The School Room, The School House, The Square, Kington, Herefordshire, HR5 3BA

After reading the reviews this seemed a lively place to stay, but our experience was different, We arrived on the Friday evening and it was not as advertised on sykes website, with scaffolding on the building, so couldnt access the garden that is pictured on Sykes website. The lady advised us when we arrived about scaffolding and building work, but we should have been advised of this before we arrived.

Shower had body hair in, cups and teapot dirty needed a good bleach, we had to wash cutlery also as that was not clean. stains on the sofa couches ( that tbh were just couches with an arm that should fold down but didn't stay down and extremely uncomfortable.

When we spoke to the owner, she explained that it was because of the cleaner, however the owner lived on site, she should really be checking everything before visitors arrive. Needless to sat we left.

We have just returned from our stay at The school room and wanted to write a review as my husband, son and I had a lovely time staying here. We had the most relaxing time and found it such a peaceful, tranquil location. We had the best nights sleep in a long time. It?s a truly stunning apartment and to be honest we all fell in love with the place.

Our family of four had a wonderful stay in this cosy and homely room. Everything in one large square open plan space, separated by a couple of cast iron pillars, each corner has its function. Everyone can spread out and still feel cosy regardless of which corner they are in. The owners live upstairs and are ever so friendly and helpful, we felt very welcome, with a few fun touches for the children as well. Everything worked, with equipment like the hob and oven being to a very high standard. The (blue) front door is literally a doorstep to Offa's Dyke path which passes along the street outside, and for cyclists there are several possible routes which are not too hilly or busy with traffic. With Kington being right on the border with Wales, there is stunningly beautiful if different landscapes on either side of the border: the gentle Herefordshire hills are a patchwork quilt of yellows and greens, while the more rugged side in Wales offers dramatically steep hills. During our stay we also enjoyed paddling and swimming in several local rivers, it really is a wonderful area!

The whole process of booking, communication, directions to the property and key collection went very smoothly. Although one room, the accommodation is very spacious & indeed bigger than many apartments, with comfortable furniture. The kitchen is very well equipped, the WiFi excellent, the bed comfortable, cable TV and lots of books and games. The hosts were friendly but not intrusive. We would happily recommended the property to others.,

Stayed here with two friends for a as we were attending a wedding in Shobden. What an absolute gem of a place. Very clean and comfortable. Well equipped. Delightful. The owners were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. We left early to return home so missed being able to thank them. Will definitely return. Such a lovely part of the country and Kington was great.

We had a lovely two weeks in the Schoolroom. It was really comfortable and spacious. A real home from home. Every thing we needed. The kitchen was well equipped too. We went on some really lovely walks around the area. A lovely relaxing holiday.

I loved everything about this venue. The lovely little courtyard, the views from the large Georgian windows across the hills in the one direction and towards the village square from the other. It was comfortable, very well equipped and so central to everything and everywhere. Walking into the town was easy, the public transport was accessible too and the owner was very helpful and friendly.There were so many interesting places to visit, all within a manageable distance. Less than an hour away. Hay-on-Wye. Hereford, Ludlow and of course right on the border w

My wife and I loved this converted school room. Spacious main area with purpose-built little bathroom incorporated in one corner of the large room.

We especially loved the 2 large sofas where we could both stretch out luxuriously after a stiff walk in the surrounding hills.

The place was beautifully warm.

Kitchen generally well equipped, though a few half pint tumblers would have come in useful (there were only small or pint sized glasses).

This is not a criticism, but the property only having one room means the first person up in the morning has to be very

The School Room was a pleasant,comfortable and very well-equipped place to stay. It was very close to shops, restaurants and pubs in Kington. Kington itself is a good centre for exploring Herefordshire and Mid-Wales, with good walks nearby. A very peaceful and relaxing place and a great change from our usual city life.
