We took our 2 dogs with us and spent days at the dog friendly beaches near by. It was all so picturesque and peaceful. Would recommend it 100% ##### Michael F. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda G. 1 Sept 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Summer Break It has been a lovely week staying at the Old School. The house is very well presented and has all you need for your stay. The Kitchen is well equipped making it a ready home from home. The beds were very comfortable. It’s just a short drive to local beaches - the only downside is that you can not walk safely from the house to neighbouring towns. We would return to stay here for sure - thank you for having us! ##### Amanda G.
