“A little gem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

I was amazed at how large and well equipped the rooms here are. I have never before stayed at a B&B where the equipment includes a corkscrew and wine glasses. The bed was enormous and oh, so comfortable. Breakfast, served in the open plan kitchen/lounge/diner provides enormous choice of locally sourced items cooked to order how and when you want it. There is no doubt that I will visit again.

“Top B & B !! - The White House B & B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2011

person found this review helpful

What a treat to have stayed in the Blackbird room at this bed and breakfast! Located about 10 or so minutes from the Port of Poole, the White House B & B delivered 5 Star customer service and provided totally unexpected quality in food (locally sourced and organic when available), top B & B accommodation (VERY comfortable bed, modern conveniences and decor, well designed bathroom, and a surprisingly spacious room for the 3 of us), and friendliness (both the proprietors and the other guests).

We had such a lovely stay, that we rerouted our trip back through Upton, Poole just to stay in this place again!

Room Tip: Stay in the Blackbird room if you need to accommodate 3 people (2 adults and one child or teen). The...

“Great B&B, I would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone staying in Poole”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 November 2011

The rooms are fantastic - large, modern, clean and comfortable with everything you need (including homemade cake!) The breakfast menu is very extensive and nothing is too much trouble for Carol. This is my second stay and I would return again and again. I wouldn't usually write a travel review but this B&B is great and deserves a recommendation.

“Fab B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011

I booked 2 nights at the White House after reading other reviews and we certainly weren't disappointed! Carol & Rob made us feel very welcome & the homemade cakes were delicious! The White House is beautifully finished, with modern tasteful decor. The bed was huge & very comfy. The en-suite was spacious & immaculate. The breakfast was fantastic with a wide range of fruit, cereal & croissants not to mention a tasty full english with all local products, topped off with chunky toast & homemade preserves. We can't wait to stay again & can't recommend it highly enough
