Sean was such a lovely host and the school house was stunning, the garden was such a treat to wake up to. Bus stop was a 3 minute walk and easy peasy to get around. I would highly recommend this stay to anyone curious about Ascot!
This property was very quaint and well located for getting to London and Windsor. The hosts accommodated our requests and were very pleasant to communicate with. I would recommend this location to anyone looking for a nice little place to stay when in England.

Had a lovely 2 night stay at the Old School House.The cottage is really cosy and modern and has everything you need to relax and unwind after a day of sightseeing.
My wife and I had a wonderful stay at the Old School House. Hosts were very friendly and the property was all set up and comfortable. We enjoyed sitting in the well-kept garden and having a glass of wine. Great location for making a trip to Windsor Castle.

Nate and Alycia were charming guests, very friendly and they looked after our cottage perfectly. We’d happily welcome them back.
Beautifully designed, very clean and thoughtfully equipped property in quiet location with off-road parking and easy access to main routes. Hosts communicated promptly and clearly and were very helpful and welcoming.
The property was excellent as were the owners. The sitting area was comfortable, the shower was great. The bed was very comfortable. The property was very clean. The location was great for us because we wanted to be close
to and to walk in Windsor Great Park
The labels on the survey were not showing, but the property was 5 stars across the board. Just about 25 minutes from Heathrow and close to Windsor Great park. Sean and Caroline were great hosts and the chickens were were very friendly - some of them promised to write! Nice pubs and restaurants nearby. It was a perfect spot to get ready for our long flight home after 4 weeks in England.
The cottage was clean, cozy, and had all the amenities we needed to end our UK trip. We were able to rest, enjoy the sun in the garden, and recoup from our adventure, before hopping on a plane home. Our host was kind and accommodating and responded very quickly. It's a beautiful neighborhood. The only thing to note is it is quite a long walk to/from the train stations and grocery stores. You will need a car or bus to get there.
My husband and I think the Schoolhouse is one of the best VRBO stays we have enjoyed. Although the space was small, every aspect of it was thoughtfully designed and excellent. The bed was very comfortable, the shower was excellent, the small kitchen was nicely equipped, the seating area was comfortable and we were able to use the speaker to play our songlists. The garden was lovely and Sean and Caroline were excellent hosts. We would love to return as we could walk to a pub, we found an excellent bakery in Ascot and we enjoyed the hours of walking through Windsor Great Park.
Wow, what a fantastic location and accommodation. Owners were on hand but not intrusive, very kindly left milk, coffee, tea and little extras for our use, also toiletries. The accommodation was very clean, the best we have had, fresh and inviting. The location was just right, pubs and restaurants very nearby and close enough to travel around the area to local attractions, villages and towns, it could not have been better placed. We had a lovely 4 night stay and would recommend to all ages, would certainly visit again. A big thank you to Caroline and Sean.

We were delighted to host Pauline and David for a few nights. They were a charming, polite and quiet couple who were out and about for much of their stay so we hardly saw them. They looked after our cottage perfectly and left it in spotless and pristine condition. We’d happily host them again.
We arrived into Heathrow early and stayed at the Old School House. The owners (Caroline and Sean) were very hospitable and helpful with information. The location is fantastic. Very close to Ascot and Sunninghill. It is an excellent place to stay when you start your travels in the UK. The property is clean and comfortable with nice furnishings. This was so much better than another hotel. Also a very good base if you’d like to visit nearby Windsor (there’s a bus that takes you directly from the property or it’s a short drive). I highly recommend the property to you.

We very much enjoyed hosting John and Jacqui. They were friendly and delightful to chat to (and remarkably bright and cheery even though they had just arrived all the way from Australia).
They were great guests, they looked after our cottage perfectly and left it very clean and tidy. We’d welcome them back any time.
Sean and Carolyn were very welcoming to these 2 weary Canadians. We were extremely happy when the suitcase the airline lost actually showed up the next day. They kept it safe for us (It was protected from the rain while we were out exploring) and when our power bar blew the breaker they immediately came over to fix the situation. We enjoyed our sleep, our great water pressure in the shower the next day, and their thoughtfulness in providing fruit and cereals, tea, and coffee for us too.
It is a beautiful place, the grounds as well, and we liked seeing their chickens and cats wandering around too.
This cottage is perfect in every way. It had everything we could have asked for. Fully stocked and super clean. An across the street easy bus ride into Windsor and easy access to the train stations which we took out to Stonehenge. I spent 3 days there with my adult daughter who would love to live there permanently. ; ) The hosts were charming and helpful no matter what the hour. The only thing I wish is that we had spent more time here. A+/5 Star all around wonderful place to stay and visit. Highly recommend! Thank you Sean and Caroline for helping to make this a magical trip for us. I would love to return someday. xoxo
Early check-in was accomodated after lunch at the nearby pub. Everything was exactly as per listing. 5-minute drive to shops in Ascot, convenient bus to Windsor across the street from the unit.
This was one of the nicest rentals I’ve stayed in. Exactly as depicted in photos, right up the road from a friendly pub. What more could a guy ask for? 😀 I would highly recommend this location.
