The Old School Reviews

Claire

We had a wonderful week at the old school. The welcome pack was a lovely touch and the cottage was so well equipped. We had everything we needed. The area is stunning and the locals were so welcoming. We visited the mountain zoo, the vineyard and lots of dog walks. The hot tub was lovely too. Also had a lovely meal at the old stag. Will definitely stay again.

The property was more than I ever imagined! I was so impressed, especially with how equipped the kitchen was! Everything from the DVD wall, the log burner and the hot tub really made our holiday amazing! We would 1000 go back again! The owners were so helpful throughout. The hamper on arrival was the perfect touch with teddies for the children to take home! Thank you so much for the perfect stay!

Michael

An absolutely amazing holiday. The cottage was everything and more. The attention to detail was outstanding, with everyone and everything considered. The owners communication is like nothing weve ever received and really appreciated. The only think I would say requires improvement is some extra kitchen scissors, teaspoons and chopping knives. When thinking the grand scheme of everything thats literally the only thing. Would not hesitate to return and hope anyone who books enjoys their holiday as much as our three generational family . A credit to the owners xx

Steven

A absolutely fantastic property. Not only is it spacious and comfortable in size. The owners have kitted it out with everything that you would need for a week away. It is also set in a beautiful quiet location, that is only a short drive from all North Wales has to offer.

Our extended family of ten had a great week away in this fantastic, spacious accommodation. We enjoyed the games rooms and hot tub as well as exploring the beautiful surrounding area. The house was well equipped, especially the kitchen and communication from the owner was good.

This property is one of those secret places you want to shout about but are ... This property is one of those secret places you want to shout about but are worried other people will book up all the weeks
