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

A friend in London recommended this as the perfect place to spend a weekend - fantastic. Great rooms - wonderful big bath . Apparently recenly re furbished and very stylish it is too. Food absolutely delicious and they had a great local wine from Furleigh Estate which is apparently UK winemaker of the year. Easy parking and delightful owners. We... 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

2nd stay at the White House, which is now even better after recent refurb. Very large, clear and well-decorated room and bathroom - real coffee always a plus. Excellent attentive, friendly service from Ian and Liz. Chose to eat in for one meal which was first rate (had the confit duck and the tomato and squash soup). Have stayed in... 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. The White House had everything we wanted: peace and quiet, a great location for Lyme Regis and Bridport and local villages, sizable... More

We stayed here last year whilst touring Dorset and enjoyed our one night at the White House so much we decided on a weekend break for our next visit after receiving a mail-shot from the hotel.The owners Liz and Ian have been busy refurbishing the bedrooms over the winter and the results are fantastic. We had room one, a two... More

Really excellent stay. No parking problem - secure. Warm welcome, room upgraded & therefore most comfortable - even luxurious. back room en suite, quiet. English breakfasts to be remembered, main course locally sourced. Good position for local beaches, Lyme Regis etc. We'll be booking again.
