My wife & I had the most wonderful 3 night stay in the White House Guest House with our dog Buddy. We were greeted with a lovely welcome from Prue the owner who was so friendly & always happy & smiling. The first impressions of the beautiful guest house were amazing. It was spotlessly clean, our room had everything you could imagine you would ever need. Buddy loved it too & was spoilt every morning with his own breakfast treats & cuddles from Prue. It’s super dog friendly throughout. It was very comfortable & peaceful in an amazing location with wonderful views. Can’t speak highly enough about our time spent there. We would recommend to all including your furry ones, as you will have no concerns. Breakfast was amazing & so much to choose from fresh fruit, cereals, yogurts, toast, & a full English. We loved every minute & wished we could have stayed longer, but we definitely will be back. You need to stay here to experience it for yourself. Thank you Prue for everything!

This was a perfect place to stay on our way up to do the NC500. The owner Pru couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating seeing as we had our dog with us. It was a comfortable stay and the breakfast in the morning was lovely, our dog even got some treats too.

I had to bring two poodles to Penrith, one to go to vet hospital for eye surgery and the other one and I had to kill 6 plus hours waiting to collect poodle 1. …
