Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests often appreciate the White Hart Hotel's traditional British style and its central location, a short walk from St Austell station and close to attractions such as Charlestown. Many find the rooms spacious, and some highlight the excellent breakfast, particularly the poached eggs. A few guests have mentioned that some rooms could use refreshing. However, the convenient parking and well-stocked bar often contribute to a pleasant stay.

Adequate, but Some Issues

cold bar area remote control

Breakfast service was satisfactory. The staff allocated to this area seemed well-trained.

My room was quite disappointing. The television did not function because the remote control had dead batteries. The bar area was consistently cold because a door was left open for smokers. This greatly detracted from the atmosphere.

fantastic variety cooked dishes spacious room large room convenient location central location noisy street busy street refill containers conditioner containers dirty curtains stained curtains

The breakfast offered a fantastic variety of cooked dishes. The room I stayed in, a Double Room Private Bathroom, was very spacious. The location was also convenient, near the train station, it made getting around so simple.

My room faced the street and was noisy when the pubs closed. I recall being woken up by shouting. The shampoo and conditioner containers looked to be refilled, they were covered in dried product. The net curtains were dirty, I was very disappointed by them.
