Description from owner
Description
Due to the worldwide Covid 19 pandemic and the associated travel and distancing restrictions, both for our guests and for ourselves, we have decided that we cannot currently accept bookings until the situation stabilises further across Europe. This may take a little time for which we apologise and we ask for your understanding on this. We will update this page as soon as we are able to, but we hope to have the house 'back to 'normal' later this year!! Please keep checking in with us... Thank you.
"The Old School House" is a beautifully renovated village schoolhouse, located amongst the rolling green hills of Asturias in northern Spain. Nestled in a tranquil small valley, above the very popular village of Espinaredo (Famed for rural architecture) "The Old School House" will provide a perfect central, yet tranquil introduction to this often overlooked part of Espana.
Relax in the secluded 2 acre orchard, on the banks of your own crystal clear mountain river, or use the house as a perfect location for enviable holiday combinations such as: Mountain walking, white sandy beaches, bird watching, surfing, kayaking, fishing, skiing, quadding,mountain biking, or shopping/sightseeing in charming places such as Gijon, Oviedo, Picos De Europa, Covadonga etc. The area is full of rural charm,stunning sights, outstanding cities with an enviable culture and is home to many historical pieces of architecture, not to mention an irresistible choice of restaurants, muesums, cider bars, cafes and chic shops. All this is now easy to reach using Brittany Ferries, RyanAir or EasyJet...you'll love it! EasyJet fly into Bilbao and Ryan Air fly into Santander.

“Peace, perfect peace”
Forget the Costa Del Sol with its all day English breakfast, cheap Sangria and packed beaches – this is the real Spain! We chose “The Old School House” for a holiday where we could g… More

Response from the owner Hi NA. Thank you so so much for your kind words so beautifully written. We take our reviews very seriously as they are a true marker of how our guests feel about what we provide, and your comments are most welcome. It was a true pleasure to have you with us, especially as you both obviously fully got the whole 'peaceful' 'off the beaten track' 'no social media' vibe and feel of the place. We are very grateful to you both for your kind patience regarding the water supply hiccup we encountered during your last day or so with us. As we said this was totally beyond our control, and we trust and hope that the small recompense we were happy to provide went some way towards mediating that issue. We would love to have you back again, and are always here to help you enjoy any further exploration plans for our beautiful part of N Spain. Thank you for your custom, we hope to hear from you again very soon.

If you're looking for somewhere away from it all, then this is the place. Set in a valley, the sound of cowbells and a flowing stream is about the most noise you will hear. A short drive to the n… More
