The White Hart

Perched on a quiet street in the sleepy village of South Harting, the White Hart’s unassuming faćade nods to its intriguing antiquity. But only upon stepping across the threshold and into the beautiful interiors of oak floors, aged beams and log fires encased in old stone fireplaces, can one truly appreciate its beauty. The hotel has eight cosy rooms, each thoughtfully finished with couples, families and dog-owners in mind, but the family suite in the old inn, with its striking vaulted ceiling is a favourite.

The already extraordinary service at the White Hart now includes a near-constant vigilance when cleaning public spaces and surfaces. The team’s personal touches are evident throughout, providing an added layer of charm and security from reception to room. Linens are thoroughly cleaned and beds thoughtfully dressed, ensuring a sparkling, reassuringly clean bedroom waiting for each new guest.

This extraordinary level of service continues to the restaurant, where the charming South Downs atmosphere is elevated with thoughtful cuisine that showcases local ingredients above flashy cooking. There’s also a small collection of tables and a heated wooden shelter for those who prefer an al fresco experience out in the tranquil garden.

Wherever you choose to dine, a reassuring app-based menu is available to book, order and pay for everything in advance, making the experience more fluid, convenient and ultimately much safer for everyone.
