We stayed for a night recently and my husband and I loved every moment. We were in a cottage close to the shop and the room was excellent, well equipped. It was a short walk to the hotel and fortunately the weather was good, but umbrellas are provided. The hotel is comfortable but not super-luxurious, it has a very nice... More

Herm Island is very peaceful and beautiful. This hotel is always appreciated for its location and service. The staff of 2013 are especially cheerful, friendly and helpful.

This hotel and, in fact, the whole island is amazing. The hotel is lovely, the staff very friendly and efficient and the setting is stunning. A unique and very special place. Our son was married on the island and the whole day was magical. The staff were fantastic - always around when needed an nothing was too much trouble.

Stayed one night on Herm and wished we had stayed a second. The room was well presented with a balcony overlooking the swimming pool. There was a full ashtray on the balcony when we arrived but it was removed as soon as we asked. Excellent food and attentive staff, followed by coffee after dinner in the lounge with coal fires.

We (two couples) have just returned from this hotel where we had two large and comfortable rooms one with a balcony and one with a garden both with lovely sea views. I really can't fault it for service and comfort - and the food is good too. We will go again I am sure!

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
As the gentle chugging of a tractor heralds the arrival of your luggage, you know The White House Hotel is special. After all, how many hotels can boast a Britain in Bloom Gold Award-winning island as their garden, a harbour-side setting and such spectacular sea views? Tradition is cherished at this unique hotel to which many families have been coming for three generations. You’ll find a variety of delightful bedrooms, where you won’t find televisions, clocks or telephones, as somehow they don’t seem appropriate on Herm. You will find world class cuisine, and exceptional service from our friendly team. The White House Hotel was the first business in the Channel Islands to achieve WorldHost Customer service status in 2012. All of the Hotel rooms have been upgraded in the past three winters, along with most of the bathrooms - these are expected to be complete by Winter 2013. ... more   less
