Set within a beautiful Victorian School House which dates back to the 1830s, is this lofty and spacious studio-apartment, resting in the village of Kington on the English side of the England/Wales border. Restored to provide a lovely holiday home for a couple’s romantic break, this open-plan space contains elegant, antique furnishings, along with all the contemporary essentials. Enjoy relaxing within the sitting area with light flooding in from the large picture windows which offer views of Bradnor Hill. Rustle up a treat in the kitchen area, and serve it at the quaint, wooden dining table as you discuss your plans for the rest of your stay. Recharge your batteries and rest in the king-size bed tucked in the corner of the room, and wake up to enjoy a refreshing shower in the bathroom. Explore the beautiful area of Herefordshire with walks along the River Arrow, meandering over the Shropshire Hills AONB, and crossing the border into Wales to see delightful towns like Llandrindod Wells. The School Room is a perfect spot to unwind when not out and about in Herefordshire. Note: This property is part of a group and can be booked with Ref. 1011538, together sleeping 4 to 6 guests.
