Fantastic Break in Kinross
The house and garden are beautiful and a lovely space to be in. The beds are very comfortable and it’s nice and quiet at night so we slept well. The kitchen has everything that you need. It’s also perfect for younger children and there’s even a mud kitchen in the shed. There’s plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants locally and lots to do in the area. We’d definitely recommend staying in the Old School House.

Excellent Accommodation.
The property description provided by Elaine and Ross is very accurate. We stayed for four nights and enjoyed kayaking ( we brought our own ) at Loch Leven which is only a few minutes drive from the premises. It was a great base for exploring the region and well positioned for visiting Stirling, St. Andrews, Perth and Edinburgh. The apartment was spotlessly clean and was very comfortable. Secure parking, a private back garden and the use of the garden shed was much appreciated. Thank you Elaine and Ross for the lovely stay.
