Fabulous cottage. Great location. Would have been good to have handwash in each bathroom (or let people know they need to bring their own). Would definitely stay again

We had a brilliant New Year at The School House.
We had a brilliant New Year at The School House. We were sharing with another family and found the house very relaxing and social to be in. It was spotless and well presented. The only reason I gave "comfort and equipment" good instead of excellent is that we felt a few more plates and mugs would be good as if we had one load in the dishwasher then we were a bit short. Apart from that everything was great. We loved the surrounding area for walks and cycling and the local pub/restaurant was really friendly and the food was excellent. Would highly recommend.
