A Little Home Away from Home

We arrived early and our host, Jane, had just finished cleaning our accommodation so she very kindly let us in early. It was the perfect location for us as we were visiting friends in Nottingham who were only about 45 minutes' drive away. the outlook is rural and lovely. there are several pubs nearby and a Tesco express. Everything we needed was supplied in th kitchen. Jane is a fantastic host, and nothing was a bother for her. We would definitely stay there again and definitely recommend The Old Schoolhouse Loft to any couple visiting the area
