out. Thankyou!

The room was perfect and we slept like logs in the very comfortable twin beds. All staff members were extremely courteous and helpful. Dinner was delicious with a good choice for vegetarians and breakfast too. Would definitely return and highly recommend to others.

Pub had a great feel to it, nice and busy (Saturday night) staff were really welcoming and sorted our room and parking with no fuss at all. Food was great (we had pizza) breakfast was just as good. All in all 100% reccomend a stay here or a meal or a night in the pub! Garden is great with a superb view. Big thanks to the landlord for trying to help us with motorbike parking, but we'd had a few too many beers by that time! Hope to stay another time

Lovely rooms, real character and decorService excellent, very friendly helpful and attentive staff.Would happily stay again for both business and pleasure

Perfectly situated for enjoying the beautiful High Weald area, the White Hart was both welcoming and hospitable.

Like being with a happy familyExcellent pub / foodwill make sure we bookLarge room next timeThanks

Stayed here for a couple of nights due to business, the room was ample size for me , the beds comfy , a powerful and very large shower and a great breakfast to start the day . What more could you want as a “base” . The room was well stocked with coffee and tea , and even though this was a busy pub you weren’t kept awake with noise . Ample parking for a car , but just remember to pop your number plate into the device on the bar . Friendly and helpful staff ......and I suppose Ivan’s okay as well !!

Lovely old fashioned pub smashing room with roll top bath sloping floors are part of the charmvery nice breakfast lovely friendly staff only downside was noise from the pub on the first night second night was a lot quieter overall a lovely break Thank you look forward to returning

Warm welcome with good rooms and facilities. Good pub that serves very good food & breakfast. Would recommend to anyone.

Room well appointed and bed very comfortablew

Made welcome at this local pub/restaurant. Clean comfy room. Decent real ale and a delicious pizza. Excellent breakfast and friendly host.

When we arrived, the staff were extremely friendly and polite. We were shown our room and we were speechless. The facilities were fabulous, particularly the bathroom. It was clean and tidy, and a perfect room. I’d 100% recommend to anyone looking at staying here.

Beautiful old building, top quality rooms, gorgeous fittings. Very clean. Lovely staff and great food. I’ll def be back!

Lovely immaculately clean rooms with character and ancient beams in an old Georgian coaching innThe linen was fresh and great quality - with smart clean en-suite bath and shower room. Great welcome with friendly staff and excellent breakfast. Old England at its best!I’d happily stay here again.

The atmosphere in this pub is welcoming. I loved the attention to detail everywhere, in the pub itself and in the room. The bed was comfortable, shower great, nice and quiet in the evening. Location is close to many tourist areas. Great breakfast offered to start your day. Stay there, recommended.

Very friendly, Nice rooms in a very old Building, Good Food

Great host great food great room

Lovely well modernised old building with authentic sloping floors and bags of character. Great pub atmosphere in the evening, friendly locals and a good breakfast.

Stayed two nights whilst visiting the Kent and East Sussex heritage railway and the National Trust properties at Scotney Castle and Batemans. Ideal location. We had the smallest double bedroom but it had everything you required - quirky layouts plus low beams added to the charm even the fireplace in the ensuite! The restaurant offered good food at reasonable prices. The hearty breakfast was included. Staff were friendly and helpful. All in all an enjoyable stay with no complaints!

Although the allocated room was small it was okay for a one night stay. The pie we had in the evening was excellent and the beer was well kept. The staff were friendly and accommodating.

Good and clean en suit twin room, good facilities, excellent breakfast. Friendly staff.

Absolutely no complaints. Friendly, helpful staff. Clean, comfortable. Would stay again

Loved our stay here thanks so much. Hope to stay again!

Planned a distance walk from Appledore to Newenden. Picked the White Hart to stay at, did not disappoint. I had just walked 25.5km so I was in a right state when I arrived (thanks for not commenting). 😂Beer selection was excellent, my roast dinner was extremely good, and staff were super helpful and friendly.I had room 2 which was huge. Very comfortable bed and chairs. Plenty of pillows. The coffee/tea set up in the room I don’t think anyone can complain about, it has everything and it’s quality. Massive bathtub that was excellent for soaking in but also a separate shower.All look very new and of good quality. Really nice room.Breakfast was perfect, the people are great. I will define back when I’m not too exhausted to enjoy the garden.Really appreciated everything.

The room was small but very comfortable and had everything I needed. The pizzas are delicious and the breakfast bacon sandwich was very good too.

I stayed for work - I was filming a wedding the following day. The staff were all very accomodating and the locals were lovely and friendly too. Great atmostphere, quiet - I got an early night and fell asleep at 9.30pm with no noise disruption and fantastic food. Would happily stay again over and over!

This is an historic pub, with low beams, an inglenook fireplace with a proper wood fire, and local real ales, kept well. The landlord and the staff are all friendly and welcoming. Our room was in the oldest part of the pub, but it was spacious and sensitively refurbished, with a good-sized en-suite bathroom. The food is plentiful and, in my opinion, perfectly positioned, being unpretentious wholesome pub food, while also being very good quality and a few steps above the most basic. It’s what you really want from pub food. Considering the way prices have risen in the last year, it was also pretty good value. For those of you who like/believe in such things, there is also a resident ghost!

We had a great two night stay at the White Hart. Our room was small but comfortable. The pub has lots of character as does the host. Very welcoming and great breakfast.

We stayed at the White Hart for two nights whilst visiting friends locally.The reception we received was warm and the bar full of locals enjoying the good beer at the pub.Our room was very spacious and clean and the bathroom modern and well equiped.Breakfast was served by the landlord as was delicious.Well worth a vist and we look forward to returning in the future.

Our welcome was super friendly and our hosts were attentive and were always available to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. It was a lovely relaxing 2 night break. Thank you

Very comfortable and quite, thank you.

Easy to find location. Friendly staff, lovely warm cosy room with tea/coffee facilities. Very comfy bed & pillows, excellent clean and hot shower. We were very pleased with our room, ate evening meal down in resturant-very nice food, good service & friendly locals.

I knew the White Hart from previous visits in the past.With an inglenook fireplace, oak beams, hops hanging above the bar, you won't find a better or more traditional country pub.The beers are excellent as is the food and reasonably priced.This time I booked a room and stayed the night as I was attending a function in the pub.The room was basic but comfortable, though there are bigger and more comfortable rooms available.I was in the rear of the pub and it was very quiet even though the pub is on the main road.Perfect.I have always found the pub staff and clientelle to be really friendly and have always had a great time.I thoroughly recommend the White Hart to all visitors whether just popping in for a quick beer or a meal, and for those who are visiting the area for a longer period.

We stayed here to attend our friends' wedding nearby. They were very accommodating and had our room ready early so we could get changed before the wedding. Lovely comfortable room in an original 16th century building. Great breakfast too and even had a vegan option for my ever-hungry husband. Thank you!

It is a very nice location for your trip in the Kent.

We had a lovely one night stay at the White Hart. The staff and particularly the landlord we really welcoming. The room was good, with a nice hot shower. The building is really characterful. I would stay again.

I thoroughly enjoyed my 2 night stay. The staff were excellent and provided an efficient and very friendly service. The food was excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend and stay again if in the area.

We had a fabulous time. We stayed with our 3 year old daughter, who would sleep in our bed. The room was lovely, clean, rain shower and bath tub!, comfortable bed, warm. The atmosphere in the dining area as well as adjacent pub was great. A charming 15th century building with the most impressive fireplace I have ever seen. Great food and really friendly staff. They have a nice garden with a little play area for children and lots of parking space.We had a wonderful stay and will consider returning in the summer ☺️Thanks to everyone.

Great stay

The team at the white hart couldnt do enough we had a lovely short break. The family room is gorgeous and as we arrived the cot and single bed were all ready for the children. The food was beautiful and every request for the children catered for. Will definitely stay again.

We stayed here whilst visiting friends for the weekend. The room was very cosy and clean on arrival. Staff were polite and the breakfast was excellent. Will stay again on our next trip to see friends.

Came here for an overnight stay to escape a sleepover by 10 x 9yo girls celebrating our granddaughter's birthday.Started with a drink in front of the inglenook fireplace, then just chatted and chilled until dinner time (which they were happy to bring forward)Food was high quality pub grub, way above average, but not "precious" service was great, informal, friendly, but attentive.Bed was comfortable and room was spacious (a free upgrade) clean and tastefully furnished.After a good night's sleep the full english breakfast was served piping hot on oversized square plates (also hot) it might be a small thing but not many places manage to bring everything to the table, all at the optimum temperature at the same time, Coffee and juice were topped up without one having to ask or leave the table, the log fire was already well-alight at breakfast and was a great focal point.Plenty of room in the car park, decent quality fast broadband, no hidden extras of any kind.We drove on to Bodiam Castle, a few minutes away, on a cloudless winter's day and were among the first through the gate, which made the overall experience perfect.If you are looking for a base to explore the very best countryside of Sussex and Kent you would do well to consider the White Hart.

Can sum it up in a few words.........accomodation first class, comfortable bed, excellent shower room.Good selection of breakfast, and service great, and friendly.Allin all 100% satisfied.....would I stay there again ?....Absolutely

Apart from a minor problem with the booking(which was immediately sorted & apologies given) our stay was perfect! The room was wonderful & the breakfast delicious! We have stayed here many times & will continue to do so! Thank you!

Another great stay. Cards on the table I am biased. We have been coming to stay at the White hart for several years now.If it wasn't any good we would not keep coming back.A traditional 17th (?) century inn with a huge roaring firepllace. Great quality well kept ales. (The brewery from the local brewery drinks his own brew here so he must know something!) From the moment you walk in the door there is a warm welcome from a team that all seem happy to be there.The food we had was amazing and the sunday roast one of the best we've ever had.We are counting the days until we can come down and stay again.As you may see from our other reviews of the White Hart don't expect a generic hotel experience but if you want a quirky tradional British Inn full of great things and great people this is the place.

Enjoyable stay all very helpful

Warm comfortable with a great welcome.

We had a lovely stay at The White Heart. The food was absolutely amazing, service was great. The room was very clean and really nice decor. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend it.

Back again for the second time clean comfortable accommodation, great food in the restaurant and welcoming staff

The room was very well equipped and delightful. The staff looked after me very well and made sure that I had breakfast despite my early start. A very good stay. Thanks you.

My husband & I thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay.We received a warm & friendly welcome upon arrival & enjoyed a delicious dinner on the first night.The room was lovely - beautifully decorated, a great shower & huge bath & warm.The breakfasts were also good. To be recommended.

We were welcomed with a warm reception. The rooms were exceptionally clean, decor beautiful. Breakfast waslovely.

A very welcoming pub from the moment we walked through the door into the bar with its blazing fire. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was clean, comfortable and well appointed. Breakfasts and evening meals were also very good. An ideal base for exploring Kent and East Sussex.

As above. Definitely stay here again. First class service and food.

Good hotel and fine food. Only down side was the lack of a chair in my room.

We stayed here as a break on our way home and it was very welcoming. Good service, too much food…and a great position with the river banks a few minutes walk. Would strongly recommend….

Everything was perfect

Another comfortable night at The White Hart. Nice garden area. Good breakfast. My steak was good although a limited evening menu

Short overnight stay on our way home.Perfect for what we needed.Very clean room and facilities in the pub for an evening meal and breakfast were great.Friendly staff.

Beautiful B&B. Staff allowed us to have an early check-in. Breakfast was very nice too!

Great staff and food and accommodation.

Brief stay this time, made very welcome. Comfortable accomodation and breakfast facilitated extra early for me, as i needed to be away early that morning. Would definately use again.

Very clean, tidy and overall a very enjoyable experience. Breakfast was fantastic.

The staff were very nice and the food was great.Would recommend.Thanks.

We stayed at the family room which is on the road side. The bed was a bit too short for my husband but it was very comfortable. The extra sofabed was ok, although a bit hard on one side. The road was quite noisy, but in the night there wasn't so much traffic, so it was ok. The pub is very nice; very good food and pizza's too, very friendly staff, gave us also good information about where to go. And you can feel the history, especially in the fire place. Garden nice with stunning view.

As a couple of touring cyclists the accommodation and restaurant were ideal for us.Secure Bike storage was also provided.The room I stayed was spacious and clean with all the usual facilities - this is an extremely old building but excellently maintained, the only downside to this was the creaky floors and thin walls so you could hear people moving around when coming to bed and as the Inn is right on the road the traffic was quite noisy at times.All in all though an enjoyable visit and would recommend for someone on a tour.

With another cycling friend, we stayed at the White Hart and enjoyed our stay.The rooms are clean and comfortable, the shower is excellent (always important for cyclists) and it is possible to keep the bike locked overnight.The restaurant is superb and the prices are reasonable. Breakfast is missing a little in diversity but is acceptable.

I was so impressed by my stay at the White Hart. The room was beautiful with everything I could need, but it was the service I received from Page on arrival that I was so grateful for. I arrived much earlier than my check in time after a long car journey, hoping I might be able to get changed for a wedding - she not only quickly sorted my room so I could get changed but she even got me a coffee! So welcoming and such a lovely place to stay - wished I'd been able to stay longer! Thank you!

I stayed with my sister, who has Autism and we both had a very relaxing time. Initially greeted by a warm fire and friendly staff and locals. We were able to sit slightly away from people to enjoy a delicious evening meal. The room was quiet, comfortable and clean.The White Hart is a beautiful place and we will both be back again.

Booked the Room for My 83 Year Old Father for an initial 3 Night stay over last Christmas, which we cancelled and re-arranged for early April ‘22 due to COVID - With No issues - We have a Caravan locally and booked him in to the Pub where they could not have been more caring and considerate to my Father during his stay - The Pub has a lovely atmosphere whether there are locals at the bar or it’s empty - So homely and welcoming. The Room was perfect, in keeping with the age and quirkiness of the pub but at the same time fitted with modern Shower & WC, whilst being lovely and clean.A MASSIVE Thank You to Landlord Ivan and his Staff who’s care and attention paid to my Father During his stay is greatly appreciated.Highly Reccomend.

Stayed for one night Dinner, B&B.Lovely old building original charm and features.A great all round atmosphere.Food was really lovely.Very comfortable beds.

Great everything!Beautiful pub, great food, friendly staff, comfortable room, ideal spot on the way to or from the coast.

Our 2nd time. We chose two smaller rooms this time but they were at the side and back so no traffic noise. Sibley though had a boiler noise which was the only downside. Dinner and breakfast both excellent, likewise the staff, and what a beautiful building with fantastic fireplace!

Ideal location for attending a family wedding. The Hotel staff were very friendly and efficient. The hotel is a historical gem with excellent facilities and very good value for money

Got a lovely warm welcome from a young lady and was upgraded to a superior room. Very cosy pub and restaurant. Staff were so helpful and friendly. Food was delicious. Would stay again

Clean friendly withwonderful food.

Had a lovely weekend here the building is so beautiful and very tastefully decorated, our evening meal was delicious and the service excellent, all the staff were so friendly. Being asked what time we would like breakfast was so nice and the breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Hope to come back again in the near future. Thanks for a great stay x

The White Hart is a genuine gem. Without exception, all the staff are lovely, kind and welcoming. Service is excellent, great food and lovely rooms. Perfect! Will be back for sure. Thank you

A very comfortable room with lots of lovely fluffy white towels.

Stayed for one night in a lovely room with en-suite . Very clean and had everything we needed.Staff were friendly and helpful from the minute we came in. We a as Lao enjoyed a delicious meal in the restaurant and a hearty fresh breakfast in the morning !

Spent 1 night here as a family prior to Sunday lunch on the Kent & East Sussex Pullman for our Ruby Wedding Anniversary.The station is moments from the pub. Rooms were very comfortable and spotlessly clean,food was very good and staff friendly and helpful.Would highly recommend.

Really good pub. Clean and nice rooms. Great food. Friendly staff.

Great welcome and stay afterterrible journey down. Good food , helpful staff and a warm comfortable room at a reasonable price.

I stayed two nights and felt very comfortable and well looked after. Great chef, lovely wine selection. Very clean. Friendly staff and locals.Window in my bedroom ready for a clean, otherwise perfect. Thank you.

Friendly staff from the start, fantastic diner, belly pork tender and beautifully cooked, season kale and roasted potatoes, so good, room lovely and clean, quiet. Next in need somewhere to stay for work purposes, this the place.Thank you

A big thank you to Lotty,you are a natural at customer service, you did an excellent, fantastic job!

Comfortableand enjoyable

Lovely spacious room and bathroom.Especially liked the comfortable bed.Very welcoming family run Inn.

We had a lovely stay at The White Hart, they were incredibly accommodating and made us feel so comfortable.The room was lovely and very clean. And we would recommend anyone staying in the area to stay here. Thank you!

We had such a lovely stay at the White Hart. Our room and bathroom were big, clean and had a nice feel to them. The staff at the White Hart were SO helpful and friendly, they really made our stay. The walls are quite thin so ear plugs are advised but this is due to the age of the pub.

Food and beer good, room comfy and quiet enough for me.

From the moment we arrived the staff were very helpful and friendly, the room was good. and A very comfy bed. We had a lovely meal at night too, with a very good breakfast to see us on our way, we loved the pub building (so old) with lots of outdoor space, thanks for our stay

Such beautiful rooms, amazing staff and incredible food. Highly recommended

Had two nights B&B and an evening meal. All very good, lovely authentic Inn with very pleasant staff.Would definitely stay again if we are in that area.

Very large room with comfy King-size bed, new flat-screen TV, excellent coffee machine and choice of shower and bath. A good nights sleep and would have stayed longer, but fully booked. We hope to return later in the year.

It would be a pleasure to have you back to stay with us, please do email us on reservations@thewhitehartnewenden.co.uk for future bookings and we\'ll be able to check our best availability for you!We look forward to seeing you again!Best wishes,Paige

Lovely room, restaurant/ stable outside, good food and play area for the kids. The only downfall the room shaked everytime a lorry or large vehicle went pass outside. Whole room would shake and wake us up

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the beautiful White Hart in Newenden. The staff were helpful, professional, warm and friendly. The White Hart is a real gem. Our room was modern, clean and comfortable. Dining in the restaurant in the evening was most enjoyable. A good selection of dishes with generous portions. Our ribeye steaks were cooked perfectly, served with fresh locally sourced tasty vegetables and salad. I'd guess the chips were cooked in duck or goose fat. The dessert "salted caramel brownie", one of the best I have ever tasted and the cheese board sublime, and again generous. An excellent selection of beers and some of the finest made literally up the road by the smart and dedicated people at the Rother Valley Brewing Company.The breakfast "The White Harty" was just the ticket to set us up for the day before the short walk to the local station and boarding the steam train and exploring on the Kent and East Sussex Railway. A wonderful team at the White Hart and we look forward to visiting again. 10/10

We had a lovely stay at the The White Hart. The staff were friendly and helpful and the bedroom was really cosy and inviting. The pub garden was great for the kids and the breakfast was fab. I would definitely stay again.

We had a great stay at The White Hart.The staff are brilliant. Extremely friendly and helpful.The room was lovely with an upmarket bathroom.All very clean.The breakfast was sumptuous and portions were very generous.

Very good, as expected, we have stayed before.

Quaint pub in lovely village with walks from door along River Rother. Room very comfortable and everything in working order. Bed was sooo comfy. Clean. Ate at pub each night (stayed 4 nights) varied menu even for the veggies of our party. All the food was delicious, especially the Sunday Roast. Cooked breakfast hearty and well cooked. Staff were so friendly and couldn’t do enough to make our stay comfortable. Would definitely recommend.

Pam, this is such a lovely review! Thank you for your kind words. we are so glad you and your party enjoyed your time with us and we hope you and your family had the most fabulous weekend you\'ll remember for a lifetime!Hopefully we will see you all again in the future, best wishes and a huge congratulations to the happy couple!Best wishes, Ivan, Paige, Lottie & all The White Hart Team

Hubby and I stayed at this lovely pub for a couple of nights whilst visiting East Sussex & Kent.We were welcomed to the pub and shown to our room, which was Vinson (room 1),it's a large open room with a beamed ceiling and the old fireplace utilised for the tea/coffee/kettle etc.The room looked out onto the neighbouring Oast house, fields and the car park,a couple of chairs and a table placed at the window was pleasant to sit at.There is a lovely en suite bathroom with a vanity table which was a lovely touch.There was a slight problem with the bathroom door not closing as the latch was bent, this was sorted efficiently by the staff.We ate here both nights, sat in the lovely garden first evening with spaced benches for social distancing and the 'stables'looked cosy.The food was very good and the staff friendly, food service was quick.We would both recommend the BanoffeeSundae if you like a dessert.The real ale on tap is from local breweries and the usual lagers etc.Breakfast in the morning was served in the restaurant by the landlord,it was a good breakfast with cereal/yogurts/fruit,juices/tea & coffee and various options of cooked breakfast, tasty food which was served efficiently and quickly.The atmosphere in the pub was friendly and the staff very helpful.The whole place was very clean and tables washed down regularly.The White Hart is a good base for visiting local areas such as Rye, Bodiam, Dungeness etc.it was lovely to go back to after a day of visiting places.

A very pleasant overnight stay while visiting relatives in the area. Helpful and very friendly staff. Lovely little village with beautiful views. Would definitely book again!

Our 2 night stay at the White Hart was fab. We ate in the restaurant one night and the food and the service were both great. A very comfortable well laid out room. The breakfasts in the morning were very tasty.

I used to live up the road form the White Hart when i was younger so it's played a part in my life for as long as i can remember.This is still an amazing pub with great beer and lovely food and the loveliest atmosphere.The rooms are big and comfortable and staying in such an old building is always charming.The location is beautiful right on the river.The staff are great and very attentive.We'll be back soon!

Ticked all the boxes. Beautiful building and setting. Very friendly staff. Very good food. Fantastic room. What a find!

The White Hart has the beauty and relaxed comfort of an old building combined with lovely clean bright rooms, great food and service and is not far from Great Dixter and Sissinghurst Gardens - what's not to like?

Response

Good Morning Pat,Thank you for your wonderful review! We\\\'re all so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay with us! We look forward to having you stay with us again in the future!Best Wishes,Ivan, Paige & The White Hart Team

I was attending a training course and looking for local bed and breakfast. The room was excellent and breakfast was arranged to suit me, as i had early starts. It was also nice knowing that i could get an evening meal from their great menu once i returned in the evening, without having to travel out. Highly reccomend.

From start to finish I could not fault the staff the service or the building. Booking, sorting an early check in and sorting transport staff were really helpful and efficient (Paige!!) The Landlord Ivan was very welcoming and hospitable, all this and great ale and a really really good Sunday roast. Fully expect to be back

Lovely place, very friendly and welcoming staff

Lovely pub, clean and quaint rooms. Very friendly staff. Breakfast lovely and has a great summer beer garden. Good value all round.

Beautiful and quaint, traditional pub with a lovely clean room, really comfortable beds and hot water! The breakfast was delicious and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Defo recommend!

We stayed just one night in room 6, a really cosy, comfortable room with all mod cons.The bed was extremely comfortable, everywhere was very clean and tidy and the en suite had everything you'd expect.The staff at the White Hart are amazing! So hard working, helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. We were made to feel as though this was our local and we were regular visitors.The food was excellent as was the service and the breakfast was delicious.I can't think of a single negative thing to say about the place.We stayed as it was very close to Great Dixter, and we will definitely book a room again every time we visit the gardens in the future.Highly recommended.

Very welcoming. Lovely room, immaculately clean and well-equipped. Excellent dinner and breakfast. Garden beautifully laid out for social distancing and with a great view over surrounding countryside. Real ales from nearby brewery.Good value. Thoroughly recommended.

The pub was easy to find, such a lovely pub with lovely log fire, just what we needed after a wet cold day out in Hastings.The family room was perfect for a couple and 2 kids.Nicely decorated, clean and looked like it had been newly refurbed. Was equipped with coffee machine, including hot chocolate and biscuits which went down very well with the kids in the morning whilst they waited for breakfast!We also had a lovely dinner and they were very accommodating.Would definitely recommend.

I found the staff and owners very friendly,and helpful A very warm environment cosy great facilities followed all Covid guidelines.My room was a treat comfortable warm, and a coffee pod machine. My only criticism and it’s minor was the price £80 I think £60 would have represented fair value, that aside I would recommend it highly.

We had a smaller room with twin beds but very comfortable. Some of the double bedded rooms looked wonderful.Very old,interesting place. Would have preferred a kettle in the room rather than the machine that was there.

Nice place to stay friendly staff and locals

Enjoyed a lovely weekend at the White Hart, Newenden. A building steeped in history, with low beams and oozing with character in a very historic village. We stayed in room 2, Waterfields. Our photographs probably don't do it justice but it is a huge room with modern decor and furnishing balanced with the traditional beams and quirky layout of a building some 400 years old. Loads and I mean loads of storage of storage space, extremely comfortable bed and a huge bath just make the stay even more memorable. And at this unique challenging time, we were impressed with their Covid cleanliness measures. Very hearty breakfast served, promptly served by very welcoming hosts. Though we didn't spend an evening in the bar due to other plans it looked very cosy with the log fire ablaze and warm friendly atmosphere generated by the staff and patrons. We would definitely return and especially consider this in the next two months as we noticed they are offering a stay for 2 and get an additional night for free offer during October and November, on a very reasonably priced room anyway. Thank you again all at the White Hart.

Really lovely 2night break. Very convenient location. Room overlooked rear garden, evening meal great and lovely breakfast. Very relaxing break. Will visit again.

Stayed here over night in a lovely room with everything you could wish for.Set in a beautiful area of Kent.Staff are professional and friendly.Breakfast was great, would definitely recommend.

Response

\'Friendly and welcoming\' is always what we aim for and it\'s lovely to hear you found us to be exactly that.Thank you for taking the time to review your stay and we hope to welcome you back again soon.

This was our second stay here, although we have been to The White Hart many times for just food or drinks and not stayed.We love this place, it is just beautiful.Perfect food, perfect drinks, perfect atmosphere and perfect rooms...what more could you ask for.See you again next year.

Fully recommend the White Hart. Beautifully furnished room, fluffy white towels, lots of space. Good breakfast and large pub garden. A typicallyEnglish Kent village, lovely church, boating facilities close by and cricket on the green!

Outstanding staff, beautiful rooms, lovely mix of period features and modern amenities. Food was excellent. Thoroughly recommended. Easy access to many places of interest.

Response

Thank you for your glowing review and recommendation, we couldn\'t ask for more and hope to welcome you back in the future.

Room very pleasant to be in and comfortable in every respect. I like to read in bed and the bedside light does not give sufficient light for that so the full light has to be on. It is just a minor point.The staff were all very welcoming and helpful. Dinner was well cooked, had good flavour and was satisfying. The minute steak was a bit sinewy and chewy.

A great 2 night stop. The room was comfy, the staff friendly and helpful and the food was good and freshly cooked to order.Really nice traditional pub with a great atmosphere

Response

Thank you for your wonderful review, we\'re so glad you enjoyed our hospitality and hope to welcome you back again.

We enjoyed our two nights at the White Hart. The pib was full of character and our room was comfortable. It was the perfect amount of time to explore and enjoy the area of Newenden. The pub is in good distance of many seaside towns and also has the benefit of local attractions too, such as walks along the river Rother and the Boating Station. The staff were friendly and the food was good. Thanks for having us!

Response

You\'re very welcome and thank you for posting a review!It\'s great to hear you enjoyed our hospitality and the local attractions that are literally on our doorstep!For a small village there is plenty to do without having to jump in the car!As you say, we have the River Rother on our doorstep, the Bodiam Boating Station for the hire of kayaks, stand up paddle boards and rowing boats and the Kent & East Sussex Railway for steam train rides!The historic town of Rye, the sandy beaches at Camber and the seaside town of Hastings are only a short drive away too!

Greeted by lovely staff, Thankyou. Room was lovely and clean, styled beautifully and extra little touches included. The food was fab. We shall definitely return.

Thank you for posting this wonderful review of your stay.We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

Booked last minute and was so pleased on arrival (read some harsh reviews on the journey and was really worried but they turned out to be not accurate) lovely welcome really nice pub love how the stairs are hidden away the room was lovely, clean and very big bathroom was the sameThe rooms are so cute! With wooden beams making it feel historical in a good way!Breakfast was nice, filling and made to orderWe had 3 dinners at the pub all were tasty and served promptlyStaff very friendly and accommodating

Response

Thank you, thrilled you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back again in the future.

Clean comfortable room. Excellent shower although would be handy to have a hook or rail for the towels. But that’s a minor thing.Pleasant chatty staff and a delightful breakfast with a good selection of options.Would recommend .

Response

We\'re glad you enjoyed your stay and are thrilled that you would recommend us, we can\'t ask for any more than that!(Apologies about the towel hooks.There is a an over door hook system for towels and having checked the room after your visit found it to be facing the wrong way so couldn\'tbe used when in the bathroom.We\'ve sorted this now but, once again, please accept our apologies).

Very good for families. You have all the facilities, easy-going atmosphere and the scenary from the garden is really nice.

Response

Thank you for your review.We hope to welcome you back again soon.

Stayed 6/7/20 - 9/7/20What a lovely gem of a find. I as a bit reticent to stay anywhere given these ever changing times. I went because my child and 12 friends went camping 300meters away at the Bodmin Boating station (lovely campsite) The cleanliness of The Whitehart was exceptional. The customer service went above and beyond. Nothing I asked for was too much trouble and was handled professionally and warmly.The breakfast was delicious and filling and the suppers were delightful.Ivan the owner and his staff always made sure that I was comfortable and that I had everything that I needed. Wonderful establishment. Thank you to all of the staff at the Whitehart.

Response

Thank you so much for posting this amazing review.Best wishes, Ivan

Excellent accommodation , food and atmosphere. If you like an old worlde traditional but comfortable environment then this fits the bill. The floor may not be level , the joinery at angles and the walls not always upright but it has heaps of charm and interest, it beats the more modern 'Inn'location any day. The owner is there to serve and to see that all is ok. We will be back.

Response

What a fantastic review, thank you.We look forward to your return.Kind regards, Kate

As always, excellent service, good value for money.Well recommended.

We frequently visit friends who live in Northiam and always stay at the White Hart. We stayed this weekend and again Ivan and the team really looked after us. Newly redecorated rooms, coffee machines, wonderful cooked breakfast and vegetarian options which was great for my daughter in law. Really made to feel very welcome. Thank you Ivan....we’ll be back again.

A very friendly and accommodating hotel. Good food served in a friendly bar or restaurant. The rooms retain plenty of the old character and have been sympathetically modernised. The en-suite was less luxurious.

Response

Thank you for your lovely comments.The en-suite bathroom, although perfectly functional, we agree,does not compliment what is a lovely room.As part of our programme to continually improve our guest accommodation works are scheduled to redesign and refit the en-suite, to provide a larger more modern bathroom.Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to post a review.Kind regards, The White Hart

Great place for a short break especially if visiting the many local sites of interest - Bodiam, Great Dixter, Sissinghurst, Rye etc. Excellent food (both breakfast and evening meal) with a good selection of vegetarian options. Sunny beer garden with plenty of places to sit. Bedroom and en suite had everything you’d need and were clean and tidy. My room was at the side/back of the building over the kitchen so although there was some noise from the kitchen it was quiet by 10ish (once service had finished). Comfy bed. Helpful and friendly proprietor and staff - evening staff are worthy of special mention for this; they were very good at their job, very helpful and approachable.

Response

\"Top marks\", we can\'t ask for more than that!Thank you for your glowing review.Kind regards, Kate

Response

Thank you for your lovely review.Kind regards, Kate

We loved this old building with all its quirks eg the low beams in the bar and the sloping floor in our bedroom. The room was spacious and clean and the helpful landlord provided us with a kettle and teabags when we couldn't get the hang of the fancy coffee machine! The food, breakfast and evening meals, was good and the staff were all very pleasant and helpful - and my husband liked the local ale. What more could you ask?

Response

Thank you very much for your lovely review, it\'s great to hear you enjoyed your stay.Kind regards, Kate

I enjoyed my stop over at the White Hart, en route to the ferry! Friendly staff, good food and great cask beer, pleasant beer garden and nice atmosphere! Room was on the small side, but the price reflected that I felt!All in all very satisfied!

A1 for everything from the excellent room size and decor to the dinner quality. We will certainly be back. Very close to Bodiam Castle a beautiful river and boat rides to Bodiam. The Kent & Sussex steam trains are very clise by.

Lovely old pub with very good food and service

We really enjoyed our stay at The White Hart. The pub is really old with loads of character. It offered a good breakfast and had a comprehensive menu. The bed was very comfortable and the room was small but well decorated, fresh and clean. As with old building there are lots of nooks and crannies, creaky stairs and wobbly windows which add to its' charm. The location is excellent with lots of places to visit nearby. We would definitely recommend The White Hart and would be happy to stay again. Thank You.

Response

Many thanks for your lovely review and recommendation.We hope to welcome you back in the future.Kind regards, Kate

Stayed for four nights. Room was comfortable, all we needed. Evening meals were a delight, enough variety to keep us both happy. Local beer worth trying. Staff friendly and helpful. Will visit again.

Stayed one night on way to visit family. Gorgeous room with a lovely comfortable bed and superb breakfast.

Very enjoyable overnight stay - the property and garden look great from the outside and the bar/dining areas were well decorated and characterful too.Warm welcome from the staff, who showed us up to our very comfortable and spotless room.Loved the decor here too, and the little lounge and TV area on the landing was an unusually nice touch.The food in the evening and the cooked breakfast was delicious, although the cereal/fruit/juice offering was basic.Would recommend The White Hart to anyone looking for accommodation in the Newenden area.Particularly handy for those visiting the Bodiam Boating Station or the Kent & East Sussex Railway.

The reason for our stay was due to me needing some surgery at an ungodly hour in a nearby hospital. On hearing this the staff made everything so convenient for us, arranging for our needs in an amazing way. Breakfast at my wife’s convenience, allowing my wife and family to use all the facilities even after our official check out time. In addition the meal we had the previous night was loved by all of us, with two young children, that’s not normally the case. Can’t thank all at the White Hart enough, and we will definitely be back.

Response

Thank you for your thank you.We were more than happy to help to make thinks a little easier for you and your family and hope everything went well for you.Looking forward to welcoming you back again in the future.Kind regards, Kate

Very nice room, enjoyed a drink in the lovely garden on a warm summer evening before dinner, which was standard pub grub. Breakfast OK but nothing special.

Response

Lovely to hear you had a pleasant stay with us, found the room to be nice and our garden a lovely place to have a drink before dinner, which we hope you enjoyed.We receive great comments about our breakfasts but there is always room for improvement so we would be grateful for any suggestions you may have.Thank you for choosing to stay with us and thank you for your review, kind regards, Kate

Very enjoyable stay. Tastefully decorated room and tasty food.

Lovely to hear you enjoyed your stay.Kind regards, Kate

This is a traditional old inn, dating back to the 1500s, in a rural situation. Lovely large, quirky bedroom with sloping floor, good quality sheets, perfectly good shower. Friendly staff. Enjoyable dinner and full English breakfast. Bathroom could have been a little cleaner, but we enjoyed our stay here.

The rooms were comfortable, staff very friendly and helpful, and the food good.Light sleepers might need earplugs to cut out the pub and road noise.

Really lovely room with very comfortable bed, cosy pillows and blankets. The USB port on the plug socket in the room was helpful as I’d left my phone changer adapter behind. Quiet stay and great breakfast (which was arranged at an earlier time for me as I needed to leave for work early). Thank You. Would defiantly stay again.

Thank you, lovely to hear you enjoyed your stay.Kind regards, Kate

I'll start by saying I am biased.We love the white hart and come down for a couple of days as often as we can.What is not to like?The food is great, the beer is great, the locals are welcoming, the staff is fantastic. It is in our opinion everything a good British pub should be.As I have said before it is a working pub and so you should expect some noise. Its floors are not level, there is no lift but if those sort of things are important to you then there are many hotel chains only too happy to take your money.But if you are looking for a warm welcome, home cooked locally sourced food including a range (6, when we visited) vegetarian options, great local real ales and a variety of beers, comfortable bedrooms if you chose to stay over and above all, a warm welcome then visit the White Hart.You'll be glad you did.We will be back soon.

Bath too high and dangerous as no handle so could not use bath safely to get in let alone get out so unable even to shower.Modern kettle a hassle and unable to make decaf coffee. A simple kettle would be better than this modern affair ! A shelf by basin required for washing items . The very narrow beading inadetaqute Also bathroom light too limited for shaving

Beautiful venue, very cosy with super friendly staff. Possibly the best scramble eggs ever. We stay on Easter weekend and they let us hide our kids easter eggs in the playground of the hotel garden. Village is beautiful as well. Excellent stay overall, highly recommended.

We stayed for one night with two children aged 5 and 8. The room was perfect and beautifuly decorated. The food in the pub was great and good value and the breakfast in the morning was great quality. The girls also loved playing in the play area in the garden. We will definitely come back and stay again.

Thank you, lovely to hear you enjoyed your stay.Kind regards, Kate.

This pub has friendly welcoming staff, good food, comfy beds in a room big enough for a family of four and a nice beer garden with a children’s play area. We had a lovely stay here whilst visiting family and castles in the local area. The shower is a bit small and not built for the taller person but that was really the only downside. Would happily stay again.

I have to declare I am biased. We love the WHite Hart and have stayed often. It has everything. Friendly staff and locals. Great food and beer and well-appointed rooms.This is a gem of a pub.Full of character and characters. Yes the floors are slopey and there is some road noise but if you want a REAL experience 0f a REAL English pub this is it.We have already booked our next stay.Be prepared for some traffic noise and bar noise as this is a working pub and a hub of the local community.Looking for a Hilton go elsewhere. Looking for a great pub with great beer great foodand a great welcome the White Hart is the place.

This ancient village inn on the A28 is a solid, traditional choice for budget travelers touring National Trust properties in the Weald. The Sibley room is small and quaint and nicely set up. It had a lovely, misty sunset view over arable fields. Excellent locally sourced food in the popular restaurant - the wild mushrooms at dinner and delicious Full English breakfast were very enjoyable. The landlord was chatty and friendly, and I very much appreciated his manager's open-ness to accommodating environmentally sensitive guests with fragrance-free products. It makes a big difference to travelers! Thank you.

We had a lovely stay, the room was so lovely and warm, It was -4 in the night but the room was cosy all night and very comfortable.The pub had a magnificent fireplace which was roaring when we arrived at 6pm and when we went for breakfast at 9am. Food was very good too!

Recently stayed here on a Friday night and couldn’t have been happier. My room was well appointed and very comfortable. The staff were all very welcoming and helpful. I will definitely be booking up again. Great value for money. Highly recommended.
