What a fantastic way to spend my birthday....two magnificent nights at the White House! It felt like a home away from home as soon as we walked in. Beautiful objects, furniture and decoration in every single room. The beds were beautiful to sleep in with their handmade and detailed linen. We used just the one bedroom, but had the run... More

What a wonderful place to escape to after our wedding. The interior was charming, cosy and interesting, not what you'd usually find at short stay accommodation. We loved every little detail, from the squeeze your own orange juice to the handmade soap in the bathroom. The cottage is also walking distance to the lake and the centre of town. We'll... More

This was our second stay at the white house (our last was 2 years ago) and it was as fantastic as the first. It is such a cozy place to stay especially on a cold autumn weekend when all the leaves in the area are red, yellow and brown. As mentioned the cottage is an old 1850's miners cottage which... More

All the reviewers who are complaining about amenities etc don't seem to understand what the White House is about! It is a beautiful 1850s (I think) cottage! You don't get the Ritz, you get something with charm, character, interesting and special! This is a weekend escape from the city that you will remember for years and years to come. We... More

thank you so much for writing such a lovely response to not only the others that have commented but in general about the house. YOU get it!! and yes it is a rustic country house filled with charm, including a few cracks in wall, some creaky floor boards and gorgeous hand selected vintage features throughout the house. I am just... More

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights in November 2011. For a couple of years I had been really interested in staying in this gorgeous house and finally decided to book a weekend away before our baby was due. Unfortunately it wasn't all it had been cracked up to be. Yes the interiors are amazing, however we encountered... More

thank you for letting us know the issues that upset your stay at the white house. we too were horrified when the sink was broken, we had guests in before your stay and had three hours in between your arrival & their departure, which gave us no time to have it repaired. we actually needed a new one made and...

We stayed here for two nights recently and had a great time. The decor of the whole house is fantastic, and it is a pleasure just to spend time there relaxing by the fire. It is older style though so would not suit those who prefer every modern amenity. The bed was extremely comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. There... More

I recently had the incredible pleasure of staying at the White House for three nights over Christmas and cannot recommend it highly enough. It's possible the only place in which I've stayed where the rooms actually look better in real life than they do on the website. As soon as we walked in the door our jaws dropped as we... More
