The White Horse was built in the 19th century. Known as "Richmond Villa" it was built by Lord Churston, the land then being part of his estate. The railway was constructed in the 1860's and Lord Churston being on the railway board sold off parts of his estate enabling the line to continue into Kingswear and the Brixham branch line was created. Today our garden gives lovely picturesque views, sporting steam trains running between Paignton and Kingswear. The house passed into the hands of John Williams-Bennett, a local school master, in the 1890's. As his 13 children grew up and subsequently moved on, paying guests were taken in and "Richmond Villa" became the White House Hotel.

TV's & DVD's In Every Room

During the second world war it is reputed that General Eisenhower was a guest, more than probable as the area was inundated with U.S. troops on exercise for the D-Day landings, or maybe his visit was a morale boosting exercise after the loss of almost 1000 troops during excerise Tiger at Slapton Sands.In the mid 1960's the "White House" became the "White Horse", the owners at the time having horse racing connections. Since 1991 the building has undergone a programme of restoration uncovering some very fine examples of Victorian workmanship.
