Excellent place to stay, thoughtfully decorated and set up with some tasty treats and breakfast supplies as well. Very relaxing two nights for me and my wife. Thank you
From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. The Old School house had a lovely ambience and the hosts had set it up so thoughtfully with lots of un expected little touches.
A wonderful place to stay and relax, surrounded by a lovely garden and with many extra touches that made us feel really welcomed. Very peaceful and serene, but still just a few minutes drive from all the necessitiesextra touches that made us feel really welcome.
Communication with owner was wonderful, the accommodation was exactly as promoted, expectations were exceeded, we would definitely recommend this property.
Lovely stay & very chilly weekend in the middle of winter
