    An excellent Northern Irish holiday!

    "We very much enjoyed the friendliness of the owners, Terry and Avril. We also thoroughly enjoyed the Ulster Fry breakfasts prepared by Avril. The 'cereal' of Granola served with home grown and prepared rhubarb compote and yogurt was to die for. The room we had was very spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The whole property was spotlessly clean. We recommend The Old Schoolhouse to anyone looking for traditional, Northern Irish hospitality at a very reasonable price. There are a number of rooms on the level with the entrance and Breakfast Room so is ideal for persons with restricted mobility and those who use wheelchairs."

    The breakfast is beautiful! The hosts are considerate and helpful, giving information about local spots as well as showing an interest in their guests. The rooms are full of character and you just feel tension draining as you enter. My friend and I like to come to get away from it all in this beautiful little haven of tranquility!

    It was a little warm in the room and it would have been okay if I could have kept windows open for longer. The reason I could not was because there were no screens to keep bugs out.

    The full Irish breakfast was great. The hosts were very friendly and attentive to the entire breakfast experience. Avril gave us a great restaurant recommendation.

    Terry was very welcoming and helpful. There was fresh milk available for the tea, homemade biscuits, bottles of water in the fridge in the communal lounge and lavender bags on the pillows. The room was spacious, clean and well presented, a lovely place to stay in. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was spacious and just right for us. The breakfast was tasty and served at a convenient time. We were offered maps of the local area. Even though there is not a restaurant on site there is the excellent Poacher's Pocket within easy driving distance.
