    Back to School Experience 😂

    Peaceful quite country location. The School House was very quirky, rustic and historic. Fantastic accommodation and experience to stay there.

    Nothing to dislike everything was as advertised including the supply of fresh baked bread and fresh free range eggs 🥚 🫶👌

    The whole experience was great. Steve meet us at the school house on arrival and was welcoming and even had a freshly baked loaf of bread organised to be dropped off later for us to enjoy, and enjoy we did. Eggs, milk, butter and spreads were in the fridge also which was a really lovely surprise, so thank you very much. The space was very comfortable with a good shower. Comfy bed and it was nice to wake up to birds singing. Highly recommended for a comfortable stay.
