Beautiful Peaceful Stay

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.

The best little schoolhouse in Cheapside!

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

Near Windsor Park, Delightful Stay

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.

What A Lovely Wee Cottage!

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.

Great place for a short stay

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.

Lovely place to stay outside of London

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.

Lovely Cottage

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

Beautiful little property for a weekend away. Tastefully converted old school house. Hosts were excellent and made us feel extremely welcome and provided a lovely basket of breakfast options and fresh fruit. We will definitely be coming back to spend more time in the area and will certainly be staying at the old school house. Definitely 5 star accommodation.
