The squeak of the school gate might be long gone, but the old stone building still stands solid, repurposed now into cosy rooms and camping pods where pupils' voices once echoed.

This one suits couples after a proper bed for the night, families wanting a roof overhead between adventures, or campers testing the waters before committing to canvas. The pods offer a middle ground — your own snug shelter without the faff of tent pegs — while the guest house rooms deliver full comfort when the weather turns. Dog owners should ask ahead to see if four-legged friends can join. It's open all year, so works for winter escapes as much as summer trips.

Facilities aren't detailed, so expect a straightforward setup rather than bells and whistles. Check about campfires when you arrive if you're hoping for an evening around the flames. The vibe feels low-key and practical — a converted village school doing honest hospitality, nothing fancy, just a decent base to sleep and set off exploring from.
