INTRODUCTION

At Whitemoor House we aim to provide comfortable Bed & Breakfast accommodation and to cater for all the needs of our guests. We will always do our best to satisfy the expectations of all our visitors.

It should be noted that Whitemoor House is built on three floors (including the ground floor) and the 2nd floor has, in places, slightly lowered ceilings due to the eaves of the roof. However, the largest part of each room has full standing headroom, even for the tallest of guests.
