17th-century coaching inn in Dorchester-on-Thames with pet-friendly hospitality and transformed bakery dining

Dining

The hotel's restaurant occupies a transformed old bakery, creating a one-of-a-kind dining environment. Menus emphasize locally sourced ingredients, and the kitchen offers special event menus throughout the year. Breakfast is cooked to order and includes full English options with black pudding.

Accommodations

All 24 en-suite bedrooms include cottage suites and rooms with four-poster beds, each with a different layout reflecting the coaching inn's original character. The hotel provides ground-floor rooms with wheelchair-accessible features, including a wet room and grab rails. A dedicated disability room offers ample space, armchairs, and a lowered bathroom sink.

Pet-Friendly

The hotel provides pet baskets and pet bowls for four-legged guests, and dogs are welcome in the bar and restaurant areas. Upon arrival, dogs receive homemade treats from the reception team. The surrounding village offers direct access to the Thames Path for scenic walks.

Location

The White Hart sits in Dorchester-on-Thames, 8 miles south of Oxford and a short drive from Dorchester Abbey. The Thames Path and scenic walking trails start from the village, and Bicester Village is within a 30-minute drive. Henley-on-Thames and Blenheim Palace are also easily reached by car.

Services

On-site parking is available in the hotel's private grounds, and the property offers meeting and banquet facilities for business or private events. A shared lounge and TV area provides additional guest space, and the bar stocks a selection of local ales and non-alcoholic beverages. The hotel also offers packed lunches and special diet menus upon request.
