⭐ A WONDERFUL NEW 5-STAR REVIEW ⭐

Bringing 24 members of the family together under one roof isn’t always easy—but that is exactly what the Big White House was created for.

“Our whole extended family of 24 had our family reunion here. Having three lounges as well as a pool room meant we could spend time together, but also find our own space when needed.”

Our guests particularly appreciated the large private garden and gated drive, which gave the children plenty of room to play safely.

They also gave us 5 out of 5 for our rooms, service and location, describing the house as child-friendly, great value and somewhere they would definitely visit again.

With 11 bedrooms, room for 24 guests, an 18-foot dining table and plenty of separate living spaces, the Big White House makes it possible for the whole family to be together—without feeling on top of one another.

Thank you to our guests for such a thoughtful review. ❤️
