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.

Absolutely lovely local hosts — Terry and Avril were wonderfully welcoming. I was traveling with my elderly mom and they made certain to offer an accessible room, and went out of their way to accommodate her gluten free dietary needs. It offers accommodations similar to many of the B&B properties in Ireland - older, with an old world charm … tea/coffee in the room, honor book bottles of wine available and ample parking. Wonderful hosts pushed the experience to a notch, and we appreciate. Also, by far the best breakfast we had on our trip - the soda bread was fabulous!

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

The Old School House was a great B+B and ticked all the boxes for me. It is immaculately clean, has excellent wifi (code on a plaque just inside the front door) ,my en-suite room was comfortable and had lovely little ‘extras’ such as a wee tub of shortbread biscuits alongside the tea/coffee. Fresh milk available in ‘the snug’ as well as an honesty-bar for beverages. Breakfast delicious and served by Terry and his wife Avril who makes the best wheaten bread I have found in the province. There is also an eclectic collection of books available for all to enjoy. Strongly recommended, I will be back in future and look forward to another relaxing stay and hearty breakfast. Many thanks.

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.

Me and my wife stayed here last night and I can’t fault anything about the place. When we arrived we were made to feel very at home right away. The rooms are large and the bathroom we got is modern and the shower has instant hot water. The beds are unbelievable comfortable which helped get an amazing night sleep. Avril and Terry are incredible hosts who can’t do enough for there guests. There cooked breakfast defiantly lived up to its reputation( the homemade soda bread was the best I’ve ever had) Thanks for the wonderful stay, would recommend to anybody . Take care Adam & Hannah
