Everything was perfect: the house, much bigger than on the pictures, the location, the enclosed garden for our « little polar bear », the four rooms and three bathrooms…

We were getting married at the Rhinns Hall and staying in the Old School House was absolutely perfect for this. We were so close to the hall that it made all wedding logistics so much easier and we acted like a hub for all our friends and family. The house was big but cosy and the perfect place to stay. Thank you for accommodating us on our special day.

Never has school seemed so enchanting.This conversion gets an A+ for interior design and comfort. The 6 of us loved being there, walking to the Seafood Shack and local pub. It was a lovely base camp for trips to distilleries. The place resonates with happiness and beautiful views.
