We stayed in the White House only for a weekend as we were attending a family get together nearby. It's absolutely lovely and in a beautiful rural location. It's a great place to stay with young kids as there's loads of space to hang out and fields and garden to explore. Also perfect for a group of friends particularly if you like to cook as the kitchen and equipment is excellent. It's not at all 'precious'. Exactly what a holiday home should be. All the information needed about ' running the house' is very clearly set out and Pat is a great communicator when you have questions or need advice or information
