About this property

Ballintoy old school house - full of Irish charm and character

A gorgeous listed building that has so much Irish character and charm - yet has all the amenities and comfort to make sure you have a relaxing, enjoyable, unforgettable stay. relax, unwind and enjoy.
The old school house is nestled up off the coast road, sitting high to give spectacular views of the ferocious Atlantic, Rathlin Island, Islay, the Mull of Kintyre, Sheep Isle and the surrounding area of outstanding natural beauty.

The old school house is a Grade B1 listed building built in 1760 to educate the local school children. It has been restored to a very high standard, and we want to share this landmark property with guests so they can stay in one of the oldest buildings in the local area.

Don't just take my word for it - book a stay and just sit, look out the window at the ever-changing view, which you will never tire of.

The old school house is situated outside the quaint village of Ballntoy

Ballintoy old school house was a fabulous place to stay. In fact, the school house was our favorite accommodation out of 4 while we traveled Ireland with our family of 4. The house is beautifully updated while maintaining the charm and character. The views are breathtaking. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer! One disadvantage is that you have to park a bit down the road and walk to the school house. Do not let this deter you from booking and staying here - it was a non issue for us! Thank you to the host and beautiful town - we'll be back!
