Huswell - Oldschool - Exclusive house surrounded by a dyke

Summary:
Next to Gairnshiel Lodge lays Old School, completely surrounded by a dyke.

The building has a rich history, initially functioning as a school, providing education to local communities.

As time passed, it transformed into a cherished holiday retreat, offering relaxation and leisure to those seeking respite. The house has seen generations come and go, each leaving their mark and memories within its walls.

Its enduring legacy continues, providing a warm welcome to all who seek refuge in its natural surroundings.

The Space:
Experience the tranquility of nature with your loved ones in this charming old-school cottage. Nestled amidst lush greenery, this fully private retreat offers you direct access to the beauty of the outdoors, allowing you to immerse yourself between the Scottish Hills.

The cottage offers three cozy rooms, each equipped with a queen-size bed, and an additional room with three single beds. We take pride in providing our guests with high-quality toiletries from Honest Skincare, known for their organic, ethical, and handmade products crafted in the heart of Birmingham.

Other Things to Note:
The owner of this property has partnered with HUSWELL to provide you with a seamless and enjoyable guest experience. While HUSWELL manages the digital rental process, your booking is directly with the owner. Local support, such as cleaning, maintenance, and on-site assistance, is handled by either the owner themselves or a trusted third party appointed by the owner. To ensure the safety and authenticity of both our guests and property owners, we require verification of your reservation through a simple digital pre-check-in process — similar to what you'd experience at a hotel or flight check-in. This process includes basic questions, a rental agreement and acknowledging the house rules, granting you secure and hassle-free access to the property.

Interaction with Guests:
At HUSWELL, we’re committed to providing you with exceptional support throughout your stay. As the facilitator of the digital rental process, our dedicated team is available 24/7 through multiple channels. Our primary method of communication is the booking platform's messaging system, but you can also reach us via HUSWELL’s email, chat, and phone channels. We strive to respond promptly — typically within 10 minutes during business hours and within 60 minutes outside of them. No matter the time or need, we’re here to ensure your stay is as smooth, secure, and stress-free as possible.
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.
