Welcoming four-legged friends as well, it is set in a great location for country walks.

Here there is a sofa to relax on after your long walks and a wood burner to light on chilly evenings as you watch the Smart TV. The kitchen area includes everything you require for creating homecooked delicacies and there is a dining table and chairs for your romantic meals together. There is a family shower room, with WC, at the cottage, plus a special treat in the king-size bedroom, where you can also recline in a free-standing bath, looking out through bi-folding doors, or opening them up on warm days, as you also soak up the views.

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.

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.
