I recently booked white park house because it had such terrific reviews on trip advisor. I have to agree with most of what they say; the breakfast was fantastic, the views (even through the rain) were great and the room was probably one of the nicest we have stayed in. However Bob as a host was definately not what we were expecting. His manner was quite rude and abrupt on arrival and he dismissed our (carefully thought out and researched) plans and we eventually felt we had to change our plans simply so he wuld leve us alone. Maybe we caught him at a bad time however we were quite shocked with his attitude and felt uncomfortable being at the house.
My advice is if you want to end up having the weekend Bob wants you to (which is not bad just feels forced and what everyone does who stays there) then White Park house really is a lovely place to stay. However if you have your own ideas and plans, stay somewhere else.
I personally would not recommend White Park house to friends.

We (hubby and myself as well as my parents) had the pleasure of staying with Bob at the lovely Whitepark House for 3 nights. Not to echo what all other review say, but Bob is the perfect host and gives wonderful advice for the area - truly an ambassador! We loved one of his dinner recommendations so much that we had dinner at Tartine two nights in a row! The two rooms that the 4 of us occupied were lovely and the shower was the best that we have come across in Ireland in our trips. Breakfast was lovely shared with fellow travelers and we LOVED Bob's brown bread. The only possible downside that we saw to staying at the Whitepark House was that Bob was not willing to share his secret recipe for the brown bread! :-) Thank you Bob!

What there is to say about the comfort and quality of this establishment has already been said by many a Trip Advisor reviewer and a number of professional accolades have been awarded..

Bob sets a standard that, I believe, would be hard to beat in any B & B worldwide. His care and attention to detail is second to none and he is always on hand to give knowledgeable advice regarding places to eat and visit. The decor and furnishing of all rooms is very high and his 'tradition' of serving tea and biscuits in the lounge each evening is becoming legendary.

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night break at Whitepark House and we would have no hesitation in returning. To repeat a recent comment from one of our ex-colonial cousins - "Great Job Bob".

In a land of bed & breakfast accommodations our little group agreed that Bob provided the best breakfast of our stay as well as the most comfortable bed. The home is very smartly decorated with care. He was helpful in our itinerary planning and is quite a character, you could tell you were in the UK. It's obvious why he has won landlady of the year so many times!
