Shared a twin room with cousin while attending family wedding in Hawkshead. House is quaint; accommodation is excellent; welcome was wonderful with tea/coffee and scones on arrival; breakfast very fresh with wide choice. Would certainly choose again if visiting Hawkshead. More

My first and hopefully not my last stay at the Old School House was for 2 nights in April. Both Dave and Sarah were wonderful hosts, tea and homemade cake on arrival, a lovely welcome after a 6 hour drive. The location is stunning, my room tasteful, comfortable and also spotlessly clean. Both nights sleep were undisturbed and breakfast was... More

We had a wonderful stay at The Old Schoolhouse over the Easter weekend. Sarah and David are attentive and welcoming hosts. Our room was comfortable and spacious with a lovely view. I liked that there was no TV in the bedroom. Our personal washroom - shower/ WC was in the next room. Everywhere was spotless. We loved the home-made cakes!... More

David and Sarah were most welcoming without being in any way obtrusive.They clearly understand the Hospitality business. Home made cookies, fresh tea and coffee on arrival were very enjoyable as was the sherry prior to going out for our evening meal, and the port on return! The building has a stately yet homely feel to it,the dining room being particularly... More

We stayed here in early march for 2 nights and only wished we could have stayed longer. David and Sarah were excellent hosts, encouraging us to make ourselves at home and it did feel like a home from home. The room was lovely, spotless and overlooking the fields and hills. Lovely touches such as tea and coffee and cake on... More
