The property was well suited for the family in terms of bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen facilities. The house was very impressive, particularly the central staircase, and the grounds gave ample opportunity for the children to play. There was a problem with the main door lock but this was quickly fixed by the owner. Our only criticism was that the lighting was very dim for our liking.

Dream house
We were a group of friends looking for somewhere special to spend the weekend and the old schoolhouse really fit the bill. Such an individual and comfortable property that has been designed beautifully. Lots of communal spaces to sit and catch up. Amazing kitchen, comfortable beds, thoughtful decoration - it really exceeded expectations! Hosts were really helpful with recommendations and we enjoyed a lovely walk around Stumpshaw Fen followed by lunch at the Shoulder of Mutton pub. Will definitely be back, absolutely amazing place
