The house was very comfy and well maintained and Gary was the perfect host and easily contactable if needed.There was everything that you could need at the house,there was even a pool table ,which became our regular evening entertainment.I would recommend a stay here ,itâs like a home away from home.

The house was very clean and comfortable. Having so many living spaces was ideal for our group of 8 aged 18yrs to 72yrs it meant we could come together and also have our own spaces too. The kitchen is very well equipped and we lacked nothing. The outdoor space is exceptional with such a huge garden- lots of badminton and football played! The expansive vista to experience awe inspiring sunsets and moonrises and watch and hear the flocks of birds from the estuary are a memory we will never forget. Gary was very responsive to any requests and a great host. Schoolhill is Highly recommended.
