Accommodation was perfect. Old charming school home full of character. Plenty of space and nice gardens. Only issue is the driveway is hard to find and get out of but that aside there were no issues.

Christmas at Ewes Schoolhouse was fantastic! You never know quite what it will be like when you arrive, but the cottage was better than we could have imagined and the Christmas decorations were amazing. The location is just beautiful to get away from it all and there are lots of beautiful walks to take the family and dog. A huge thank you to the host and would highly recommend!
Lovely house, clean and comfy. Andrew was very friendly and helpful
