The school house was a perfect spot for our family vacation. Plenty of space for everyone, clean and loaded with everything you could need. The hosts even left us some food staples to get us started which was great after such a long travel day. We would definitely stay here again!
This is my second stay here had a lovely relaxing stay. Even managed to use the pub across the road this time . Great space, well equipped and very comfy.
