The Old School House Reviews
Read all 6 reviews Read all 6 reviewsThe Old School House is a charming former actual school house! getaway in the Southwest Ireland countryside. Dominick & Lillian are amazing, welcoming hosts at this cozy cottage. The combination of Lillian's pancakes, Dominick's stories, and an in-house concert duet every night make you feel like one of the family. The location is perfect for travels to the Skellig Ring and Ring of Kerry attractions. I would HIGHLY recommend this venue.
Excellent! This was the best experience I've ever had at a B&B. The hosts were great, the food was delicious, and the setting was wonderful. We'll be back the next time we head for Ireland.
The b and b was reasonably priced and bedroom clean. However the shower, despite presence of curtain got water all over floor. Breakfast was disappointing. Irish breakfast too greasy and cutlery wasn't clean. Room for improvement here. We were very happy with friendly staff, reasonable price and the location.
