  • Good morning, we live locally have builders in and are looking for a few nights for them to get on the kitchen shortly. Two adults and one 16 year old. We have a dog but she will probably stay at home where we will usually be during the day. What is your availability and cost?
    Good morning, Thank you for your enquiry. Is it December you are looking for? I’m afraid we don’t have availability until January 5th now but I assume that’s too late? Best wishes, Elaine

The Old Schoolhouse is located in the charming small town of Kinross, a short walk from the famous Loch Leven Heritage Trail & Loch Shore where you can take a small boat ride to Loch Leven Castle.

Recently converted into 4 light & airy houses, this stylish & comfortable 2 bedroom house includes a private entrance, enclosed secure garden and 2 private parking spaces. Many attractions within the area plus an easy drive to St. Andrews, Edinburgh, Fife's stunning East Neuk, Falkland & Perth to name but a few. The Space - Compact mid terraced house/bungalow within the Old School House building which has direct access via the rear of the building through its own private West facing (fully enclosed & secure) garden. The 2 private car parking spaces are also to the rear of the property. Number of Guests - Please note, the accommodation is suitable for up to 5 guests - we suggest 3/4 adults maximum but suitable for up to 5 guests for families with young children.
Hi, we're the Starkey's, We're experienced hosts who offer a ‘home from home’ in the heart of Scotland - the charming small town of Kinross.
