We have just returned from a 2 night stay at the White Hart. The accommodation was wonderful, even though it was up a narrow winding staircase the Abingdon Suite was well worth the effort. All of the staff were excellent, professional, polite and personable a rare occurance in hotels these days. The food was also excellent and included a reasonable... More

Beautiful old world hotel with lots of beams and nooks and crannies. We stayed in the Abingdon suite which was a bit tricky to get to due to the steep and narrow winding staircase but we had a large bedroom with a separate sitting room. Bed was large, clean and confortable and everything worked in the bathroom. Food and service... More

We have just returned from a weekend stay in this hotel and it was well worth the money. The food is excellent and the atmosphere is friendly and laid back, the hotel is in a quiet little village with good walks nearby. Our break also included admission to Blenheim Palace & discount tickets to spend at Bicester Village Designer Outlet.... More

We stayed for two nights dinner, bed and breakfast in April on a Travelzoo deal. Very friendly reception and we were given the Abingdon suite, which I think was a complimentary upgrade. The hotel dates from 1691 and is full of character with its wooden beams, creaky floors and narrow, winding staircases. Our suite was large, comfortable, clean and well... More

Dorchester-on-Thames is lovely and despite being barely-known these days, was historically quite an important village. The White Hart is around 400-450 years old I think and still has an old charm. Modern enough, but not knocked about too spoil the atmosphere. As everyone else has said: Sean the manager, and all of the staff, are very welcoming, friendly and nothing... More

We just had a lovely 2 night stay here. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was good and breakfast was fantastic! We had a room in the cottage which is separate from the main hotel - room was a good size with two fold out beds for our boys.

We stayed for one night here in April and found the staff very helpful and friendly. The room we had was lovely and very comfortable (and very warm!). Breakfast was nice with a good choice for cooked breakfast and for continental breakfast. I would recommend this hotel to people staying in the area.
