The Old School at Howick is a cosy retreat ideal for getting away from it all. It is well located for many of the coastal trails and unspoilt sandy beaches. Quiet and tranquil location which offers a peaceful environment. Wi-fi worked well which was a surprise given the remoteness of the area.

We had an extremely comfortable stay, in very pleasant surroundings, and Anna was most helpful. The school conversion is really imaginative, and Howick is a very good centre for exploring this part of the country. Highly recommended - we're hoping to stay there again.

The Old School is a beautifully decorated, cosy but spacious house in a very peaceful location. The property is well equipped and very close to the Howick Arboretum and Gardens. It is well located for visiting quaint towns and villages nearby and also close to coastal walks. I would definitely recommend this house.
