Herm Island White House Hotel

We had a room separate from main hotel. Room was clean with comfy bed, had very large bathroom. No TV, which we quite liked, helpful staff in reception and restaurants. Enjoyed the outdoor pool too. This was our first visit to Herm but we will return as we really enjoyed, thank you

A comfortable room, good bed, commodious bathroom, but it is the island itself that is the real star. With perfect sandy bays and no traffic it is the perfect chill out destination. Yes you can go for a day trip but staying at the hotel means you can take your time rather than rushing for the last boat home. And the evenings are stunning. Almost no light pollution = an incredible field of stars shining brightly. And normally it is still and quiet - although occasionally the Mermaid [pub] hosts an event with an evening boat from/to Guernsey. Then it can be noisy but these events end shortly after 10pm. The hotel was also rather cheaper than the last time I stayed many years ago. To me it is second best to the self-catering cottage option on Herm but those are available for a minimum of 3 nights and the White House is a very good alternative if you can't stay that long.

This was my first stay on the Island. The initial hick up with our room was quickly sorted out by the new Deputy Manager, he could not have been more helpful. Our accommodation had a lovely sea view, the bed was comfortable and the room clean. As I have a garlic allergy the staff catered for this very well, I was kept informed of the food which wouldn’t suit me. Even at breakfast, nothing was too much trouble, I preferred berries with my pancakes and the menu was adapted for me. I understand there has been some previous bad press, however, under the new management team it looks like the changes being implemented are positive. It was a very enjoyable stay and I will be back next year. I would like to compliment all the staff for being so helpful and attentive. I would advise you bring essentials such as mosquito repellent etc as the little shop here is limited. If you want peace and tranquility this is the place to come!

We stayed here for 2 nights as part of an island hopping tour - unfortunately the hotel website is very misleading.... the rooms are not as pictured due to a recent renovation. This has ruined the appearance of the rooms down to poor workmanship. Paint has been left on carpets, masking tape has been left on the windows and walls, the bath was chipped and it has an overall feel of poor quality. We stayed in the crows nest which is a lovely suite and has great distant views. To be picky seeing the gas bottles and rubbish areas below was not pleasant. The food.....well we didnt eat dinner as breakfast was appalling - the quality of food is appalling - eggs royale turned up cold and on a stale untoasted muffin. The following morning offered the incorrect breakfast then had to ask after a long wait why it was taking so long.....we ordered bacon and sausages to make our own sandwiches - how hard can it be? The staff are lovely and so are the gardens and pool area. It needs to step up as it was not a pleasant stay.

Just a shout out to the White House Hotel.As a regular visitor one does see changes over the years . This year the hotel staff were exemplary for their attention and keen to please attitude . A warm welcome at reception, delicious food at the conservatory restaurant though slightly less choice. The bar and restaurant staff are happy and keen to assist .Rooms were usual high standard with stunning views . Good breakfast and cooked breakfast to order provides a fresher option than the buffet offering last year. The shop always has lots to tempt. The cafes at Belvoir and Shell are great as you wander round the island . The island remains a very special unspoilt jewel in the Channel Islands . I know it is expensive but in my view it is worth it. I hope the Island has a good season .

The all experience not good… myself and my other half went for a formal night in the hotel restaurant… over priced and didn’t taste very good. We came in October which was excellent but maybe a new team? The island itself was amazing experience and the we couldn’t fault the rooms. Come but don’t eat!!!
