Guests say
Guests have praised The White House for its comfort, spaciousness, and well-equipped kitchen. The property's location is appreciated for its proximity to the beach and town, and the enclosed garden is a hit with pet owners. While some minor maintenance issues are noted, the overall experience is highly regarded, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
Most guests found the property to be clean and welcoming. However, there were isolated comments about blocked gutters and a bed that required additional cleaning, which slightly affected the score.
The property's location is highly praised for being close to both the beach and town, offering easy access to local amenities and attractions. The only drawback mentioned is the narrow road leading to the property.
Guests have commented positively on the comfortable beds and spacious communal areas. Some minor discomforts were mentioned, such as the need for more fans during unseasonably warm weather, which slightly impacted the score.
The property is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, and guests appreciate the en-suite bathrooms. Some maintenance issues like plumbing and a poor TV picture were reported, leading to a slightly lower score.
While guests have mentioned a welcome pack with local treats, there are not enough references to consistently assess the thoughtfulness of the hosts across all reviews. Therefore, the score is set to null, and guests should note that such gifts are a kind gesture and not guaranteed.

Perfect house for a large group, excellently equipped with everything you need. And a great location for the beach and getting around Dorset. Thank you so much.

The rooms all have an en-suite which suited us all. The kitchen is really well stocked which was brilliant, there was everything you needed. We had a welcome gift bag stocked with goodies which was a lovely gesture. The house is a lovely open plan which suited us for my birthday weekend as we were able to all sit in the lounge. The location is great, just a short walk to west bay beach. The only issue we had was that we had no hot water at all on the Friday and despite phoning the emergency numbers provided, we had no response at all. This would have really impacted the weekend if we had not personally known a plumber who helped us fix the boiler over the phone. I would suggest that these issues should be checked before guests arrive to ensure everything is fully working. Overall our stay was excellent and I would recommend booking The White House.
