A beautiful cottage, well fitted out, with a large and modern bathroom upstairs (loved the shower and the bath), and a well equipped kitchen and large living room, as well as comfortable beds to sleep in. We enjoyed some great walks in the area. Worked very well as a base for our family half term break.

We loved the Old School House, it's location is perfect, it felt so peaceful with lovely views and yet just a short drive to town. The house had absolutely everything we could need, and it was so comfortable. We especially enjoyed the roll top bath with views of the countryside!
