Description
A luxury 5* one bedroom cottage centrally located in Bridgend on the beautiful Isle of Islay.
HISTORY
The Classroom forms part of a stone built Islay heritage building, An Seann Sgoil ("the old school" in Gaelic) which served the community for over 120 years as Newton Primary School.
Extensive renovation and conversion of the old school building and grounds was completed in 2017 and it now offers a unique collection of luxury 1 and 2 bedroom holiday cottages, ideal for couples and small family groups. Three of the cottages have a 5* Scottish Tourist Board quality assurance award and one is awarded 4* - all of the accommodation has been finished to the same high standard.
INTERIOR
The warm, comfortable and stylish interior is individually furnished with elements of the original building and has underfloor heating throughout. There are panoramic views to enjoy through the large “school” windows and it is equipped with HD Smart TV, free WiFi and a wireless bluetooth HiFi system, as well as a collection of books and games for those occasional lazy days.
The lounge, kitchen and dining area are open plan and fully equipped with a dishwasher, built in oven and microwave, induction hob, fridge, freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. There is also a ground floor cloakroom.
The first floor bedroom has a luxury super king size bed, which can also be made into twin single beds, and an ensuite shower room with stunning contemporary fittings. A good night’s sleep is guaranteed with 2000 pocket sprung mattresses, luxurious Christy’s 100% cotton bedlinen and high quality anti allergenic pillows and duvets.
OUTSIDE
The Classroom at An Seann Sgoil is very privately situated with its own external entrance and enclosed front garden.
Outside there are breathtaking views over the surrounding countryside, with the Paps of Jura in the distance. The well maintained communal gardens include a sizeable lawn, ideal for games, and a large decked seating and al fresco dining area with a wood fired pizza oven and stone built BBQ for guests to enjoy.
There is plenty of off street parking on site, a bike shed and 3 bicycles available for guest use.
