Have just spent 3 nights at the Old School with friends and had a wonderful experience. The accommodation has been renovated to an extremely high standard, with great attention to detail. We were all impressed with the manner in which Kate and David have transformed the building, and will certainly return, hopefully in the not too distant future. Kate's banana... More

We just spent 7 days in Mrs Clarke's Classroom at the old school house with a party of five (4 adults and a seven year old). Upon arrival we were greeted by Kate's lovely chickens who later on provided us with fresh eggs almost every day! The accommodation by far exceeded our expectations in every way. The rooms were done... More

We just finished a 4 night break in The Old School and stayed in the 'Staffroom' with our 23 month old son. The only reason we didn't rent one of the classrooms was because of the spiral staircase and our son's inability to foresee danger! Kate showed us one of the classrooms and we would rent one of those next... More

Hi Nicola. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay with us, but I'd like to clarify a few things that you have incorrectly pointed out in your review. The Staffroom does have wifi available in the bedroom. We are about to upgrade this and will be available throughout the accommodation by the end of the year. I provide both a travel... More

We have just spent 4 days at the wonderful 'The Old School' in Carrbridge. On arrival we were met by Kate and her lovely labrador's. The chocolate brownies were the icing on the cake! We stayed in Miss Mackintosh's classroom which was extremely comfortable and thoroughly deserves its 5 star rating. The Old School is in a fantastic, peaceful location... More

We have just spent a week in Miss Mackintosh's classroom and found it to be spotlessly clean with very tasteful decor and furnishings. The setting is spectacular with a sloping garden leading to a private woodland. They have 10 chickens wandering around, and 3 friendly labradors to play with. There are picnic benches in the garden for guests use, which... More

Just back from our third stay at The Old School, and it was as perfect as ever! The accommodation was spotless and the two classrooms have just been awarded their 5 star rating again for another 2 years. The only reason the Staffroom is 4 stars is because it doesn't have a bath. But who needs a bath when you... More

Luxury accommodation indeed- furnished to a very high standard, extremely relaxing and comfortable. A very warm welcome from Kate, showing us round the spotlessly clean and fresh accommodation and kindly providing her home made brownies and own hens' eggs. Excellent bed linen, towels and furnishings. Beautiful, peaceful surroudings and close to all the activies that this area has to offer... More

Thanks for the great review Julie and I am glad you enjoyed your stay with us. We do have wifi available but the signal can be poor due to the thick granite walls of the school building. Everyone is welcome to access the wifi in the house. I have just bought a Wireless Powerline Extender to improve the signal throughout... More

This was our second holiday at The Old School, and this stay managed to be even better than the first with the improvements that Kate and David have made to get their five stars! We were warmly welcomed and enjoyed the freshly made brownies whilst we unpacked. The residents dogs were very patient as they were constantly pestered by our... More
