The White Hart Hotel

Lovely stay. Rooms little dated but we liked the quirky pictures etc showing some of it's history. Pleasant to have entertainment if you choose to drink in the bar. Despite having entertainment, our room was quiet. Drinks from the bar are reasonably priced. Breakfast very nice. You are given a slip to choose from and can choose a time to suit you within their 'window'. Good to see vegetarian and gluten free choices were available although these do not directly affect us! We had a premier room which was situated on the first floor immediately above the front entrance. .it was a good size with an adequate but dated bathroom however quite expensive at £140 per night compared to other places we have stayed recently. Plenty of tea/coffee /milk in the room and a fridge for convenience. Also a pedestal fan which we were very grateful for! We checked reviews before we booked, that were mixed, which was in honesty the main reason we upgraded, however we were pleasantly surprised. Food Hygiene rating is a big deal for us and it has a 5*. Reviewers stated rooms were not cleaned during their stay, our room wasn't cleaned but we were only there for 2 nights so it did not bother us. On arrival there were 4 large white bath towels and 4 white hand towels along with toiletries in our room - adequate for our stay, . The bed was made up with clean white bedding and was reasonably comfortable. . Personally, we do not need someone to clean up after us for that short time and pretty certain we could have asked for more towels if we'd needed more as there was a woman cleaning the public areas etcm

The house is a beautiful, historical place and very well located (5 minute walking from train station). The staff is amazing, always smiling and helping us whenever we needed it. Hayle is such a quiet place in Cornwall with an amazing sand beach, I totally recommend it if you don't want to stay in the busiest places. The hotel is really 2 minutes away from the bus stop that connects Hayle to St Ives and Penzance, for example. Breakfast is nice, I recommend it.

The staff were all friendly, efficient and very helpful especially the little blond waitress - named Taylor? Breakfast was ok. We prefer not to have to choose the night before. Poor quality bread for toast which quickly went soggy. The room was noisy because of traffic. the other side of the hotel might have been quieter? The beds were extremely comfortable - the best we've encountered anywhere.

This is the third time we have stayed so that says a lot. Great food and price includes a generous breakfast. Lovely staff who are very friendly and yet leave you in peace. I love the shabby chic look and the hotel is full of antiques and oil paintings. The location in Hayle is very picturesque and convenient for public transport or if you hire a car from Newquay airport it is not far from Penzance or St Ives. The ' White Hart' has character and is frequented by the locals for the notorious Sunday roast but has a fantastic vegetarian menu also.

We loved the traditional decoration, the paintings and furnishings- giving it a warm and welcoming environment.
