Difficult to leave. I hope to be back soon and to stay longer next time.

It was perfect - warm and cosy, beautiful setting, lovely breakfast and great facilities. I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with Nic about my family connections to the area.

Very relaxing with everything that we needed .

A perfect location to relax . The little red schoolhouse was clean and comfortable and well equipped. The history of the school and the farm added to the experience as did the pet lamb and the chickens paying us a visit.

All good

wonderful rural setting with great view, excellent hosts providing every amenity you could hope for. Enjoyed it immensel

A unique setting, historical building, large outdoor area, comfortable, clean, stylish, welcoming hot, lots of extra touches

A little challenging if you didn’t have a GPS to find it. A few old pair of discarded gumboots for international travellers would be a wonderful touch when one travels light & the weather is compromised.

Little Red Schoolhouse and the Hosts are warm and charming ;I wish we had stayed longer.

The kitchen area was so well done with efficiency and charm. There were cereal and coffee choices, lovely bread for toast with choices of condiments. We could have searched for eggs in the henhouse or picked veggies from the garden. I loved that the Schoolhouse was a lovely red and the interior red door had a chalkboard with the name. We loved driving the country roads to get there.

The heavy rain in the afternoon could have stayed away LOL

Wonderful place, next time will stay longer!

Lovely location - rural so nice & private, picturesque & historic schoolhouse. All amenities there including stove hob, kettle & toaster, tea, coffee & milk, breakfast makings, etc. Particularly enjoyed the little "Easter Eggs" like the child's school desk as a bedside table & school ruler forming part of the skirting board - delightful! Spacious separate bathroom was great & outdoor seating on the deck was wonderful to enjoy the sunset & company from the chickens!

a warm welcome by the host and four beautiful brown hens - what’s not to like?

a cosy, comfy and unique historical cottage with a sunny verandah, freshly-laid eggs, beautiful highland walks, and silent nights :)

The Little Red School House was a wonderfully historic and very comfortable place to stay.

We loved staying in what was originally a school house. It has been very nicely converted into a bed and breakfast. It was warm and comfortable and charmingly decorated with school-room touches.

Great Stay in a lovely House surrounded by the great outdoors, peaceful and quiet. The natural environment, the lovely red school house and the animals make our stay unique and unforgettable, especially Roger the Goat.

Everything was top notch!

A must stay

We loved everything about the Little Red School House! It is worth the drive off the beaten track. Incredible attention to detail both inside and outside, you can tell a lot of thought has been put into this place by the owners. Lovely little touches everywhere and everything you could need to make your stay comfortable. We met Nic and she is lovely and was very welcoming. We loved the visits from the hens, and really enjoyed their fresh eggs for breakfast, and we loved visiting Roger the goat (and he loved the bread we gave him!). My partner loved the old farm machinery on the grounds. We will be back for sure. Such a peaceful, relaxing spot.

Comfy bed.

Didn't realise how far off the beaten track it was and am glad we got there when it was still light. I wouldn't say I didn't like it but it is something to be aware of.

Quiet stay in a beautiful part of the country

A perfectly cute and we'll set up cottage, ideal for an overnight stay (or two) for a couple. The cottage is well sited for sun and set in a very scenic part of the country. We loved the views on the farm walk. Highly recommended.

It was a little chilly overnight (given time of year) but the heaters made a big difference and we slept well.
