I'm out of superlatives to describe the stay here: the attention to detail, the warm welcome from Boris the dog, Lesley and John. The place was in a beautiful location, pristine, well-maintained and comfortable. We didn't want for anything. The breakfasts were delicious and there was plenty of choice. As a vegan, I often find places offer a token gesture but Lesley catered for me perfectly, even the toiletries in the bathroom were suitable! We had use of the beautiful summerhouse in the peaceful, gorgeous garden with great views. We ate our evening takeaway in there and it felt chilled and romantic. I cannot recommend this B&B enough.
We have truly enjoyed our stay at The Old School. Lesley and John are wonderful hosts. The room was exceptionally clean and had all the facilities that one needs during holidays. In addition each day a lovely cake would await us in the fridge. The breakfast was delicious with home made bread, freshly baked by Lesley. She has also booked tables for us in the local pubs/restaurants which was very helpful taking into account that was a long weekend. On top of that we enjoyed wonderful views from the terrace accompanied by hosts' pets Lucy, the cat and Bruce, the dog. We highly recommend this place and will definitely come back.
Well what can I say! What a wonderful warm welcome we were given by Lesley. The room was lovely with lots of extras. Fresh home made short bread was delicious. Fresh milk in the guest fridge daily. An excellent choice at breakfast. Beautiful gardens with lots of areas to sit and relax. The summer house is so comfortable and I so enjoyed listening to Lesley's music. Many birds visited the garden. I could go on and on about the Old School. I highly recommend a stay here.
