The White House is an absolutely beautiful place to stay; the interior is gorgeous, huge amounts of space, loads of lovely little details around the house, and the garden is stunning. Plenty of room for a large party, and so many things to do that we struggled to get the kids out of the house some days!

We really enjoyed our stay at the White House. It was warm and cosy despite being a large property. There was plenty of space to spread out, and there were nice touches throughout the house. It was beautifully decorated and well furnished. We made use of the bbq hut which was great as the weather wasn't the best while we were there.
