Nestled within the tranquil expanse of rural East Riding of Yorkshire stands The Old School House which is a charming Victorian school house dating back to 1857. This historical gem has been restored to offer comfortable accommodation with a quirky exterior as well as interior. Surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of open countryside, this holiday home is a haven for nature enthusiasts, offering unparalleled bird watching, hiking and cycling opportunities. The Coastal Path is only a mile from here.
Step through its doors into a welcoming dining area, complete with a family dining table and an extensive collection of games and DVDs for entertainment. A small utility room with a washing machine adds convenience, while the sunny living room invites relaxation. The interior boasts a quirky charm, with open-plan double bed room shared with the living room, a kitchen featuring a breakfast area to accommodate four. A spacious wet room-style bathroom ensures comfort with handrails within the shower area and next to the toilet, and a heated towel rail.
Ascending to the first floor reveals two further double bedrooms offering far-reaching views towards the River Humber across open countryside, alongside a family bathroom with a corner bath and shower over. Outside, a garden with seating beckons for unwinding amidst nature’s embrace. The garden is surrounded by mature hedges but remains unenclosed due to its location within a conservation area.
For outdoor adventures, the nearby Spurn Point Nature Reserve beckons with its seal colonies and diverse birdlife, while golden beaches await at Easington and Withernsea. Just a short drive away, the vibrant cities of Beverley and Hull offer a myriad of cultural delights, from theatres to The Deep aquarium, and ample shopping opportunities, all within a 30-minute journey. RSPB Bempton Cliffs can be found further up the coast, whilst the stately home of Burton Constable is well worth a visit.
On your return you can enjoy a pre-ordered delicious home-cooked meal lovingly prepared by the owners. In the morning you can treat yourselves to a delicious Full English breakfast in the owners’ private kitchen in the former classroom. Beaches 10 miles. 2 dogs, 2 cats and 2 owners are in residence in the former classrooms.

Not 3 bedrooms

The webpage states that this holiday home has 3 bedrooms, but it does not. It has a double bed in the living room, next to the kitchen and two bedrooms. The photographs all suggest, incorrectly, that there are 3 bedrooms. The photograph of the bed in the living area is titled “double bedroom”, which it most definitely is not. Intentionally or not, the photographs all fail to reveal that there is a double bed in the living room. There are references to this issue in the small print. But in the face of the claim that the holiday home has three bedrooms, and the (intentionally or not) misleading photographs, few people would be alerted to the true situation. This is especially so, since the small print also asserts (“Ascending to the first floor reveals two further double bedrooms ”) that there are three double bedrooms. If you are sharing the home with others and want to go to bed, either the living area and the kitchen (and the bathroom beyond) will be out of use for those others, or they will be walking round you in bed. You are invited to “Step through its doors into a welcoming dining area, complete with a family dining table…... ” From the description you might imagine that the holiday home contains the dining area and the small utility room. It does not. They are outside the entrance door of the holiday home, in an area through which the owners of the house may freely pass
