Good breakfast, clean and comfortable, great staff.
United KingdomThe property is clean, well equipped with beautiful views and quiet surroundings. Amazing breakfast. Friendly owner. Would come again.
United KingdomStayed for four nights which felt like home. The hostess is a wonderful woman. She is so caring and runs the guesthouse perfectly. Breakfast was simple and tasty, the room was super clean every time we came back to the room after a long day of traveling. She recommended great places to visit and eat out in the area. The kids loved the fire pit at the property where we roasted marshmallows. This was a wonderful vacation and we plan to come back!
United KingdomLovely stay Helen very welcoming and accommodation exceeded our expectations. The breakfast was very good and I would not hesitate in recommending a stay at the White House. Very close to many places of Interest. Thank you Helen for a lovely stay
United KingdomVery helpful with changes of plans and timings. Porch where I could leave very wet jacket / boots after hiking. Good bath after a wet hike was welcome. Breakfast set me up for the day. Easy stroll to the George and Dragon to eat - but book.

United KingdomBeautiful home, very clean and welcoming. Fab location , would highly recommend.
United KingdomSpotlessly clean, welcoming host, excellent breakfast... will definitely be back!
United KingdomBreakfast was chosen the night before and we were asked to pick a time to eat so that it was Covid secure. All items were for our table only. The fruit salad was lovely as were the gluten free sausages Prue had got for me as I require a gluten free diet. I was also provided with gf cereal and toast. Lovely. Great pillows too.
United KingdomCould not ask for a nicer place to stay, with a lovely host and great breakfast.

This country guest house is located just 1.9 miles (2 miles) from junction 40 of the M6/A66, offering you a small, luxurious and homely alternative to regular travel accommodations.
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.
So if you are tired of normal characterless accommodations give us a try and you will not be disappointed.
A hearty breakfast is served every day.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.5 for a two-person trip.

The White House Guest House
The property was built around 1760, it has open beams in the dining room and guest lounge, a sloping ceiling in one bedroom, and is a quaint country cottage set in a beautiful garden. Mind your head in places! All rooms are ensuite, except the cosy single room which has its own private bathroom. There is plenty of off road parking and a lovely garden to sit and relax in when Winter has passed.
We aim to make your stay feel like home away from home, with more pampering. Sleep tight in a cosy bed and recharge with a scrummy-licious Full English breakfast which we cook to order.
We are on the edge of the stunning Lake District close enough to enjoy it and far enough to not get snarled up in it! Just 3 miles out of Penrith, a fortified market town at J40 on the M6. Close to many castles and stately homes, the area is historic, and has many stone circles to intrigue. Go north to Carlisle in 25 minutes and on to Scotland, or south through the Lakes or towards the Pennines.
