About this property
Cottage at The Old School
The school has been converted to the highest standard with exposed internal stonework, with tweeds from the Islay Woollen Mill visible in every room.
The old playground is enclosed and is a perfect area to relax outside and watch the sea in the distance. There is ample parking within the playground for at least four cars.
Orsay lighthouse and the French man's rocks are a short distance away. There is a bus stop 100 yards from the school.
There is an airport 40 minutes drive from the property. A bus can also transport you and takes around 60 minutes to get there.
The Old School is a listed building and is situated in the conservation fishing village of Portnahaven.
The village has a beautiful harbour with resident seals and the school is 3 minutes walk to the harbour.
There is also a small convenience store and post office and local pub.
The school comprises of a large dining kitchen, three double bedrooms (two with en suite) and one twin bedroom.
Main bathroom with separate shower and bath.
Both the kitchen and lounge have wood burning stoves. The property sleeps 8 people.

Please let us know the reason for your visit and we will endeavour to make your holiday all the more unique.
We accept well behaved dogs.
