What a fantastic stay! Avril and Terry were wonderful hosts. The room and en-suite bath were spacious. The breakfast, and especially Avril’s homemade bread were exceptional! The separate sitting room was comfortable and having beer and wine out of the honesty fridge at our disposal was very convenient. The short drive to Belfast made it a great location. I can’t say enough good things about our 3 night stay here! We will come back!

We had a wonderful stay at The Schoolhouse Inn! Terry and Avril were gracious, friendly hosts and their home is lovely. The pastoral setting was the perfect location for beginning our tour of Ireland.

Thank you for a wonderful stay at the Schoolhouse Inn! The evening we spent there gave each of us impressions of what it would’ve been like to attend as a student —-in such a place! The rooms were very comfortable and met our expectations. We had a very good meal at the Poachers Pocket and the next day went into Belfast for a Black Cab Tour—exceptional.
