The hotel was very good, the service by the staff was excellent. Parking, though, was not good. The hotel car park for guests was completely full even though few guest where actually staying. This meant i had to park a 10 minute walk away.

A last minute change of plan saw us getting the last room available at the hotel. Superb friendly staff bent over backwards to make us welcome. A fabulous meal in the bar/restaurant and great value for money. Mikhail and Trisha were great at looking after everyone all evening. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

This property was very much how you'd want the main inn of a small town to be. Charm and character, whilst also well kept, modern facilities, good service and good breakfast.

The staff were very friendly. The room, although clean, was so out dated. Mould, broken blinds in bathroom, as good as useless shower, lio seat tbat moved when you sat on it abd very small. The area is very deprived. Speaking with locals they reported crime, drugs and drunks. Did not feel safe to walk out in the evening.

The White Hart (like St Austell itself) lacks investment in the building and infrastructure. The staff were attentive and helpful but the windows were filthy.

The rooms are quite old and there is a bad odour in the lobby. The rooms need some refurbishment. My room look at the back door and there was a lot of dump and litter.

Location

Central in St Austell and convenient for the Eden Project and walking to local sights; some found the town rundown or very quiet, and the centre location can bring noise and occasional safety concerns at night.

The hotel was a lovely old building and we were given a warm welcome but we were surprised by the rundown appearance of St Austell itself as it has such great transport links and nearby attractions. The breakfasts were excellent as were all but one member of staff who presented some challenging behaviour. We enjoyed our stay but not St Austell itself.
