This charming retreat is designed to be family and dog-friendly, making it an ideal getaway for golfers, walkers, beach enthusiasts, and motorsports fans. The cottage dates back to the time when the nearby Duns Castle underwent a Gothic Revival renovation in the 1820s, and it features a lovely garden that borders the castle's walled grounds, providing a serene environment for relaxation and outdoor activities.
The interior of The White House is characterized by its spacious and inviting kitchen, which serves as a central gathering place for families. The kitchen is equipped with a farmhouse table that seats six, complemented by a bright red AGA range cooker that adds warmth and charm.

The location of The White House is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, with a variety of walking trails starting from the front door, winding through the 1,200-acre estate of the picturesque Duns Castle. Guests can explore woodland paths, discover two scenic ponds, and observe local wildlife, including roe deer and red squirrels.
