School Cottage Reviews

Linda Ramsey Burney
21st July 2025
We stayed in this beautiful converted old school building for a long weekend, as a family of five. As soon as I walked in I felt at home. The rooms were so light and airy with views into the lovely large garden, and beyond. We made use of the spacious hot tub every day, and it was so relaxing to unwind at the end of the day. The furniture inside and out was very comfortable, as were the beds. Bev and Robin, the owners who live next door, were so helpful and friendly. There if you wanted to chat, or kept to themselves if you didn't. We visited the coast every day and had some lovely walks. This was the perfect relaxing weekend for us, and we all enjoyed it so much. We would love to visit again one day.
