I have just returned from my 2nd visit to the White House in Russell. Having been there 2 and a half years ago I wasn’t expecting much to have changed and fortunately I was proved right (except the welcome addition of a travel shop beautifully added and ran by the host Emma). The house is as charming and welcoming as... more

Just back from our second stay with Emma and Steve, and hope that we’ll be able to visit again in the not too distant future! Loved the garden – recommend breakfasting outside, lovely setting, and take some time for a dip in the hot-tub. Rooms are lovely, and it’s great having a visitors lounge and Sky TV as well. All... more

I will admit not being a lover of Lodges, so you must take what I say about the White House with that in mind. You arrive at the front of the place, it looks untidy, you then go via the back passageway to the back door, the garden looks untidy and generally the whole outside looks in need of care... more

With our generous breakfast times from 8-12 and only 6 people staying at any one time it is very rare guests all have breakfast at once. We have a dining room table which seats 4, a breakfast bar which seats 2, 2 outside tables which seat 6 each and seating for 6 on our upstairs deck for a more private...

The White House is on a quiet side street, close to the sea. Emma and Steve really makes you feel at home without intruding. The decoration is very nice with some ingenious touches like peebles embedded in the floor in the bathroom, a touch sensitive bedside lamp, ... Overall a very nice stay. more

We enjoyed our 3 night stay at the White House. Steve & Emma were great in advising how to make the best of our stay. The rooms and facilities were great and we felt very comfortable and spoilt. Russell is a lovely quaint scenic village. Hopefully we will return. more

Hosts Emma and Steve were exceptional. Room and facilities were great and the spar relaxing Steve's fresh cooked breakfasts was more than we could eat. Very friendly safe and hospitable village. more

We had a lovely stay at The Whitehouse. Our hosts, Steve and Emma, were really helpful and friendly; they make you feel really welcome in their home and go out of their way to keep you informed about whats going on locally etc. The rooms were lovely, really well decorated and so comfy; the chocolate and the port were a... more

Steve and Emma are great hosts. Unobtrusive yet always available to help whether it be the luggage, special breakfast requests or booking local tours. One could not ask for more besides the guest lounge is comfortable and the rooms terrific. Make sure you ask Steve or Emma about eating at Swordy's or joining the RSA for a night where the... more

The White House was as delightful as Russell itself. We were greeted warmly by Emma and Steve who were extremely kind and attentive throughout our stay. The room was comfortable, clean and pleasantly furnished and the bathroom was modern and spotless. We were impressed by the breakfast produced by Steve which was beautifully cooked and generous with a great selection.... more
