The Old Schoolhouse Inn

Having visited the Old Schoolhouse Inn a couple of years ago for a fantastic meal we thought a night's stay might be nice. Terry the owner was nice and friendly but the building itself was so dated (nice exterior), the room extremely cramped and generally didn't give off the vibe of a b&b. Although generally clean, the room itself was very dated (see photos) and could honestly do with modernisation. We honestly felt like we had intruded in someone's home, and once in the room it felt like we had been sent there as punishment for being naughty children. To top it off some old woman in the next room was clearing her throat excessively loud every 10 seconds, so loud we could hear it over the TV that we had on for a short time. We stuck it out for 30mins but were so uncomfortable and claustrophobic we couldn't wait to get out of there. £80 wasted however we felt that it would still feel wasted had we stayed the night. I feel bad writing this as the owner seemed nice but I think prospective visitors should be aware of these issues.

We had a night back at the Old School House . lovely warm welcome and the best home cooked breakfast Beautiful rooms peaceful and quiet . If you haven’t visited you must give this place a try Thank you for everything Definitely will visit again

Nice place, very friendly owners,loads o local info. Room was good, large bathroom. Breakfast nice. Beers and wine in the communal fridge which is a nice touch (honesty book) Only issue was water from shower was luke warm, and we should have mentioned it at the time.

A huge thank you to Avril and Terry! The Old Schoolhouse Inn is a truly beautiful place to stay. A great base for travelling into Belfast City. Lovely spacious rooms, delicious breakfast and exceptional service. We will definitely be visiting again. Hannah & Rosaleen

We booked this accommodation based on the reviews and the pictures however this is certainly not what we got. Granted, our host was very nice but the premises itself were very dated, it felt like an old nursing home. Our room was extremely dated, the bathroom was absolutely filthy with hairs all over the bath. The shower head was all mildew and the towels seemed to have a sticky residue. Toilet would barely flush. Windows were dirty and there were no blinds to keep out the light. Room was dusty, glasses were filthy. It was not at all as advertised and we were extremely disappointed. We didn’t even bother with breakfast as we just wanted to leave. I feel what is advertised is certainly not what we got which is such a shame as we had been recommending this lovely place that we found to friends but based on our experience they have since cancelled. I gave it 2 stars as our host was very nice and the bed was comfortable but I definitely would not return. I would really recommend that the social media of this establishment is updated to truly reflect the all accommodation provided. We thought we would be staying in the room as advertised with the beautiful updated bathroom.

We had a wonderful time. Avril and her husband were most courteous and friendly. We would love to come back someday. Only suggestion please add variety to breakfast menu. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
