OUTSIDE
The Old School is set back from the road with a gravel driving giving ample place for up to five cars (in case of five couples coming for a celebration weekend) and is surrounded by private gardens with a patio, lawns, well-established flower beds, bushes and trees. There’s a large pond surrounded by a fence but guests with children must be aware of this.

The door to the annexe is conveniently next to the back door of the house so it’s literally a couple of steps from the house but it is not interconnected internally, therefore unsuitable for younger unaccompanied children.

Whilst there's a ground floor bedroom and a wet room in the house, and a ground floor bedroom with en-suite in the annexe which could be helpful for guests with a mobility issue, please be aware that the drive is gravel so might be difficult to navigate.
