A great B&B to stay at.

Great B&B to stay at. USB sockets in the bedside lamps; tea and coffee in the room; coffee machine, fridge and microwave in the guest lounge; plenty of choice for breakfast; a fan in the room was most welcome; shampoo, conditioner and body wash provided as well as lovely towels and face cloths.

We decided at the last minute to break our journey on a bank-holiday weekend, from West Midlands to the East End of London and booked 'The Old School House Rooms' on chance and we were so pleased that we found them. It would be difficult to find fault with any aspect of the stay particularly for the price. Thoroughly recommend
