Bit of a mixed-bag this one. I stayed in the twin room for 2 nights. The room oddly looks as though it’s been lifted and deposited direct from a Premier Inn (but smaller). It’s dark due to the use of dark purple and dark wood on almost everything. The bathroom is fresh and contemporary though. There’s a generous selection of teas and coffee plus biscuits. One of the reasons I chose the Fountains tearoom and B&B was because of the tearoom downstairs. I arrived, after a long tiring journey, at 3.30pm thinking I was just in time to grab a snack in the tearoom, however Iike a lot of visitors if you read the comments dating back years, I was told by a very offhand older member of staff the kitchen was closed. It closes at 3pm, so all the info and literature stating that tearoom hours are 9am to 4pm are misleading to say the least. (The owner later stated that ‘our staff have families to go home to’). When I asked I was also told that breakfast was from 9am, even though this staff member was now fully aware I was a guest, and I mentioned I needed to be somewhere by 10am the next morning. So the next morningI hung around to 9am and dashed down to breakfast to find other guests already eating breakfast, a (different) member of staff said guests were served from 8.30am! I complained by text to the owner who responded very quickly saying she’d look into it. The owner could not be faulted for responding to queries/complaints - the evening before I’d rung her asking how the heating worked as it was cold and she came out straight away to check the thermostat in the hall. The breakfast was prompt, hot and very tasty. Other negative points: The mattress had springs starting to poke up, the pillows were thin and lumpy (they’re cheap enough to buy for goodness’ sake). The thinnish duvet (no sheets apart from the fitted one on the mattress) only just covered the bed, so wouldn’t be great for larger visitors. I personally will not be staying again.

Wasn't actually able to stay at the hotel sdue to an error in their system. The hotel were accommodating to try and get is booked in on 3 extra dates but unsuccessful. Refused a refund on the issue. Can't say alot more other than a shame we were unstable to stay.

I spent a night here recently. The staff are all really friendly and make you feel welcome. We didn’t use the pub, just for a quick breakfast the following morning so I can’t comment on that aspect however it is clearly full of character and is situated in a great spot for exploring. Unfortunately the accommodation was a bit of a let down. The room we had is in need of updating, the bathroom was very small, nowhere to put anything. The tiles in the shower were mouldy which is off-putting, the extractor vent was really grubby and the general standard of the finishing in the room was poor. As there is no natural light it seemed to highlight all of these issues. It all felt very tired. The bedroom itself was clean although the carpet was a bit marked. The beds were ok, the bedding was spotless as were the towels. There were 2 tiny mirrors so not ideal when trying to get ready. All in all a bit disappointing.

We had a wonderful one night stay at The View, we were so impressed as soon as we arrived as to how spacious, beautifully furnished and decorated our room was. We were lucky with the weather that evening and were able to relax and enjoy the fabulous view of the surrounding countryside. It was our wedding anniversary and we had a superb dinner in the restaurant, every course was delicious. All the staff we met were very friendly, welcoming and attentive. Breakfast the following morning was freshly cooked and very tasty with plenty of choices. The White Horse is in a great location, lovely and quiet, we slept really well, but not far from so many places of interest, Bakewell was only a short drive away as was Bolsover Castle and Hardwick Hall. We would thoroughly recommend The View at The White Horse and hope to stay there again.
