RUDE CHECK-IN RUINED THE WHOLE STAY After much effort of trying to park my car nearby (abs nightmare given the traffic, no parking at the white hart inn and limited parking in the village) I arrived to the white hart inn at 2.49 a full 11 mins before the actual check in of 15:00. I was greeted by the woman in charge snapping, "3 O CLOCK", without a glance in my direction. Abs lovely!!!! Who would ever be polite and say hello, how you are,... On daring to ask where I could park. There was a dismissive, "OVER THERE TURN LEFT bla bla bla"...again without a glance in my direction. After it reached the 15:00 magical time the woman then barked, "WHAT'S YOUR NAME", at which point the next bark was "U NEED TO PAY £X's", but on pointing out I had prepaid she checked the system and stopped demanding money. I was then thrusted my keys and told "YOUR ROOM IS UPSTAIRS". As I did not know where the stairs were I thought better of asking again and went hunting. Whilst attempting to find my room I came across some other guests also hunting for their roo, so was pleased to know I was not alone in the game of 'give us a clue' when being given room keys. Whilst the room was basic and fairly clean, the walls were paper thin (I could hear the person next door talking word for word and when they plugged anything into their electrical socket it sounded like they were in my room) and it had zero view (just the pitch of a roof to stare at), I cannot get over how shockingly RUDE the check in woman was and would suggest if you would like to be treated with a degree of respect and politeness and be able to park your car nearby (somewhere less than 5 mins away), this place is defintely not for you..
