The White House is a well established and popular non-smoking bed & breakfast located on the edge of the village of Broadwell in the heart of the Forest of Dean. All our rooms have en-suite toilets, showers and/or bathrooms as well as tea and coffee making facilities and TV.

A full English breakfast is included in the cost of a night’s stay, or if preferred, a continental breakfast is available. We have a secure cycle store for mountain bike enthusiasts, and plenty of parking space. The Heart of England tourist board have given the White House a 3 diamond (◊◊◊) rating.

Within a hundred yards of our front door lies the start of miles and miles of forest with it’s labyrinth of paths and cycle tracks, hidden lakes and ponds, and it’s varied wildlife. Here the patient and quiet walker can see rare birds like Goshawks, Kites and Wrynecks, and at Symonds Yat, the Peregrines, that every year raise their young on the sheer cliffs over-looking the River Wye. While deeper into the forest you may be lucky enough to see some of the many Deer, Badgers and Foxes that abound. If you’re really lucky (if that’s the right word) you may even get to see one of the fabled “Big Cats” that are being seen more and more.

Apart from walking and cycling, other available activities range from canoeing, rock-climbing and fishing, to visiting the many and varied attractions in the forest such as the strange landscape of Puzzlewood which inspired Tolkein to write his trilogy of books which includes “Lord of the Rings”.

The forest is also home to some wonderful pubs and restaurants where you can round off your day, before returning to The White House for a good night’s sleep.
