Although I only stayed one night this was enough to understand that the owners really care for their property and this translates to the service given. They were polite and courteous and even remembered our names which is a nice touch. The food we had for dinner and breakfast was also delicious.

It's challenging to give a rating, because it all depends on what you want. An anodyne Marriott/Hilton experience it ain't, so if that's what you want you will not like it. This is more like a B&B. Charming. Friendly. Memorable. It's not perfect, but all the more lovable for it.

Restful, relaxing stay - a little different
What a great find, tucked just slightly off the beaten track, countryside views surrounding this stone former school-house, peaceful relaxing and welcoming stay, Such a friendly couple, Fred will also keep you company if required :) (family pet). The room has all you'll need, Iron, Kettle, hairdryer, En-suite shower room, chairs, desk, TV. Food is great, i make no exaggeration here, spending my working week up and down the country in various hotels and eateries, the portion is just right, very tasty fresh and healthy. The school-house is something a little different, it's nice but not too fancy, a place to relax and sleep, guests are friendly and pricing is very competitive for the area. I enjoyed my stay and hope to be back when over that way. Thanks for the lovely stay Karen.

Not good service at all
The male manager was completely rude. Threatened to THROW me out and when challenged to do so, backed down. Told me to “stop looking at me like that”. Grow up! The downstairs rooms were ok but the upstairs smelled of damp and there was obvious damp in the stairwell. You have to take your own trash home with you (no bin provided). You MUST eat at his restaurant and you must eat “before you go out”. Yeah he was arrogant!

A lesson for the Schoolhouse
They were still recommending use of out of date COVID policies (2 m distance not even 1 m distance and masks). For the first time ever in any hotel, they also wanted the customer to take away their own rubbish. Also, you had to have breakfast in your room, booked the night before. If anyone did have COVID it would be more likely covering the breakfast remains than old newspapers or trash? Restaurant service unavailable?

Awful attitude from the staff. We did not stay. I booked for an employee and they refused a room without my card, even though I had paid in full for it. Refused to speak on the telephone with me when I spoke to my employee. I had to ring the hotel. Rude, unfriendly and very unwelcoming. I book multiple hotels every week and never have I encountered a hotel with attitudes like this!

Never again
Quirky, time warp or simply run down - you decide. The bar which included the lounge seating was closed. Drinks were supplied to rooms meaning no chance to chat with other guests - or be comfortable. Breakfast was good, evening meal was very odd with Michelin prices. Eat up the road! Easily walkable. Lovely dining room, but cold in February! I was not given the option to review my account, the extras had already been charged to my card. I did get a receipt emailed later.
