Guests say
School Lodge is a charming, compact retreat ideal for couples and dog owners seeking a peaceful countryside escape. Guests praise the secure private garden, relaxing hot tub, and proximity to scenic walks and the welcoming local pub. The property is generally clean and cosy, with friendly hosts who are responsive and helpful. While some mention the bed and sofa could be more comfortable and note minor maintenance issues, the overall experience is positive, with many guests eager to return.
Most guests found the lodge clean and tidy on arrival, with several specifically mentioning spotless conditions. However, a few reviews noted issues such as pet hair on the sofa and dirty kitchen utilities, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, beautiful countryside, and proximity to local attractions and the Boyne Arms pub. Guests appreciate the peaceful setting and easy access to walks and nearby towns.
Guests find the lodge cosy and warm, but several mention the bed being small or uncomfortable, especially for taller guests, and the sofa needing improvement. Despite this, many still enjoyed their stay and found the space suitable for short breaks.
The hot tub and secure garden are standout features, and the kitchen is generally well-equipped. Some guests noted minor issues such as a small fridge, lack of oven, rickety garden furniture, and unclear instructions for appliances, but these did not significantly detract from the overall experience.
Many guests appreciated thoughtful touches such as welcome drinks, chocolates, dog treats, and prompt communication from the hosts. Please note that these gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

We had a fabulous time here . It was the perfect country retreat for us with our beautiful young black lab. The enclosed garden was amazing. The hot tub a real bonus . You have everything you need in the School Lodge and it was really warm and cosy. There was a ******** hedgehog that visited every evening to eat the pears that had fallen . Plenty of places to walk and visit. It was such a special time . We have come back refreshed. Oh and the Sunday lunch at the Boyne Arms is a must . Thank you for giving us the break we needed .

This was an excellent little cottage, it has everything you need. I wasn't expecting it to have a freezer as well as a fridge, but both were available. The outside has been updated since the pictures in the listing, and looks fantastic. The tv and wifi worked well, the hot tub was fantastic, I had no issues in using it. There are plenty of local shops for anything you might need. I would absolutely recommend staying here.
