“We had a very nice stay @ The White Horse (1 night- 2 couples ).The hosts were very helpful as we're all the staff. The rooms were clean,tidy and warm.The bed was very comfortable.No problem with the shower/ water temps.The towels were first class. The pub itself is great ( low ceiling/ Stone slabs/log fires - just up our street) with a nice selection of beers.There is a garden area at the rear.The menu offering was good and offers more than just pub grub.Its and great location for walking up to the Ridgeway and the White Horse itself. The breadfast offering was also very good. Large ,free,car park opposite.”

“Me and my husband stayed here for a long weekend, the pub is set in a beautiful village, the rooms are clean tidy, very comfy bed and power shower, we also had a smart tv and a nesspresso machine which was a bonus! The food is outstanding, the pride the chef takes in his food really does show! The staff were all amazing during our stay, with special thanks to Jono and Michelle for being so welcoming, and Jono even offering us a lift up to the white horse hill, which was wonderful. The show stopper though was definitely the Sunday roast! We had roast sirloin of beef and a roasted hen of the woods, along with cauliflower cheese. The menus here are honestly fabulous, so much choice there is something for everyone! We will definitely be back when the weather is abit warmer!”

“I enjoyed an overnight stay at The White Horse whilst walking the Ridgeway. My room - in an annexe adjacent to the pub - was very clean and comfortable, a good place to relax after a hot day of walking. I stayed on Thursday, which is pizza night, all cooked in a genuine wood-fired oven. Huge pizza, and absolutely delicious, as was my breakfast next morning. The landlord and all staff were very welcoming and friendly. Recommended.”

“I went here for a sunday lunch and had the pork roast, with a crumble of the day as dessert. I really enjoyed the food here, and would definitely go out of my way to return. High quality ingredients and craftsmanship with all the food, and great service. Lovely little pub. Well deserved 5 stars.”

“Gorgeous old little pub with a nice garden and pizza! Stopped off after a visit to Uffington Horse. Pizza was very good and the dough was perfect. They catered for a plant based diet. Really lovely atmosphere in the pub too!”
