A fantastic weekend spent at the White House. We stayed in room 7 but whilst small the bed was comfortable and we had everything we needed. The welcome from Liz and Ian was excellent - coffee whilst we waited for friends. Nothing was too much and when we returned from dinner, Liz provided coffee and drinks. Breakfast was wonderful and...

I had single occupancy for one night so couldn't expect, and did not want, the best room. I had room 7 on the ground floor near reception and the entrance. The room is not large (not in itself an issue) but suffers from (I assume) the en suite having been added within the original room space. You cannot walk around... More

We are a little disappointed at the tone of this review and the fact that none of these issues were mentioned during his stay or during the conversation we had at checkout. Of course we should have been on top of some, such as the wrong number of cups in the room and the kettle size for which we apologise... More

We found The White House for a last minute weekend break and were lucky that they had a room available. The bedroom was very comfortable and the bedding top quality white cotton. Liz was very welcoming on check in and the food Ian produced was first class. Locally sourced produce including scrambled goose eggs for breakfast and superb bacon. The... More

We were welcomed by Ian and Liz after a cancelled flight fiasco. We booked late Friday afternoon and arrived at 7.30pm. The room was lovely, very cosy and with a comfortable bed. Ian and Liz are charming hosts, and he immediately set about and cooked a beautiful meal for us, so I recommend his risotto..it was to die for. All... More

This delightful hotel tucked away in Charmouth is a real treat. Not only is the hotel itself charming but the food is delicious and all locally sourced - (their most recent Gold award is well deserved!) I found it a really relaxing retreat from the city and the hospitality of the owners made it a memorable experience. More

My husbandand I spent a wonderful evening at the restaurant at the White House during October half term. I can honestly say that it was one of the very best meals we have eaten for a long, long time. The food was beautifully prepared, expertly cooked with lovely presentation. The staff were most welcoming and Ian had a long chat... More

Just back from lovely stay on Juraissac Coast of England. Our lodgings were at the White House Hotel in Charmouth...such a treat. We arrived on Monday and Ian sent us to the local Pub as his kitchen is "down" on Mondays. We enjoyed our nice meal down the road but were dissappointed to only sample Ian's excellent fare for one...
