We had a brilliant week staying at The Old School Gables. It was comfortable, very clean and we settled in immediately. Lots of interesting places to visit and beautiful countryside all around. I would recommend this cottage to anyone. A car is a necessity here....

The cottage has a real home comfort feel about it and that feeling you could only experience on opening the front door :) Would definitely book again x
