My partner and I stayed at The White House Hotel and I must admit the owner John seems very polite and was very helpful; unfortunately the standards of the hotel were not acceptable, although a lot of effort has been put into the appearance, the rooms are very dirty upon closer inspection and it's difficult not to break the room...

Spent a couple of nights at the White House Hotel, in the quaint little back-streets of Bowness-on-Windermere during Whit-week. It wasn't the easiest place to find, but well worth it! Room was clean, comfortable and - although we noticed other rooms seemed a little bigger - large enough for my wife and I. Nice big flat-screen TV on the wall... More

My partner booked a surprise trip away for us to the lakes, staying in the White House. We arrived and John the owner kindly advised us on the best place to park (for free) so we parked up and walked around for an hour until the room was ready.

I stayed here with my mother for two nights in mid-May. The location is superb, barely five minutes' walk from the ferry terminal so it's very convenient for boat trips. It's also very close to a bus stop for the hop-on hop-off Lake District bus, and very easy to get to from Windermere station (the Bowness bus leaves from right... More

My family and I stayed at The White House in April 2013. Took 3 rooms (2 standard doubles and 1 family room - for 6 adults 2 children). The hotel and rooms on first impression were lovely, but slowly a smell of stagnant water was apparent coming from the bathroom. The windows were open all day and all night in... More
