This is the review from our first post lock-down guest: Fantastic area to stay in Cornwall for walks and to visit local attractions. Libby was fantastic, very kind and helpful. Their house is stunning and the gardens are very beautiful and peaceful. The building is basic but perfect. Comfortable bed, shower was great, room was warm and cosy. Parking was great and not an issue and the area was peaceful and very quiet. I can’t thank the hosts enough and I hope to see them again soon.
Dear guests we are very much looking forward to hosting you at The Old School House and sharing the delights of Cornwall. We are open, but things will be rather different as you will expect. We will only be taking bookings for a minimum of two nights. We are also leaving 24hrs between bookings to allow for the rooms to be properly aired and cleaning to take place, this clearly reduces the number of dates available. Do plan ahead and book meals and visits to attraction in advance as numbers are limited and you may not get the date or time you wish.
We will do all we can to make sure you have an enjoyable stay in this quiet and tranquil part of our lovely county of Cornwall.

The Old School House, established as a small B & B in 1992, is a comfortable, Victorian schoolhouse, built in 1838, set in pretty, mature gardens on the edge of the unspoiled moorland village of Cardinham. It was the village school and school house until the current school opened in 1881, since then it has undergone a number of changes until the present owners took it over in 1986.
Sympathetically modernised and updated it now offers a comfortable home and a peaceful and relaxing holiday retreat, off the beaten track, although only 1½ miles from the main A30 trunk road. If it is peace and tranquility you are seeking this is the place for you!
All accommodation is on the ground floor, there are two rooms: a single with a shower and a double with a bath. The double is in the main house with lovely views across the delightful garden. This room has colour TV with Freesat, refreshment tray with complimentary Furniss biscuits, radio alarm, central heating and en-suite bathroom, having a bath with shower over. The Bothy, is a small very pretty, stone and slate building about five yards from the main house offering single occupancy with a shower en-suite; ideal accommodation for one person wanting privacy. There is no TV in this room but all guests are welcome to relax in the Orangery at the end of a busy day enjoying this lovely unspoilt heart of Cornwall. Both rooms have a refreshment tray.
A full English breakfast is served in the Orangery. Local produce is used wherever possible including bacon and sausages, free range eggs, home made bread and preserves.
There is off road parking for visitors and guests are invited to enjoy the gardens and watch the abundant bird life.
There is free wi-fi access.
