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.

Lovely stay!!! Owner was the kindest person, who recommended me great trips around and was extremely nice to my dog. Breakfast was perfect, full English with fresh fruit, delicious porridge and many dog treats. Would be back anytime!

    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
