  • Ruth

    The house is beautiful and very well equipped to a high standard. We visited in November and the underfloor heating was a real treat. The hosts were lovely, they left us some fresh bread and milk.and popped in to check we'd arrived ok and see if we needed anything. Highly recommend The White House.

  • Trudie

    Away from it all but not too far to amenities. Well equipped and lovely modern bathrooms. Very warm and comfortable, It was lovely to come back to after a day out.

  • Rosie

    What wasn't mentioned so much was the outlook. The house is in the middle of fields with just cows and sheep for company. The views are stunning. Simply wonderful!
