The White House

7 Customer Reviews

• "The property is not easy to reach on foot as the gradients are steep to the house and takes a good 30 minutes from the centre of Torquay,unfortunately whilst we were there a lot of roadwork’s were going on, so driving was awkward because of diversions."

  The sofa and chair need replacing the bathroom on suite in (Japan sea ) is in need of a total revamp plus the towel rail would not function and the step between the toilet and shower was narrow, and a little dangerous for the elderly clients.Also a strange heating system, which I think was controlled by the owners .

  The property could do with updating the furniture was just about worn out and the electric heating was not working properly got cold in the evening location was very good but must say it’s very well dog friendly we personally would not book this property again

• "The White House was well equipped, clean and tidy and the welcome basket was lovely to receive."

  It was lovely and quiet being 10 minutes from Torquay Harbour/shops. The walk down and up was not as steep as anticipated and not a problem for us and found numerous ways of getting down to Torquay and back. It was good having a parking space too. We didn't use the car for 5 days as it was easy to get around walking or by local bus..

• "A lovely holiday home."

  Well equipped kitchen. Parking is tight but still usable. Lounge great. Cosy beds. Bedrooms are a little old but functional. TVs in the bedroom are way to high up and unusable. Walk down is steep but a good exercise. It could do with being clearer how the heating works. Overall a nice stay. Loved the hamper in the kitchen and the milk in the fridge. Nice touches.

• "A very comfortable, well equipped and peaceful property."

  The owners were happy to reconfigure the beds so that we had two spacious en suite double bedrooms. It is a short but steep walk to the harbour, which is well worth the effort as there are lots of excellent cafes and bars. We could not fault The White House and would thoroughly recommend it.

  We are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us. The harbour cafes and restaurants really do give the town a summer holiday feel - and you brought us some very good weather. Thank you! Property Owner

• "The cottage was lovely & well presented when we arrived."

  Great location if not a little hilly but close to the harbour which was excellent. Nice little touches for our dog. A few board games we made use of on our first night as it was very wet out. However, description of cottage doesn’t mention shared outdoor space. This is access for an apartment. Could do with knowing this before booking. Outdoor space hasn’t been used by anyone for a long time! Was quite hot when we were there would have been nice to sit out but covered by trees and cobwebs. No blinds at that rear door so people passing through can see in! Make sure you’re dressed! Only one pan to cook up a ‘culinary delight’ as advertised. Not many utensils but we weren’t that bothered as we ate out every night. The sofa could do with being replaced. Very flat and old and very uncomfortable. No mention of the parking being at the bottom of a dark driveway. Only one security light stayed on for seconds. Not enough to get up the hill to the house. The photo in the advert shows parking bays at the front door. These seem to be for the owners only. Misleading. We had an issue with neighbours one night which was very scary, shouting in the street then in the premises. Torquay itself, we had a great week away.

  Thank you for the helpful feedback - I am sorry that you were disappointed in the outside space. The trees (overhanging from our neighbour's property) can be gloomy in bad weather, but a blessing when you need the shade! It is a small courtyard but it is cleaned every Friday, and a number of guests have appreciated having their own barbecue. We will amend the write up to make clear that the front of the house is for loading/unloading only, parking is on the lower drive. The kitchen is full equipped with saucepans, frying pans, baking trays etc. If any guest has trouble finding the saucepans or any other equipment -please call the phone numbers we leave in the property and we will point you to the right cupboard. We will ensure all other issues reported are assessed on the changeover.
