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.
The Old School House offers ground-floor living designed with accessibility at its heart. The bright and airy open-plan layout combines the main living area with a comfortable double bed, ensuring everything you need is accessible on the ground floor. This convenience extends to the modern, fully equipped wet room, which features a level-access shower, a shower seat (on request), and strategically placed grab rails for your peace of mind. To ensure a comfortable stay, tailored to your needs, the bathroom also includes an adjustable toilet seat (on request) and a heated towel rail, blending comfort and warmth within this holiday retreat.
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.

Christine
We had a lovely stay at The Old School House. The owners were friendly and helpful and we met their two little dogs. The owner Kevin told us a lot about the history of the old school and schoolhouse and its renovation. The school house was comfortable and we had everything we needed. The double bed downstairs adjoining the lounge area and downstairs wet room is ideal for less mobile people. We needed to keep our dog in a lead in the garden as it isn’t completely fenced off from the owners garden, not completely secure. The area is so quiet with lovely views over flat countryside, pleasant walks along the lanes with virtually no traffic and there’s the coastal path from Stone Creek. There were wonderful sunsets across the field. There was a bookcase in the communal area filled with books, DVDs and board games. The owner Silke does offer meals but we self catered and drove into Thorpgumbald , about 6 miles , to the Co op although we did use a NISA store In Keyingham about 4 miles away. We found a nice dog friendly pub The Station Hotel in Patringham . Lovely places to visit- Hornsea Mere, Burton Constable Hall, Spurn Point ( no dogs allowed) but a lovely nearby pub The George and Dragon. The Old School House is a place for people who like peace and quiet

This is a beautifully rural tranquil spot with a fabulous quirky house. It’s comfortable and the kitchen is adequately stocked with crockery etc. As a family we enjoyed a long peaceful weekend. My mum who is in a wheelchair was accommodated for well. Definitely a place to go to chill and relax away from the noise and bustle of modern life.

This is a lovely, peaceful location which is great for a relaxing get-away and its located within short drives to the coast and some pictureque villages. Everybody was very friendly and helpful in the locality. The property itself is quirky and very well equipped. The kitchen literally had any applicance you might need and the whole of the accommodation was imacculately clean. Beds and sofas were comfortable and there were DVDs and games available to use. The owners were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. There were a couple of maintanance isues (upstairs shower, kitchen radiator not working) of which the owners are aware. Overall, a very relaxing, peaceful stay.
