Arrival and departure times
In common with most B&B Guest Houses and to make sure we are here to welcome you to The White House, we ask our Guests to arrive between 4.30pm and 6.30pm.  Of course, if there is a special reason for arriving earlier than 4.30pm or later than 6.30pm (for instance, to change for a wedding, etc… or later arrival for any reason) please let us know when booking or as soon as possible thereafter. 

On the day of your departure from The White House, we would be very grateful if you could vacate your room no later than 10.30am on weekdays or 11.00am at the weekend so that we have sufficient time for our staff to clean and prepare the rooms in readiness for our next Guests.  Thank you.
