Relaxing and beautiful surroundings
The Dartington Hall Estate boasts some of the most outstandingly beautiful countryside anywhere in the UK. Built in a sheltered spot just outside the Devonshire market town of Totnes, the building housing the White Hart is a national treasure and the gardens, which extend for acres, provide an oasis of beauty and calm. The White Hart itself is a busy little bar/pub which, despite its location away from it all, provides a certain buzz and a relaxing atmosphere.
Customer service can be a little patchy, depending on who is behind the bar, but the food is fresh and well-prepared and not too pricy. The Barn Theatre and Cinema are situated adjacent to this pub and it makes a very pleasant venue when visiting the area. The interior decor of the building has been well thought out and is entirely in keeping. A very nice place.
