“Fine accommodation and service in a delightful rural setting”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 25, 2012

Country lovers would particularly like this with dogs and horses in evidence (but not obtrusive) and dogs were made welcome. Ely just a fifteen minute drive away and top... More

Nice B&B in a small quiet village but only a few miles from Ely. Very pleasant host that will look after all of your needs. Wifi available (cost 3 pounds), clean, comfortable, nice surroundings and breakfast.

“A home from home with a very friendly welcome”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 4, 2011

Thanks Doris for a wonderful stay - your friendly welcome made it feel like a home from home, very relaxed and just the thing for a work trip away, your B&B was a pleasure to come back to at the end of busy days - hope to see you again some time, and thanks for the packed breakfasts and everything!

“Lovely clean room, comfortable bed, friendly staff, great food!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 4, 2011

We had a lovely clean room with modern furnishings. The beds were comfortable and the tv in our room was great. There is also a lovely spacious bathroom, which was clean and furnished very nicely. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great, with both hot and cold options. We both enjoyed the food and felt full afterwards... More

Thank you so much for your kind review. I am always trying to provide the best service to guests of The Old School B&B, according to their individual needs, so I am very pleased you enjoyed your stay. I very much enjoyed the conversation we had, sparked by the name of the wireless network. More
