“Family friendly hotel in stunning location on the tiny island of Herm - no cars allowed. Laid back retreat, devoid of TVs or telephones, for getting away from it all. With pool and award-winning gardens, and a beautiful island to explore.”

Hotel review

Herm is a tiny car-less island and the White House is its only hotel. It has a very loyal clientele who come back year after year and love its unpretentious, laid back atmosphere and its lack of modern sophistry - no Ipod stations or flat screen TVs here! There are 40 hotel rooms catering for all, from singles to family suites, some of which have recently been refurbished. Food wise you have the choice of Conservatory Restaurant or the less formal Ship Inn Brasserie. For entertainment get out and explore the stunning location on foot or simply laze by the palm lined pool!
