Lovejy hotel. Was made very welcome upon arrival. Was only for one night but I would have been happy to stay longer. ##### Robin Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Rob Feb 18, 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Not good service at all The male manager was completely rude. Threatened to THROW me out and when challenged to do so, backed down. Told me to “stop looking at me like that”. Grow up! The downstairs rooms were ok but the upstairs smelled of damp and there was obvious damp in the stairwell. You have to take your own trash home with you (no bin provided). You MUST eat at his restaurant and you must eat “before you go out”. Yeah he was arrogant! ##### Rob Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul Jun 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Highly recommend a stay A wonderful spot. We were welcomed with open arms. The family run hotel has such a wonderful vibe. Felt at home immediately. We opted to have an evening meal as well. The food was very well cooked, well presented and delicious. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f404130b-e2eb-4f4c-8146-a87abbe3a718-1750220328119.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ad83efcd-0d35-4835-ba87-4f65443dc042-1750220327271.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John Oct 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Although I only stayed one night this was enough to understand that the owners really care for their property and this translates to the service given. They were polite and courteous and even remembered our names which is a nice touch. The food we had for dinner and breakfast was also delicious. ##### John Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Aug 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Delightful character property offering comfortable, peaceful accommodation and seriously good food - delivered to your room if you wish.

Fabulous dinner and really good breakfast ##### David Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karl Jul 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Restful, relaxing stay - a little different What a great find, tucked just slightly off the beaten track, countryside views surrounding this stone former school-house, peaceful relaxing and welcoming stay, Such a friendly couple, Fred will also keep you company if required :) (family pet). The room has all you'll need, Iron, Kettle, hairdryer, En-suite shower room, chairs, desk, TV. Food is great, i make no exaggeration here, spending my working week up and down the country in various hotels and eateries, the portion is just right, very tasty fresh and healthy. The school-house is something a little different, it's nice but not too fancy, a place to relax and sleep, guests are friendly and pricing is very competitive for the area. I enjoyed my stay and hope to be back when over that way. Thanks for the lovely stay Karen. ##### Karl Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Neil Jun 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Out of the way Lovely out of the way place. Fred (the dog) was very welcoming as of course was Karen. Food was excellent, room very comfortable and service fantastic. Definitely will return when I’m the area ##### Neil Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Adrian Dec 16, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice hotel Old school hotel clean friendly, and great dinner and breakfast, lovely staff. ##### Adrian Stayed 1 night in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hamish Aug 11, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### The Schoolhouse Hotel We had an excellent experience at The Schoolhouse Hotel. Wonderful dinner and breakfast!! Outstanding hosts and perfectly quiet and comfortable. What could be better?! ##### Hamish Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### BENNY Jul 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It's challenging to give a rating, because it all depends on what you want. An anodyne Marriott/Hilton experience it ain't, so if that's what you want you will not like it. This is more like a B&B. Charming. Friendly. Memorable. It's not perfect, but all the more lovable for it. ##### BENNY Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Frank Jun 27, 2022 Liked: Room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### A lesson for the Schoolhouse They were still recommending use of out of date COVID policies (2 m distance not even 1 m distance and masks). For the first time ever in any hotel, they also wanted the customer to take away their own rubbish. Also, you had to have breakfast in your room, booked the night before. If anyone did have COVID it would be more likely covering the breakfast remains than old newspapers or trash? Restaurant service unavailable? ##### Frank Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Jun 3, 2021 Disliked: Staff & service Awful attitude from the staff. We did not stay. I booked for an employee and they refused a room without my card, even though I had paid in full for it. Refused to speak on the telephone with me when I spoke to my employee. I had to ring the hotel. Rude, unfriendly and very unwelcoming. I book multiple hotels every week and never have I encountered a hotel with attitudes like this! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Mal Feb 21, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Never again Quirky, time warp or simply run down - you decide. The bar which included the lounge seating was closed. Drinks were supplied to rooms meaning no chance to chat with other guests - or be comfortable. Breakfast was good, evening meal was very odd with Michelin prices. Eat up the road! Easily walkable. Lovely dining room, but cold in February! I was not given the option to review my account, the extras had already been charged to my card. I did get a receipt emailed later. ##### Mal Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ian Feb 21, 2020 Liked: Staff & service Very nice area, great owners Food is excellent Hotel part of the facility is a little tired and needs updating I would stay again because of the owners and the food ##### Ian Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jane Jan 30, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely peaceful location Quiet and peaceful location but close to the M4 junction 16. You get a very friendly welcome and nothing is too much trouble. The rooms could use a little updating but they are warm, good size and clean. Would thoroughly recommend. ##### Jane Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Nov 26, 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We stayed in the room called ‘Gordonstoun’. The room itself was lovely enough, until we were woken up about a dozen times by rats/mice scuffling around in between the walls and ceiling which was pretty loud. I thought they were going to nibble through the wall at one point. When I messaged the owner via Expedia actually during the stay, they acknowledged that there could be a mouse problem and that they would set traps to prevent the issue going forward, no apology was received for the sleepless night. We didn’t stay for the breakfast as we were so tired from the lack of sleep. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### wayne Nov 14, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort lovely comfortable room. The only issue was with the shower which was stuck on hot so had to have a strip wash!! ##### wayne Stayed 1 night in Nov 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Greenway Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Greenway-Hotel-Spa.h520203.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Hotels in Turks and Caicos](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Turks-And-Caicos-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d184-tLuxuryHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Timmins](https://www.expedia.ca/Timmins-Hotels.d4091.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hilton Santa Monica Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hilton-Santa-Monica-Hotel-Suites.h2944.Hotel-Information) > > [The Belfry](https://www.expedia.ca/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Belfry.h3976.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in St. John's](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Johns-Hotels.d181832.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Burgh Island Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingsbridge-Hotels-Burgh-Island-Hotel.h34611055.Hotel-Information) > > [Millcroft](https://www.expedia.ca/Penrith-Hotels-Millcroft.h26994538.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.ca/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London-Gatwick Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Horley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Gatwick-Airport.h16918.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Kingston](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingston-Hotels.d6057821.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Porch House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Porch-House.h4595892.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Stellarton by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Glasgow-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Stellarton.h2066604.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Hull Marina by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hull-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hull-Marina.h10609.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.ca/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Fun Holiday Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Negril-Hotels-Fun-Holiday-Beach-Resort.h3658424.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Dos Playas Faranda Cancun](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Hotel-Dos-Playas-Faranda-Cancun.h976290.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Heathrow Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Slough-Hotels-Heathrow-Windsor-Marriott-Hotel.h3830.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Thunder Bay (YQT) to Minneapolis - St. Paul (MSP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqt/msp/thunder-bay-to-minneapolis) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/las/toronto-to-las-vegas) > > [Air Transat](https://www.expedia.ca/Air-Transat-Flights.cTS.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [WestJet Calgary (YYC) to Toronto (YYZ) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/westjet-from-calgary-intl-to-pearson-intl/ws/yyc/yyz) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Wilmington (ILM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ilm/toronto-to-wilmington) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to George Town (GCM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/gcm/toronto-to-george-town) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Abbotsford (YXX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/yxx/ottawa-to-abbotsford) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Nova Scotia](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Nova-Scotia.d11173.Car-Rental-Destinations)
