My wife and i stayed at The Old School House for just the 1 night and would have loved to stay longer. Our hosts were very welcoming and helpful. Our room was immaculately clean and beautifully presented, the many little unique touches made our stay that bit more memorable. The view of the night sky through our roof window on... More

My fiance and I stayed at the Old School Guest House in September 2012 for a weekend. The owners were lovely, and the room was so cosy that it was like staying in someones house! The bed was comfortable, the wardrobe was spacious, it had tea and coffee, fresh milk and even a little bowl of chocolates (my favourite bit).... More

To be honest we weren't expecting much for how cheap this place was but it was delightful! Lovely cosy room, really clean, warm, comes with a mini fridge, tv, tea, coffee, kettle etc and a bathrobe which I was excited about. Lovely shower/bathroom and all the necessities, had a bit of trouble getting the shower to work but that was... More

Stayed here for two nights and had such a lovely stay. The couple who run it our so warm and helpful. Are room was beautiful with lovely touches. The food is so good, everything is pretty much homemade, from the bread to the marmalade at breakfast. Would def recommend this to any one wanting a break away.

My wife and I spent two nights here at the end of October and can now fully understand why it receives all the positive reviews it does. We were welcomed warmly by Maxine who was a mine of information on things to do in the area. Our room was spotlessly clean and impressively decorated. My wife was particularly impressed with... More

Only stayed one night but enjoyed it so much. Our room was beautiful with a large bathroom. Excellent breakfast with homemade bread jam and marmalade. It was lovely to go back and see my old school from 50 years ago!! Maxine was an excellent hostess.

Stayed 2 nights in October and very much enjoyed our stay. Set in a small village on the edge of Dartmoor there is plenty to do and see, whatever the weather. Maxine was an excellent hostess and as mentioned in other reviews the breakfasts were awesome!

This guesthouse is located ideally North of Plymouth in beautiful countryside within the datmoor national Park. The SatNav brought us straight to the road - via a most excellent pub some 50 metres from the guesthouse. Previous comments say it all - this accomodation will not disappoint. Locally sourced produce used at breakfast (the sausages alone are worth the trip),... More
