White House Restaurant & Rooms

Stayed for a few nights B and B. Room itself was nice enough, good shower. Wish we hadn’t bothered with the breakfast, strange system of having to prebook precisely what you want down to the exact sausage the night before with exact time you will be downstairs.

Don’t really understand this especially as breakfast is £10 each set fee and latest time is 9am. I have never stayed in a hotel with this system, set menu or the £10 price tag which feels designed to spend as little as possible on food while clawing more money off you.

Sparse offerings in terms of cereal no pastries etc. Didn’t bother having the breakfast for two mornings as it genuinely didn’t suit us, asked for refund but as was prepaid we were denied.

So if you want to sleep in a bit don’t bother at all. Another issue was restaurant opening times; not open Sunday evening which was disappointing but fine the barman gave a recommendation of another pub restaurant. The booklet in our room said the restaurant was closed Tuesday and Wednesday. It wasn’t, we walked past a full restaurant on Tuesday evening after having gotten a takeaway after a day out, we would have preferred to try the restaurant which gets good reviews.

Also found spa staff unhelpful when I enquired about availability for treatments during our stay and were told no availability at all. No effort to slot us in if there was a cancellation or an ask of how long our stay was, just a feeling they didn’t really want to help.

Overall odd experience there. I probably would go again as location suits me for visiting family but definitely not bother with breakfast some lovely cafes near much better value and less faff. The room is definitely serviceable and is in a good location but definitely skip the breakfast offering .

A star down this time due to some of our party not enjoying the food. The onion chutney on the burger just didn't work and maybe should be served seperately and the duck stir fry was considered lacking in duck and somewhat watery. Apart from that it was fine though mash would be better than chips with steak and ale pie and more veg would be nice

Worst pedicure I've ever had. Therapist exfoliated my toes and top of foot never touched my heels. No foot file was used either. No cuticle treatment. No base coat or top coat for polish. I was told to walk down corridor in bare feet and sit and wait for polish to dry, felt like my feet were dirty. Treatment was for 60 minutes but she only took about 45 minutes. Not the experience I was hoping for, for £30. I should have complained but I was too gobsmacked.

We went to the spa last week on a Friday. It was lovely and quiet. I felt like had it been busy there wouldn’t be enough space for all to use facilities. We didn’t have to wait to use anything. The facilitates were great and we each had a lovely massage. Great value for money.

We only booked in at the Whitehouse because it's situated next to the Rhualllt Country Park campsite, where we were staying.
Pleasant atmosphere and very friendly efficient staff, as do many places. However, the food quality really sets it apart from your run of the mill eatery - We both had risotto (Two different types) and they were quite simply the best we've ever had. A wonderful balance of flavours and consistency that was absolutely delicious.
We then both opted for the cheese plate instead of a sweet dessert. These each had four enormous helpings of stilton, cheddar, brie and another that escapes me, but they tasted great and came with a good variety of biscuits, plus apple and chutney. To be honest, one plate between us would have been more than enough, but we just managed to finish both!
I can't recommend this place highly enough - You won't be disappointed.

I work away alot and I must say, this was definitely one of the better ones. Parking was easy, staff friendly, room very clean and comfy. I paid for Spa thinking I had my shorts but sadly forgot to repack a couple of days before so didn't get chance to experience the Spa facilities! Nice and quiet location so had a peaceful sleep.

All in all....enjoyable stay

Really enjoyed the new-year eve meal and entertainment, sadly the noise in our room from the spa electrics spoilt what would have been a comfortable nights sleep. We did complian but to no avail. So I'll book a taxi home in future!!!

I love this place, for a Sunday dinner the food is amazing!!!! Service is the best anyone could ask for, set in a picture-perfect location, however party nights aren't quiet there yet. Food and service isn't as good, but atmosphere is fab and tbh worth going.
