We had a wonderful week staying at the White House. We so enjoyed the veranda, the garden, and the views a cross to Place, and towards St Mawes Castle. The bed was super comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. Most of all it was fascinating 1920s home, fit for the Great Gatsby himself.

We booked for a week and we had a great time. The communication from Melanie and Alan who run the house was fantastic. There was a heating teething problem and they sorted it out very quickly, and excellent service and didn’t affect the week at all. The house is a little tired but we no complaints re the layout and facilities.A few cobwebs in the rooms but not an issue. Very dog friendly too! We love St Mawes and this house is highly recommended.
