My wife and I stayed a night over Easter weekend attending a wedding reception nearby. We received a warm welcome and the kettle was on quicker then we could make our way to the History room. The room itself was very generously proportioned with a lovely en suite. Had a good blether with Liz by the wood burning stove whilst... More

From reading the reviews on here I felt that my partner and I would have a great mini break when staying with Mike and Liz for a friend's wedding close by. We walked in from a substantial drive to a very friendly welcome from Mike and the gorgeous wood burner in the lounge area. We were shown to the Geography... More

A really characterful place to stay, with lots of personality & charm. Fabulous big room, with four-poster bed and an amazing ensuite with a gorgeous bathtub. Dinner and breakfast were delicious, and Mike & Liz did everything they could to make our stay a comfortable one !

We had two nights stay with Mike and Liz. Over for a family wedding. Rooms where large, clean and well appointed. Homely sitting room with stove, books, dvds and games. Free Wifi available. We had an evening meal, which was home-cooked and very tasty. Both breakfasts where great and plentiful. Nothing was too much trouble, Mike even helped us with... More

We stayed here for one night on a stopover to the ferry to Arran. We had such a warm welcome - "The kettles on", just what was needed after a long drive. The bedrooms and bathrooms were wonderful - very large, modern decor, spotlessly clean. There was a lovely guest lounge area where we could sit and play games. Mike... More

What a little gem this place is! Wonderful hosts, outstanding rooms, great evening meal and really nice breakfast with very tasty sausages and bacon all beautifully cooked by Mike himself. A wonderful experience especially for me as it was my old workplace at one time. What a transformation. Just a shame it was only 1 night but a nice birthday... More

We met my son and daughter-in-law here when they were cycling from Lands End to John O'Groats. Even before we left home Mike had contacted us about having an evening meal together. We were warmly welcomed and nothing was too much trouble for Mike and Liz. The meal was excellent and the rooms so spacious and comfortable. The location is... More

The best B&B we've stayed, anywhere. Lovely spacious room, full of light. Big comfy bed, immaculate bathroom with separate bath and shower and a bath mat for each. Great attention to the details that make all the difference eg fresh fruit bowl for guests, DVDs to borrow, umbrellas, internet, boxes of tissues, fat pillows, good towels. Tasty home cooking for...

We stayed at The Old School for one night in May 2012 and were really impressed! The bedroom we stayed in was huge; well appointed in a classy but understated way. It had the usual tea and coffee making facilities, complete with biscuits and bottles of water. The bathroom was lovely, with a big free-standing bath and lovely separate shower... More
