White Hart by Marston's Inns

You'll find the White Hart doing what it's done for centuries—holding down Bridge Street with the kind of understated confidence that comes from being genuinely useful to Andover. It's a Marston's Inn, which means you're getting the kind of reliable, unpretentious hospitality that works whether you're here for a pint and a pie, a business lunch, or actually staying the night. The bones of the place are proper old—this is a proper coaching inn, not a theme park version of one. Downstairs is all dark wood and that particular warmth that only comes from a room that's been lived in properly. The food is straightforward and honest; think classic pub fare done without fuss or apology. If you're staying over, the rooms offer that dependable comfort of a proper country inn.
