Delightful place to stay in Newtownards

Very friendly and helpful hosts, good location, close to Belfast but very rural, comfortable room, fabulous breakfast, plenty of parking and exactly what we hoped it would be.

Countryside night away

Very helpful about late check-in because we couldn't pick up the key earlier. The bed was very comfortable and the car park is spacious.

Unfortunately, this property is a shadow of its former glory days! Good price for a couple of nights & the location is quiet. It's beside Strangford lough so exploring the local area is ideal.

A wonderful B & B

The Old Schoolhouse Inn was one of the nicest places that we have stayed at. It was in a beautiful and quiet area run by a lovely couple who couldn't do enough for us, they looked after us so well. we hope to return there again.

Lovely hospitality. Great breakfast. Relaxing, homely environment in a great rural location for exploring East Co Down, as well as being a short drive from all the attractions of Belfast

Lovely place

The room was good, the restaurant was outstanding, - Expensive yes, But the food was the best I've ever had. The shower in the bathroom could have been better, but not in any way a negative. The staff and the owner were very welcoming.

Short stay at Old School House Inn

We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay - 2 nights. The staff were extremely helpful
David, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Let down

The room was nice. staff pleasant. The main downfall of this place for me was the room service (lack of) I chose this hotel purely because it offered 24 hour room service. Knowing that my work day was going to finish quite late. I passed several hotels closer to where i was working and had chosen to drive an extra 8 miles for the option to eat when i got there. I was told that the website shouldnt say 24 hour room service and there was a Chinese place a few miles away. I ended up opting for my second tesco meal deal of the day. No breakfast either! as it dosent start until 8am. No offer of toast or cereal as a slightly earlier option. Disappointing Also ...please put some sort of light on the steps from the car park, it was pitch black and tripped while walking up them.
