    Trevor and I wanted to thank you both again for such a welcoming and comfortable stay in your lovely home. We were only with you for one night but felt thoroughly spoilt by your warm and gernerous hospitality. The food that you prepared for us was superb and easily on a par with starred restaurants. We have stayed in many B&B's, hotels, etc over the years. Yours is most definately the best and has overtaken our favourite place in The Black Mountains. Best wishes for a happy and hopefully for you relaxing Christmas. Barbara and Trevor Reply

    As always – fantastic!! I just need to find more reasons to come and stay. Lovely hosts, great room, AMAZING food – care and attention in all things. Thank you. Reply

      Great to know we can still ‘wow’ you with our food. We will need to dig deep into the recipe archives to find some new things to offer you next time you are here. Good luck in Belfast and remember PMA!

    What a fantastic place – we have had a great time and found the relaxing location, entertaining chicken and superb food a real treat. I am sure there are not many places that offer the same level of options for vegans and vegetarians. We will return in the near future so I can try the other puddings and who knows maybe 3 courses!! Please keep things going as they are for many years to come! Reply

    What a lovely find. A real “home from home” – but better because you get service with a smile! (Children may not appreciate this but adults (esp. mums) certainly will) Isabel & Ross are lovely people who run a lovely, clean, comfortable B&B – and you can even have a well cooked and very tasty evening meal. Breakfast will certainly set you up for the day. As vegetarians we felt very well catered for, which is a rarity! Reply
  5. Mr & Mrs D – 6 stars plus, June 18, 2012
    Ticks all the boxes – very clean, comfortable, friendly welcome but then delivers a whole lot more. Great attention to detail, exceptional food, peaceful location. Ross & Isabel are such welcoming, entertaining, talented (and slightly daft) hosts! Many thanks – we’ll be back. Reply

    What a lovely location and atmosphere not to mention the wonderful food. We cannot thank Ross and Isabel enough for a great couple of days. The room was superb and we really enjoyed ourselves although we put on a couple of pounds, once again thank you. Reply
  7. Mr & Mrs B - 6 stars, April 9, 2012
    We have thoroughly enjoyed our few days at White House in delightful Maesbury Marsh. A true gem of a find which we will definitely return to. Ross & Isabel are perfect hosts, friendly, professional and made us feel welcome right from the first moment. Our room cosy & warm & would love to stay again. The food fantastic & beautifully prepared. A joy to sit in the conservatory for our excellent meals watching “the girls” sturtting about in the garden. They are amusing and fascinating. Thank you Ross& Isabel, it’s the best B&B we have ever stayed in. Reply

    We had a FANTASTIC time this week end, it was a lovely Birthday surprise! I honestly couldn't of asked for more! I have stayed in alot of hotels, & guest houses & I can honestly say, this was definitely the most homely & welcoming of them all!! The meticulous attention to detail didn't go unnoticed! The room was immaculate, the food was wonderful, & being a vegetarian I always end up being the one who suffers when it comes to the menu, so I was completely spoilt for choice this time, "THANK YOU" You looked after us so well & we have already started telling our friends & family about you, so I'm positive you will be hearing from them soon! Adam has already said that he wants to book up for his Birthday in August ;-) Thanks again, we loved it. Take care & see you again soon, Lucy & Adam xx Reply

    “We had a lovely stay – have felt very welcomed and couldn’t be more complimentary of your B&B. It is beautifully clean and the attention to detail is great. Lovely food (possibly too much!!) as veggies great not to worry about provenance etc. We will be back in better weather to see the surrounds a bit more – Chris may come back sooner if the horse gives him a nervous breakdown!” Reply
    • Ross, February 9, 2012
      So pleased your trip was both enjoyable and a success. Don’t forget if you want to ‘park’ the new horse here when you come up to collect him, you are most welcome to. Have saddle – can ride!!

    Way beyond our expectations! The attention to detal and quality if accommodation sets a standard for others to try to achieve. The food was superb, satisfying and scrumptious. It was a joy to stay here. Reply
  11. Mr & Mrs O - 6 stars, August 19, 2011, August 21, 2011
    What an absolute gem of a B&B. Ross and Isabel very engaging couple. We hope to have very many more stays here. The evening meals are to die for (well not literally) “Oh the flavours and blends of herbs etc.” Fine dining at its best Reply
    • Isabel & Ross Southwell, August 21, 2011
      Great to know you enjoyed the stay and the food so much. We look forward to seeing you again.
  12. Mr & Mrs S - 6 stars, August 7, 2011
    How can you improve on perfection? 6 stars don't do you justice. Many thanks for making the last couple of days so enjoyable. Reply
  13. Mr A & Miss M - 6 stars, August 3, 2011
    Room - Homely and very comfortable. Very comfy bed + great shower. Fresh milk rather than nasty little UHT pots is a brilliant idea. Food – Steak so tender and cooked to perfection. Vegi haggis almost made M cry; it was so nice. Breakfast was equally as impressive. Other – Actual glasses in the room was a nice touch, an abundant supply of tea bags in the room was great. Love the gardens, hens and afternoon tea. We will be coming back, don’t change anything. Reply
  14. Mr D, Ms F and Family - 6 stars, May 3, 2011
    A perfect place to stay. Everything has been wonderful: the location; the hosts; the accommodation. The food has been absolutely gorgeous and I would recommend it to vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. Excellent!' Reply

    “This is a disastrous guest house to stay at if you are a) on a diet & b) need to go back to work! The food is well prepared, produced and presented with specific needs well met. Rooms are clean and comfortable with everything you need. Isabel & Ross are warm, friendly people never ‘in your face’ but always there if you need them. Definitely worth the 4 stars and more, that they have, the hens are 4 star as well! Thank you for a very enjoyable break, just what we needed.” Reply

    "Thank you for making us feel so welcome and for taking the time to make our stay so comfortable. Both room and hospitality were perfect. It is refreshing to find somewhere that completely understands vegan requirements. Would definitely recommend to family and friends". Reply

    “No bad comments what-so-ever! We will tell our friends about this wonderful place. It was great to see such a high standard of both food products (brand names removed) & cooking. Most importantly great company and hosts! We wish you all the best with the continuation of this fabulous B&B.” Reply

    “Very fortunate to have found Ross & Isabel & the White House. Mountains of wonderful food. We were made very welcome. We enjoyed our short stay every minute. The waiter was a bit iffy (only joking Ross!)” Reply
  31. Mr & Mrs D – 6 stars, June 15, 2010
    “Wonderful Hospitality, attention and food. Please take over the pub and guests will never need to leave the village! Look forward to visiting again, perhaps by boat or new ‘Elva’ sports car. Thanks a million Isabel & Ross” Reply
  32. Mr & Mrs McA - 6 stars, May 31, 2010
    “FAUTLESS! Made to feel very welcome & that nothing was too much trouble. Lovely boutique feel to the rooms and a lovely peaceful, charming setting. Breakfast was delicious – disappointed now that we never tried a full dinner – but definitely next time! ALSO the dual capacity for veggie & non-veggie is rather unique – a proper vegetarian that doesn’t eliminate meat-eaters – a true ‘open-to-all’ boutique property. Everyone should come!!” Reply
  33. Mr & Mrs W – 6 stars, May 8, 2010
    “What a great find – everything has been good. Thank you for an excellent evening meal. We appreciated the attention to detail throughout – the rooms, the dining room and the excellent friendly service – including the jokes!! Don’t sack the chef – she’s fantastic. Good luck with the building work. We hope to come back and see the result.” Reply

    “It isn’t often that one gets a chance to praise in these days of apathy and indifference so it is with great delight and joy that I can record a first class experience at White House, especially so for vegetarians! Gourmet food, incredibly hospitable and caring hosts, nothing too much trouble! I loved the attention to detail (e.g. covered glasses), very comfortable bed, great shower . . . . all in all a truly excellent time - stylish yet homely. Thank you both so much.” Ms W - 6 stars Reply
  36. Mr L - 6 stars, September 2, 2009
    "The large room (Master Suite) in "the best B&B" is fantactic, the four poster bed is very comfortable, the room is excellent and then we get to the bathroom. I have stayed in three rooms now here , all good but this one is the best. There was nothing better than coming back in the evening and sliding into the jet bath, so relaxing and so good and with the breakfast here it has made it my number 1 best B&B. Many thanks." Reply

    “We had a fantastic room as good as a suite in any five star hotel. Ross and Isabel, you both made our stay so enjoyable we couldn’t wish for anything more - but we got it - the best vegetarian food we’ve tasted away from home in 27 years. We’ll definitely be back even if we have to take a 100 mile detour”. Reply
