White House

Reviews:

(Provided by Julian Spicer) - The usual picture of the White House (showing mainly the beautiful but plain Georgian facade) is quite misleading. The house includes a 12C undercroft, a medieval hall now with a huge central chinmey, a 16C cross wing, and a Georgian drawing room on the end. Most exciting is that all these building phases are clearly visable, so that it is a quirky and interesting place to stay. There are cosy rooms with wide boards, exposed timber frame and inglenook fireplaces. At the other end are serene proportions, sash windows and marble fireplaces. Overall the atmosphere is especially warm and welcoming, even by Landmark standards. The garden is gorgeous. It is not an easy place to find (and the directions from Landmark are not a huge help) so take an OS map.
