    we had a wonderful stay. My son and I stayed here for a week of skiing and the property was perfect. It was comfortable, clean and the perfect size. Hosts were also welcoming.

    We had the best stay at Andrea's white house. Communication was so easy and Andrea had some welcome gifts waiting for us at check in. The property was beautiful and warm and the perfect size for our family of 4. We would highly recommend the property and would definitely stay again!

    We had a great stay at the White House with Greg and Andrea hosting. Location is fab being just a 10 min drive from the skitube. The house is modern and fully stocked. The underfloor heating, fire and reverse cycle aircon was a Godsent after skiing. Beds are comfy and warm. The kitchen is fab - full of mod cons that I am used to at home. Will stay again next year

    Such a comfortable home. Everything was thoughtfully provided, even setting the fireplace ready to go. The heated floors were so lovely. Couldn’t ask for more.

    We stayed at The White House Retreat to help look after our grandkids while their parents were at a wedding at Tinkersfield. It was the perfect location and within walking distance of the wedding venue and their accommodation. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The outlook is beautiful and the cottage is well appointed. The area is quiet and the heating fantastic. Would stay again if going back that way.

    Loved our weeks stay during winter. Underfloor heating keeps the property warm and the wood fire is amazing to get going after a days skiing and meant we could dry our clothes each night after a day on the slopes. The grassed area was great for the kids to kick the ball around. Property had everything you could need and was in a great location for either snow fields and Jindy. We will look to return again next year.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at Andrea's cottage. The location is excellent, 5 minutes from the ski tube. All of the amenities were great! We loved the fire, and the house felt nice and cosy during winter. It's surrounded by nature and it would be wonderful in Summer too. We cannot wait to go back!
