This country guest house is situated just 3 kilometres (2 miles) from junction 40 of the M6/A66, offering you a small, luxurious and homely alternative to regular travel accommodation.

Some hotels and guest houses can be very impersonal and soulless, treating each guest as little more than a name or number. At The White House Guest House, we are very different, focusing our efforts on providing a personal and unique service, where all our guests are treated as individuals.

Prue was so welcoming and lovely to talk to. The guest house felt like an other home I was visiting. I loved the bath after a long day at work and the breakfast in the morning was great and caters for people who are vegetarian too. I’ll definitely recommend to family and friends and return! Thanks x

    Cute studio, a big room with all you need for a couple nights away. Perfect hot tub in a lovely front garden with fairy lights and a space to sit outside. Location was excellent a minute away from anything you need. We have loved trying different cafes in the area of which there are plenty. Helen is a lovely host too, very accommodating and the chocolates were a nice touch to the room. Me and my boyfriend loved staying here and we would definitely come back again

    Super friendly staff above a great bar full of locals playing cards and having a great time. Check in was really easy and it was nice to be able to pay at the hotel as opposed to online for a change. The staff did a great job with leaving me breakfast out as I had to leave before breakfast was served (breakfast starts at 9 o'clock, so if you need to leave early remember to ask).
