    shower interference
    inadequate breakfast

    the stay was almost bearable, if only the shower didn’t hit the sink every time I opened the door, and why was there no hot breakfast option? It's as if they expect us to boil water like it’s the stone age. I could've given a good review but just couldn't. Very disappointing indeed.

    spacious room
    helpful host
    tight parking

    Had a lovely stay at The Old School House! The spacious room felt like a mini apartment, and I loved the fridge and microwave for convenience. Martin was super friendly, making check-in a breeze. Just wish the parking was a tad easier at night.

    delicious breakfast
    cozy kitchen
    cold room
    hot water issue

    If you're a foodie, you'll love the delicious breakfast spread Martin prepared, perfect for grazing. Plus, the place boasts a cozy little kitchen with all the essentials for whipping up snacks. The area is delightfully quiet too, making it a peaceful retreat.

    While the room was a bit chilly upon arrival and the heater struggled to warm it up, it didn't dampen our spirits too much. We missed out on hot water during a frosty night, but we found our stay charming nonetheless with Martin's warm hospitality.

    clean bedding
    unique charm
    poor amenities

    Bedding stayed clean throughout the stay. The location offers a unique charm away from typical tourist traps.

    The shower posed a problem for taller guests. Poorly placed light switches often led to wrong turns in the dark. There was no window to crack for fresh air, except an awkward small one in the bathroom. Breakfast options fell short of expectations with DIY processes for warm meals.

    friendly hosts
    cozy atmosphere
    cold room
    rusty radiator
    water pooling

    Charming stay with friendly hosts and a cozy atmosphere. Breakfast was pleasantly varied, including some delightful Thai dishes. the room was uncomfortably cold despite a new heater, and the shower room was even colder with a rusty radiator not working. Water had pooled under the linoleum, which was a shame given the otherwise delightful character of the property.

    A Cozy Retreat with Charming Amenities

    Enjoyed my stay in a spacious room with good amenities like the fridge and microwave. The delightful breakfast essentials made mornings easier. be cautious about the mobile signal. sitting in the driveway helped. A flashlight is handy for nighttime returns due to dim lighting.

    parking issue

    Lovely cozy atmosphere with welcoming hosts and delightful breakfast essentials (the homemade muffins were a treat! ). The location is great, close to charming spots like historic colleges and scenic walks.

    Parking could be improved, especially during busy evenings.

    welcoming hosts
    difficult parking

    The hosts are incredibly welcoming, making check-in a smooth process. The room offers a well-equipped kitchenette and great WiFi, allowing for a comfortable stay. the massive bedside TV enhances the in-room experience.

    Parking proved a bit tricky during the nighttime hours, which could be improved.
