Take off your walking boots, hang up your dog leads and make your way into the cottage, where you'll instantly warm those chilly toes on the underfloor heating. Sink into the plush sofa in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner and fire up the wood burner for evening snuggles with your other half. Nearby, a modern kitchen offers all the equipment required to impress your hungry guest before serving at the booth in the corner. A lovely large garden with a patio and lawn provides scenic surroundings for nighttime tipples and early morning cuppas or soaking up the views from the bedroom.

Whilst this is in a lovely location with peaceful vista and great wildlife, we found this cottage disappointing and not worth the price charged. The bifold doors were broken and couldnt be used, the cottage was not very clean and a bit shabby in multiple respects. We were also surprised that the welcome pack comprised of a sellotaped up, almost empRead morety pack of coffee. Overall pleasant but not worth the money. Hide

Beautiful place in a stunning location. Very peaceful and we had a lovely 5 night break. The wood burner helped make it even more cosy. We would highly recommend staying here and hope to come back in the summer.

The Old School House is a fantastic property to stay at. It is very relaxing with impressive countryside views all round, we even saw a barn owl in the back garden. We loved our stay here. The only slight issue we had was with the property draining system but I believe the owners are aware of the problem and are planning to fix it.
