This White Hart hotel in Dorchester-on-Thames was excellent (food, staff, gorgeous place and inside), gorgeous!, for a good price. Even nicer than on pictures!

I don't see any.

We had a fantastic time at the Cotswold Gateway Hotel. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. The food was fantastic and enjoyed next to a roaring open fire. On arrival our room had a chilled bottle of wine and a basket with chocolates and fruit - this you would usually expect in a 5 star hotel and a wonderful touch. The local area is very pretty and the location of the hotel is in walking distance of shops and restaurants. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful warm friendly staff nothing was too much trouble. Fantastic food, very comfortable room, a nice touch was a bottle of wine, fruit and chocs in our room on arrival. Really good menu and excellent food enjoyed next to a roaring open fire.

The property is located on a mini roundabout.

Very satisfied with facilities, location and food
(108837181)

Service and food was excellent. Staff very helpful. Ideal situation for touring the Costwolds.

Noticeable traffic noise from A40 all of the time. Needs some renovation (windows) and re-decoration

Very pleasant hotel for a couple of nights, would stay again for a similar occasion (wedding nearby)
(107484996)

Good breakfast, friendly staff, overall very clean and well presented

Shower was only real disappointment - hard to control temperature and very little water pressure. Room quite small but adequate for one night.

Very friendly and welcoming staff. sorted my gluten free dinner very easily.
Very clean room

shower was terrible. Mixer taps and very little power
Nicola from Barnsley, GB (Young couple) 30 June 2009
As we arrived early evening and had to dash out more or less straight away, were back late and then away straight after breakfast, we saw little other than the bedroom and breakfast room. However, we slept well, ate well and were dealt with excellently by the staff so the bits we experienced were a pleasure.
(107398318)

Everything was clean and the staff were very efficient and friendly. It was relatively easy to find, not noisy for the location and the breakfast was nicely cooked.

Not really bad point as such, more areas to improve. The breakfast was lovely but more variety of fresh fruits and dried fruits would have been nice. The car park was very busy when we arrived and we struggled to get parked but not sure how this could be improved as additional space looked limiting!

this is the second time i have stopped in 13 months. Re visits I think speak for themselves, especially when its nearly a 50 mile trip and was just one night
(107647504)

love the 'non-snobbery' approach. All treated us well, which when you have childrend on tow, noses can become stuck up. On blanace though was eloquent and in keeping with the well refined area. the room was spacious and felt very laid back

would love to have a slighlty lower cost food menu

excellent food

the only thing I found annoying was in my room, the fact that i had to go through two doors to get to my room was really irritating, trying to get through two doors with my luggage and going through two doors to get to the bathroom etc

The night staff and the restaurant personnel were very nice and pleasant. It was nice having the restaruant adjacent.
(107575571)

For the most part the staff was very helful and nice.

When I checked out in the morning I recieved a note the prior evening stating my credit card was charged and that I had to do nothing, but in the morning a different atendent tried to recharge my credit card. I belive it was only charged once so there is no issues.They also do not have a 24 hour front desk person. It hindered my checkout since I had to pay a taxi a few extra pounds so I could recieve my receipt to claim on my buisness expense.

(107894855)

Very cosy in the main hotel. Ate in the bar on a table next to the fire, food excellent, very warm cosy atmosphere.

Stayed in the Annex, room not very warm and small quilts

Easy to find, staff very welcoming, room clean and tidy.

Price charged was £65 without breakfast but there was a huge hoarding outside advertising rooms for £55. Shower didn't work and rooms smelt musty.

Except for the housekeeper's blunder, the stay was quite enjoyable, however we were very surprised that we were not offered a discount for the night or a complimentary meal or something.
(107127627)

Enjoyed the breakfast included each am.
Pub was lovely with good food.

Housekeeper came to clean our room while we were out for the day and left our door open for the entire day. A bit of a shock when we came home after 7:00pm. that night.

i booked my stay at this hotel online and although my confirmation was for the correct date (9th august), i was very surprised to receive a call from the hotel receptionist very late at night on the 9th july, asking me where i was and if i was planning on checking-in that night??!! i guess i should just be grateful that they did call so that i could inform them of their mistake and was also lucky that they still had a vacancy for my originally requested night in august!

Very happy with our visit and would definately come to this hotel again in the future, have already recommended this hotel to others.
(97362516)

Staff were very polite and friendly, the room was very clean with housekeeping coming in each morning to make beds and fold towels. The food in the restaurant was exceptional and the portion sizes were enormous.

No plug sockets next to the mirror so i had difficulty using my hairdryer and straightners.

The bathroom was really spacious and clean - double glazing window

The room itself was a bit small but for an overnight stay it is good enough. It is sometimes quite convenient to have a TV with incorporated DVDs. We had a very annoying plumbing noise thoughout the night.

Graham from Chadwick End, GB (Mature couple) 12 March 2008
This hotel is ideally situated and very easy to find - you don't need a map! The staff are very friendly, nothing seems too much trouble. The rooms are very nicely decorated and have recently been refurbished. The restaurant menu was quite extensive and the staff were very accomodating. We had a special dietary request and the chef was only too pleased to help!
This hotel has a cosy, friendly feel to it without being intrusive. I would definitely recommend it to other travellers, especially couples but also families.

We had a superb room, very nicely decorated, with a huge bathroom and a huge four poster bed!

There was nothing to dislike about our accomodation, it was all absolutely perfect.

Very good staff. I was arriving late so rang the hotel to let them know I would be delayed. I asked if they did room service and was told that they didn't normally but as I was arriving late I could arrange something in my room when I got there - and they didn't make a room service charge. Very friendly welcome - will be staying there again
