“The Great White Horse has seen better days, I gather; it presents as a place where budget trumps aesthetics. A local shop across the street provides a cooked breakfast, which is a welcome start to the day, as the hotel does not offer one. If you need a place to sleep and aren't fussy, this might do, but be prepared for a bit of a rough-around-the-edges experience, in my opinion.”
