Carol and Robert Ames would love to welcome you to the White House Bed and Breakfast in Poole, Dorset.

After five years of extensive modernisation, we now offer high quality accommodation. All our rooms are en-suite and offer twin, king or super-king beds. Wet rooms are featured in both ground floor bedrooms and there is an ensuite bath and shower to the first floor bedroom. All the rooms are furnished in a contemporary style with free internet access, I-pod dock radio alarms and L.C.D. televisions with Freeview. All rooms have underfloor heating, complementary toiletries by The Purbeck Soap Company and our tea/coffee trays have homemade cakes or biscuits daily. A copy of the current Dorset or Dorset Life magazine is provided for your enjoyment.

Laundry facilities are always available. An ironing board and iron are in all rooms as are hair dryers.

We operate a non smoking policy but feel free to enjoy on our deck or gardens.

Relax after your journey with complementary coffee and homemade cake.

Our breakfasts are always freshly cooked to order and we have a flexible feel to breakfast times. We try to use only locally sourced products as much as possible and free range / organic if we can. Special diets are always catered for just let us know in advance. Carol has extensive experience of catering for special /restrictive diets.

We are close to a range of pubs and restaurants and are happy to give advice or book for you. Having lived and explored the area for over 15 years we have lots of ideas for trips out and about Poole Quay is only 10 minutes away, with Sandbanks blue flag beaches just slightly further and Bournemouth is only a 20 minute drive. The Isle of Purbeck is just a short drive with Monkey World, Swanage and the Tank Museum or perhaps Laurence of Arabia and Thomas Hardy country will appeal to you. There are also many lovely gardens in the area such as Compton Acres and Stapehill Abbey. For longer days out, try the Georgian town of Blandford Forum or Shaftsbury (with Gold Hill made famous by the Hovis ad) or Weymouth with its lovely golden sands.

Whatever the season there is always something to see and do in Dorset. Ideal for a short weekend break or a week long holiday. See our links and attractions page for more details.

We accept all major credit cards. We are a dog friendly B&B.

We are closed annually for Winter as a Bed & Breakfast.
