A Very Pleasant Stay
Have stayed at this property numerous times when visiting friends in Leiston. Our room was very clean. Plenty of hot beverages and biscuits. Toiletries supplied. Staff really helpful. Breakfast available if required. You can't always park on site but plenty of parking a short walk away. Would definitely recommend

The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is spectacular. I realise the building is old but the bedroom and stairs are in need of decorating. We had a great couple of days, live music on the Sunday, the band was really good. Cup final was on, never heard any if it from the room. We would stay again when in the area.

Pleasant friendly staff. Excellent breakfast with a good choice on the menu. The room and en-suite bathroom were clean and the towels were of good quality. Comfortable bed. Leiston is a town with a lot of through traffic so traffic noise noticeable.

Enjoyed my stay at the Whitehorse hotel. The staff were really helpful and friendly. It would’ve been nice to have a mirror in my room, otherwise the room was satisfactory. I do think it would be good if the price of a breakfast was included in the overall price rather than having to pay separately.I also think that overall it is a little bit on the expensive side, but I understand they have to make a living!

There is quite simply nothing not to like about this property. We had a wonderful weekend here. The room was spacious, and spotlessly clean, and the bed super comfy. The breakfast was a real stand-out. Staff were also very friendly and helpful. It was our first visit to the area - don't know why we left it so long!

Comfortable stay
We stayed in room 3 while our friends were in room 5, and the difference was remarkable. Our room was modern and didn't match the photo we saw online, as we were 'upgraded' due to a band playing in the pub below. The bathroom was incredibly small, only accommodating one person at a time. Definitely not worth £100 a night.

Our twin room was small but clean and well arranged, although a chair would have been useful. We were served a generously portioned Sunday roast, well cooked, a great meal.

Over priced and dated
Service and breakfast was great. Room was poor. In places the walls had been repaired but not painted. There was a hole behind the door which had not been repaired. The bathroom smelt and the bath was marked. Having paid £120 for the room, we felt we had been massively over charged. We understand the rooms are being refurbished which is needed and would perhaps reflect the rate we paid.

Just about OK
A fairly average pub with rooms as opposed to a hotel. It’s on a busy road so if you are a light sleeper then it probably isn’t for you. The food (both dinner and breakfast) were good although the level of cleanliness was poor. The room we had was pretty tired and in need of some updating. Temperature in the room was good and the shower was just about passable. So for the money it was just about OK.

Nice hotel with fantastic staff
We had a great stay at the White Horse Hotel. We stayed in two twin rooms with a shared bathroom. The bathroom was great and the rooms were good. A couple more additions such as mirrors in the rooms would make the rooms even better. All of the staff were absolutely lovely and we enjoyed a nice meal in the restaurant.
