The White Hart is a large semi-detached pub in the heart of Midsomer Norton in the town centre. Rumoured to be the best-preserved coal mining town in England as well as inspiration for the name of the long-running television series Midsomer Murders. Midsomer Norton has boomed since the 1700s and this history can be found at the Midsomer Norton Museum. The town and area attract visitors for walking or cycling. The Midsomer Norton Farmers’ Market is hosted on each first Saturday of the month on the high street - perfect for local meat, fish, fruits, vegetables and cheeses. There are many green spaces surrounded by shops right in the middle of the high street. The popular Somerset and Dorset Railway, a heritage trust line run by volunteers that is being lovingly restored, brings in many tourists. The local population is approximately twelve thousand and has an equal spread of age distribution.
The White Hart is built of local stone with a traditional public bar layout, well supported by the locals with an open fire and fully stocked bar. There is a trading snug room off the bar and a much larger lounge bar with another fully stocked bar servery. The lounge bar leads out to a small courtyard garden area with six outside tables. The entrance lobby has an old settle and jug and bottle hatch. At the front of the pub, there are some outside tables to sit out and watch over the town. The well-equipped trade kitchen is located on the ground floor and the kitchen feeds the lounge bar area.
The private accommodation consists of a kitchen, bathroom, living room and three good sized bedrooms.
