Reviews of The Old School House
"The schoolhouse was in a stunning position ,with fabulous views ,it was also ideal for our dogs with having tiled ,wooden floors . Unfortunately the place could do with a good deep clean ,when we arrived the place had lots of black dog hairs on most of the floors before our dogs had been in , this would be very off putting for people without dogs . Also lots of cobwebs and dead flies on the window sills ,the kitchen smelled very musty but on the plus side it is a very old building with lots of character ! If the place was a little cleaner I would definitely go back for the wonderful views !"
