We are not a pub open to the public, we do not arrange events or hire spaces for one off evening functions. We are NOT a licenced premises.

This is a private venue, a large private Airbnb – your own ‘Total Pub Takeover’.

Think of a large farmhouse but instead of a living room you have your own bar…… oh and it has a snug, function area, large kitchen, riverside beer garden and of course the 15 + 2 bedrooms where you can sleep 40.

Unlike other large houses to hire for events The White Hart is a completely blank canvas for you to put your own creative stamp on. A total pub takeover!

You will have exclusive use of the whole venue. Choose to stay 2, 3 nights or more.

We welcome Corporate Getaways & Conferences.

We have refurbished the venue to a very high standard and our model works with just 40 friends, family or business colleagues staying and enjoying the venue.
That said, there are exceptions to this……

Drinks at the bar with 10 extra guests – this is the maximum ‘small party or gathering’ on one of the nights but again this must be notified to us at the time of booking and an extra minimum £300 charge will apply.

Up to 20 extra guests – Although we have not set for The White Hart to be a large venue hire we do understand that on occasion this is necessary as part of your celebration. On one of the evenings of your stay we will permit a ‘large party’ with guests. Fire regulations state we can only have up to 60 people downstairs as a maximum capacity. There will be an additional minimum charge of £500 to cover the extra liability, capacity and cleaning. This will be added to the balance of your booking amount. Please discuss this with us.

Weddings: See the the next FAQ : Can we get married or hold our reception at The White Hart?

Yes of course! We already have weddings booked in for 2024 & 2025.

Have you heard of a DIY Wedding?

We are licenced to hold you Wedding Ceremony at The White Hart but alternatively you may choose to just have the celebrations here.

You will have exclusivity of our venue for the entire weekend and all of the bedrooms are included within the price – allowing your celebrations to extend beyond the big day itself.

If friends and family pay for their rooms you nearly have the venue cost free!

As a DIY wedding you will be responsible for hiring everything to make your day special including catering, chair covers, linen and decorations. We can put you in touch direct with our partners but you control the costs and how big or small you go.

We have a License for weddings and civil ceremonies. Additional option, we know many people use the official registry office before and then ‘create a wedding’ at a venue later.
We will confirm with you how many can attend a sit down meal, we believe this will be around 50 people.

Please note, you will only be able to hold ‘a wedding party’ on one the nights of your stay and there will be an additional charge. To cover the extra liability, capacity and cleaning and if applicable our attendance during the civil ceremony the cost will be £750 including vat. This will reduce to £500 including vat if the ceremony is not taking place at the venue. This amount will be added to the balance of your booking amount. Please discuss this with us.

IMPORTANT: We recommend you looking at specialist wedding insurance policies to cover cancelation and events outside your control.

Fire regulations state we can only have up to 60 people downstairs as a maximum capacity including the 40 guests staying.

Remember to check to see if the Registrar is available click here, you are responsible for arranging. Also a representative from White Venues must be legally on site for the duration of the ceremony so you must check to see if we are also available before confirming with the Registrar.

It’s really easy to book with us, just click Book Here. Once you have placed your booking online we will be in touch to confirm and process your payment.

Alternatively, if you don’t wish to book online you can always email us at bookings@briggwhitehart.co.uk or call 01652 237 337 and we can take your booking over the phone.

Unfortunately, we do not operate a hotel service and can not offer one-night stays. The changeover cost would not make this viable.

We do have ‘exceptions to the rule’ due to cancellations. We can look at certain requests and do have a scheme in place for our corporate clients. Please email or call for further information.
We currently take bookings for a minimum of 2 nights.

You can enquire about 5 night stays and of course a full 7 nights or more.

To confirm a booking and secure the property, a 30% deposit is due along with a refundable security deposit to cover any damages or breakages. The remaining balance is then due 8 weeks before arrival. Note: We only accept bank transfers.

The fully refundable security deposit is charged at the booking stage on all bookings and returned after your stay subject to our Terms & Conditions.

In order to continuously provide a high standard of property for our guests to enjoy it is essential we request a small security deposit to ensure our property is respected. By holding this it assures us guests have agreed to be responsible whilst staying and it encourages the property to be left in the same way it was at the start of the stay.

We understand that accidents happen and for any breakages to small items (glasses, plates etc) there will be no charge. In the event of damage to other items such as electrical equipment, furniture, furnishings or bed linen and towels it is important that you advise us as soon as possible. The cost of repair or replacement will be taken from your security deposit. If bed linen and/or towels are permanently stained by fake tan, makeup etc as the stained items will need to be replaced. 

NOTE: This is a separate refundable deposit payment in addition to the 30% booking deposit which is part of your overall payment. The security deposit is a contribution and might not cover all issues.

This is important for health and safety, fire regulations and insurance that we know the exact breakdown of your group.  

We will also set up the bedroom configuration from the bedroom plan you send back. There will be a cut off for this 7 days before you arrive.

We are only set up to accommodate the capacity advertised. Please do check with us if you are expecting any extra day guests to visit during your stay as there may be restrictions on parking or inadequate facilities at the property.

We welcome all types of groups but we reserve the right not to take certain stag parties. We are within a town residential location so very aware noise might be an issue. We do not want to risk curtailing the enjoyment of your stay if you breach our group/noise policies.

We have a very strict noise policy with a zero-tolerance policy on all late night noise. All outside music and activities are prohibited after 11 pm so as not to disturb nearby residents. You can find further details on our noise policy in our Terms & Conditions.

One of the hardest parts of being the lead guest organising a holiday for multiple people is often gaining commitment from the group when you ask for the deposit and therefore the cost per head increases. Don’t worry though……. we then know from experience the numbers will slowly start to rise again when the chatter starts on your social media groups, especially a few weeks before when FOMO (fear of missing out) kicks in!!

As you are booking the whole venue and not paying per person we are unable to renegotiate the price. Please take this into account before committing to a booking. 

We strongly advise that you take out travel insurance that covers you in the event that you wish to cancel. Click here to see our Terms & Conditions.

We cannot provide travel insurance as we are not a financial service provider regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). 

It’s common for people to think that they don’t need travel insurance for UK trips. In terms of insuring for medical issues the NHS will cover any medical needs in the UK, but things can still go wrong with a UK trip.

It’s possible that an internal flight or train might be cancelled, your car might break down, or you might need to cancel your trip due to ill health or bereavement. You can get travel insurance for trips in the UK that cover all these things to give you peace of mind.

You may also find that you are already covered through other insurance policies you may have or via your bank so it’s worth checking your existing policies before you purchase any new cover. 

We strongly recommend you take out travel insurance for the above reasons. Make sure that the policy you buy covers your whole group.

We also strongly recommend that the policy covers you for personal liability claims in the event that accidental damage is caused during your stay.

Are you planning on a party or a wedding? You will also need to look at specialist cover in case of cancellations or events outside your control.

We may be able to make slight changes 72 hours before arrival.

NOTE: Bedroom 7 is located behind the very large boiler room. Bedroom 7 is definitely the largest and one of the nicest with a very large en-suite. The heating or hot water is on a timer and when the boilers fire up there can be a low dull humming noise. No one to date has complained but we do like to make people aware of this before you start allocating rooms.

We ask for your expected numbers at the booking stage, so we are comfortable you are not exceeding the capacity of the property. If you have not already provided this information at the time of booking we will contact you 2-3 weeks prior to your arrival. We may request the full list of guests’ names in addition to your room requirements so that we can plan that your beds are made up correctly for your stay.
