We really enjoyed our week at the school house, it's a great spacious house and our son loved the games room.We encountered a few problems but the owner was quick to respond and help. Our only suggestion would be for more cutlery and crockery in the kitchen as there was a lot of washing up and some heat proof mats for the wooden counter top.

We had a really lovely stay. The house is alot bigger then it looks on the pictures. It also has a utility room. The beds are very comfortable. The games room has a pool table, table tennis and a dart board. Plus balls for kicking about. Its a very cosy and warm house. With great amenities. The Only problem I could say, it needs bigger door mats. We had constant rain the week we stayed, I was contstantly mopping the wet floors. I would definitely recommend this home and hopefully I will be back. Thank you
