The Old School offers luxurious and comfortable surroundings with many of the services of a small hotel or country house. Built in 1875, many of the building's historic features such as the exposed beams and bell tower have been retained.
All rooms at The Old School House are large and benefit from central heating and king-size beds. The walls are decorated with original art works. There is free Wi-Fi throughout and free private parking on site.
Breakfast is served every morning, and includes homemade bread, freshly baked each day, and a selection of homemade conserves and marmalade. Guests can also enjoy evening dinner. This must be booked in advance.
The Old School House is on Dartmoor National Park and only a few minutes’ drive from the ancient stannery town of Tavistock, the naval city of Plymouth, Yelverton and Derriford. Horrabridge has 2 pubs, a grocery store, post office, bakery and an award-winning fish and chip shop.
