STUNNING!
Never has school seemed so enchanting.This conversion gets an A+ for interior design and comfort. The 6 of us loved being there, walking to the Seafood Shack and local pub. It was a lovely base camp for trips to distilleries. The place resonates with happiness and beautiful views.

We were a party of seven and had a wonderful, extremely comfortable, stay in The Old School.
We loved the big communal kitchen with the cosy wood burning stove and had many enjoyable meals. The beds were very comfortable and bathrooms and showers etc very good. The rooms are spaced out so you can be together, but also have your own space. There is also a living room with wood burner and TV etc. All round excellent accommodation in a lovely wee port village.

It was a very pleasant stay. The haouse is even better than on the photos.
The Old School has a very cosy and charming atmosphere. The views are marvellous and Portnahaven is such a beautiful small village.
