Amazing base and lovely location
Guests say that The Old School in Holmrook, UK, acts an amazing base for them to visit Scafell Pike and the other walks in the area. The B&B is near the Wastwater and close to Ravenglass steam railway. Guests say that it is nice walking getaway for them to enjoy a relaxing break. Many restaurants are within a short drive, which guests find convenient. They say the area around the place is fantastic as there are no large crowds or traffic jams anywhere despite the property's central location.
positive:
Great hospitality; stupendous breakfast
Many guests
speak highly about the hosts who are kind, generous and extremely helpful. They
are exceptionably hospitable and run a highly well maintained place. The
welcome is warm and guests are treated to homemade cakes and a glass of sloe
gin on arrival. After a day's vigorous walking, guests say it is nice to come
back to a home away from home. The breakfast is stupendous with top quality
food served and with enormous portions.
positive:
Comfortable rooms; delightful treats
The rooms
are well appointed and comfortable. Guests say that there are numerous special
touches and attention to details. Guests appreciate that treats like homemade
pastries are left in the rooms to be enjoyed with their cup of tea. Chocolate
covered strawberries are another lovely treat provided in the rooms. Guests say
that a re-visit to the B&B is definitely on their cards.
