This b&b was exceptional, the room was delightful despite it being dog friendly! The hosts were always on hand and provided everything without question. We had a wonderful sleep in luxury bedding, it was very quiet with just the pigs in the distance for company. Lots of other dogs staying which makes this place super dog friendly not just dog tolerant like so many other premises. We would definitely return and would highly recommend to anyone thinking of visiting this area.

Exceptional Stay
We had such a lovely, peaceful, relaxing stay at the Old School House and the hosts Diane and Andy did an amazing job even with all the covid-19 restrictions. Our bedroom was beautifully decorated with sumptuous bed and bed linen as well as colour co-ordinated furnishings. The en-suite had luxurious towels and toiletries which made us feel extra special. We had a restful night sleep and we loved the little touches like fresh milk on request and flowers in the rooms. The whole place was sparking clean. The house is surround by wonderful gardens and fields beyond which was an absolute joy to spend time in. The breakfast was outstanding and cooked to perfection with high quality locally sourced ingredients; the eggs were an extra treat because they came from the hosts own chickens. Diane and Andy have create a space where their guests can feel welcomed and comfortable and we highly recommend this B&B which is situated in an excellent location for those who want to escape to the countryside.
