The homemade bread was delicious and the eggs were very yummy. Clean and tidy and perfect spot just far enough out of town to be peaceful. Really enjoyed the stay

"Exceptional unique property"

10.0

Handy to town, sooo quiet! The fresh bread, was delish! Spreads provided! The owners have thought of everything, eggs in the fridge ( we were going to have poached eggs on toast, but had such a comfy stay we slept in so ran out of time. Guest amenities were lovely! The bodywash was a beautiful scent. The flowers in the bathroom... the list goes on!

Nothing we didn't like, we wish we had more time

Absolutely lovely and unique place to stay. Hosts were great, and even left a fresh loaf of bread plus butter for us, with fresh eggs in the fridge and fresh-cut flowers in the bathroom and bedroom. We loved the history of the school house too, and would happily stay there again.
