The sleeping quarters are very cosy, with a separate bathroom and living room containing everything you need for a relaxed stay, best of all a very comfortable bed. Next morning breakfast was sumptuous, cooked to perfection by Lisa who is a super host. L’oasis a special place ideally situated for me as a stopover between Kent and Scotland. My only regret is that I didn’t get to meet Gordon. ##### Yann Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter Oct 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Up there amongst the best ! A lovely and tasteful conversion of an old school house by the current owners Chris and Lisa who made us welcome on first arrival! Entering through a gorgeous large porch into the wonderfully large yet cosy hall furnished with comfortable chesterfield and fireside chairs and kept toasty via a large attractive log burner! Lisa our host was attentive but not intrusive and made us feel comfortable and every wish catered for through out our 2 day visit including the delicious full English Lisa cooked both mornings a breakfast to behold! We had a wonderful stay at the Lanehead Old School and when it was time for us to leave we felt we had made a friend in Lisa and a place we will definitely be returning to when the occasion allows us ! ##### Peter Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda Aug 15, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing & Elite. Breakfast fit for Royalty An amazing place to stay, with spectacular views and steeped in local history. Lisa will welcome you with a great big smile and goes above and beyond to make your stay perfect. Nothing is too much to ask for and everything you need and more is provided.It has all the mod cons. We enjoyed a luxurious stay, relaxed in the lounge in front of the roaring stove fire, whilst enjoying the stunning views and watching the huge tv. Beds are super comfy and provided a great nights sleep. Breakfast is a magnificent spread of beverages, cereals, fruit, yoghurt, croissants, homemade preserves, toast and a full English! All high quality ingredients and locally sourced. It tasted delicious! Fit for Royalty! We stayed just one night and didn’t want to leave! We will be going back again. Highly recommended, a perfect gem with an amazing host. A great base for exploring the surrounding area. ##### Amanda Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### G Jun 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic hospitality, gorgeous venue From the minute we arrived, Lisa couldn't have done more for us. We felt completely catered for and had a wonderful stay. The school house has been renovated so beautifully and we loved hearing about and seeing the history of it. The bed was extremely comfy and we slept brilliantly, waking to a gorgeous home-coked breakfast. The views from the school house were beautiful in every direction and we felt perfectly detached from the rest of the world (but with 4G signal - good mix!). It was also great to meet Gordon, the resident wolfhound, as we played pool as a family before we went to bed. Such a lovely evening and morning! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/CE213820BDAAC19192369ABA4A4A5FC8ACA04B211718052175450.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C26D02B7155480A188DD5CDE1B76C472E9E1C57C1718052176062.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9884E6314979A20D7A6DD8389C5F84CE3CFCDBE31718052175752.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### G Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alan Aug 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Exceptional with a breakfast to die for!
