Loved the bird song
Wonderful relaxing stay. Well appointed house and responsive and helpful hosts (who promptly responded to a message and dropped off a bit more wood for the fire). We really enjoyed the grounds, birdsong and quiet (no traffic noise) and log burner for the chilly weather. Will recommend to others.

All was very clean and well laid out. Fantastic kitchen and an even better shower . The most relaxing, enjoyable and quiet location. One could hear the acorns dropping and all day birdsong.. Truely Bliss !!

Special birthday getaway
We were instantly relaxed and at home when we walked in the door. It was spacious, light and cosy once we'd started the already prepared fire. The grounds brought out the kid in all of us. So much space to play. A delightful property with delightful hosts. We'll be back.

Absolutely wonderful
Thank you Neil and Liz! We had the best time staying at the old school. We loved the pool, tennis courts, grounds, outlook, the renovated building, the cut flowers, everything!! We can’t wait to book again and stay longer.

Perfection
This is our second stay at Anama School House and it lived up to our fond memories of the property. Gorgeous, comfortable house with everything you could possibly need. Beautiful gardens to explore and fun to be had in the pool or on the tennis court. Thanks Neil & Liz for sharing your fabulous property!

Delightful, re-purposed country retreat
The beautifully restored old school house exuded warmth and charm. There is plenty of space, with interesting nooks to explore, a modern kitchen, comfortable bedrooms and good bathroom facilities. Though it was a little too cool for us to use the pool, we did enjoy the grounds and the bbq area. All our needs were catered for.

Beautiful, peaceful, more than we expected!
Our family of 6 (dad,mum,17,15,6 and 4) had the best time. The school was exactly as described. Waking to the birds, relaxing in the sun, playing tennis, board games and swimming all made for a great stay. Neil and Liz are great hosts and there are so many lovely touches throughout the school. Best place we've ever stayed!

Perfect stopover!
We loved our stay at Anama - it was the perfect stop with two teenagers after a long drive. They took straight to the tennis court and we were able to relax and pull together a meal in the well equipped kitchen. The whole premises are beautifully restored and decorated and a credit to the owners. A really special place (and we have stayed in many!). We will definitely return:-)

Outstanding property
Our family of 7 with 3 generations aged from 2-85 had a wonderful time . The property was very clean and we couldn’t fault anything . The open space was great for the younger and older family members . And the swimming pool was a great escape from the hot days playing tennis . The strawberry’s kindly given from the owners garden were delicious . We would certainly recommend the property to others .
