Recommended by a London friend who travels a lot and insists on the best, the White House is a very special island of comfort, low-key luxury, and first-class dining, in the little village of Charmouth on Dorset's wonderful Jurassic Coast. Proprietors Ian and Liz have created an ambience both elegant and warm, and you'll not find a better table for... More

We spent 3 nights here in unseasonably cold and wet weather but received a very warm welcome from the owners. Would highly recommend the food, which is all cooked by owner Ian, from fresh locally sourced ingredients, including their own eggs. Our stay was extremely comfortable, we had the room at the back on the first floor (there are only... More

It was a bit chilly but delighted that did not put you off, we managed o get our new wood burning stove in the lounge fitted this winter which makes for a warm welcome after a chilly walk along the beach! We do indeed have our own chickens who provide us with delicious eggs, not... More

I'm a longstanding fan of Charmouth and have been visiting the area for decades. I've stayed at the White House before but was thrilled to see the changes from the refurbishment. A two night stay for a special weekend away was the plan. We were allocated room 2 which looks out onto the magnolia at the front. Off street parking... More

Stayed in this beautiful hotel for just one night. The room had just been upgraded, was very comfortable and spacious. A massive bathroom with a huge bath, unfortunately I didn't have time to have a good soak, but enjoyed the shower instead. The evening meal was delicious - the best scallops I've tasted. The wine from local Furleigh Estate was... More

Beautiful Georgian building with gorgeous light and stunning recently refurbed rooms. We stayed here at extremely short notice after being let down by another local hotel. Ian, the owner, could not have been more accomodating, friendly and helpful.
