Guests say
The Old School House is a spacious and comfortable property with a rich history and charming features. Guests appreciate the attentive hosts, the immaculate presentation, and the thoughtful touches. The hot tub and proximity to the Boyne Arms pub are highlights. While some guests mention issues with bed comfort and hot tub maintenance, the overall experience is positive, with the property's character and location being particularly praised.
The property is generally described as clean and well-presented. One review mentioned a hot tub cleanliness issue, but this seems to be an isolated incident rather than a trend.
The location is consistently praised for its proximity to local attractions and the Boyne Arms pub. Surrounded by nature, it is deemed perfect by reviewers.
Comfort receives mixed reviews. While the property is described as spacious and comfortable overall, there are several complaints about the beds being uncomfortable and the property being chilly during cold weather.
Facilities like the hot tub and kitchen are appreciated, but there are some concerns about maintenance, such as the hot tub's fire heating system and a broken bed. The lack of towels, despite being mentioned in the listing, also affects this score.
While guests mention thoughtful touches like dog treats and a ready hot tub, there is inconsistency with the provision of welcome gifts and breakfast trays, and these are not guaranteed. Due to the lack of consistent references to gifts, a score cannot be provided.

The Old School House is a truly stunning property, steeped in history, with gorgeous features that make it feel uniquely special. From the moment of arrival, the place was immaculately presented, and our hosts went above and beyond to make us feel completely welcome—no detail was overlooked, from thoughtful touches like dog treats to having the hot tub ready for us. The location couldn’t be more perfect, surrounded by fields and nature, with charming spots like Ironbridge and Ludlow just a short drive away. For a delicious meal out, don’t miss the Boyne Arms just across the road—the food and locals are excellent. We enjoyed every moment and can’t wait to return!
