THE WHITE HOUSE HOTEL<br />
With its emphasis on peace and<br />
comfort, The White House Hotel<br />
is the perfect place to unwind<br />
in style. There are no televisions,<br />
no clocks on the walls and no<br />
telephones in the bedrooms so<br />
you can set your own pace and<br />
escape from the 21st century for<br />
a while. The Hotel has an oldfashioned<br />
elegance and sense of<br />
decorum that transports you back<br />
to more genteel times: residents<br />
dress for dinner and are invited<br />
to enjoy drinks in the Monk’s<br />
Bar overlooking the gardens<br />
before dining in the world-class<br />
restaurant and watching the sun<br />
set behind Guernsey.<br />
The AA rosette restaurant is<br />
a popular venue for Guernsey<br />
residents as well as Hotel guests<br />
and offers an excellent fine dining<br />
table d’hote menu that changes<br />
daily to follow the seasons and<br />
of course the catch of the day.<br />
Our wine list is one of the most<br />
extensive in the Channel <strong>Island</strong>s<br />
and we personally source new<br />
and often exclusive wines every<br />
year to keep the cellar impeccably<br />
stocked.<br />
There is a wonderful community<br />
spirit in <strong>Herm</strong> that has resulted<br />
in some staggering achievements:<br />
the island has twice now been<br />
awarded a coveted Britain in<br />
Bloom Gold Medal, most recently<br />
in 2008, and the stunningly<br />
landscaped gardens of The White<br />
House make the perfect retreat.<br />
Guests can take tea by the pool,<br />
play a game of tennis or croquet<br />
on the lawns or simply pick a<br />
sofa and curl up in front of the<br />
fire with a coffee and admire the<br />
views.<br />
Tradition is cherished at The<br />
White House and many families<br />
have been coming for three<br />
generations for a little R and R.<br />
There are a variety of bedrooms,<br />
including Harbour Cottage with<br />
its own garden, the luxurious<br />
Crow’s Nest Suite and several<br />
family rooms. Children are very<br />
welcome and there is a popular<br />
high tea for smaller diners as<br />
well as a baby-listening service so<br />
that Mum and Dad can enjoy a<br />
romantic dinner in the restaurant.<br />
Each morning we throw open the windows<br />
to let in the morning sun and admire<br />
the breathtaking sea views.
