Loved the bird song
Wonderful relaxing stay. Well appointed house and responsive and helpful hosts (who promptly responded to a message and dropped off a bit more wood for the fire). We really enjoyed the grounds, birdsong and quiet (no traffic noise) and log burner for the chilly weather. Will recommend to others.

Special birthday getaway
We were instantly relaxed and at home when we walked in the door. It was spacious, light and cosy once we'd started the already prepared fire. The grounds brought out the kid in all of us. So much space to play. A delightful property with delightful hosts. We'll be back.

Delightful, re-purposed country retreat
The beautifully restored old school house exuded warmth and charm. There is plenty of space, with interesting nooks to explore, a modern kitchen, comfortable bedrooms and good bathroom facilities. Though it was a little too cool for us to use the pool, we did enjoy the grounds and the bbq area. All our needs were catered for.

Our family of 6 (dad,mum,17,15,6 and 4) had the best time. The school was exactly as described. Waking to the birds, relaxing in the sun, playing tennis, board games and swimming all made for a great stay. Neil and Liz are great hosts and there are so many lovely touches throughout the school. Best place we've ever stayed!

Perfect stopover!
We loved our stay at Anama - it was the perfect stop with two teenagers after a long drive. They took straight to the tennis court and we were able to relax and pull together a meal in the well equipped kitchen. The whole premises are beautifully restored and decorated and a credit to the owners. A really special place (and we have stayed in many!). We will definitely return:-)

Outstanding property
Our family of 7 with 3 generations aged from 2-85 had a wonderful time . The property was very clean and we couldn’t fault anything . The open space was great for the younger and older family members . And the swimming pool was a great escape from the hot days playing tennis . The strawberry’s kindly given from the owners garden were delicious . We would certainly recommend the property to others .

The accommodation itself is one of our favourites secret getaways, very peaceful and quiet, beautifully decorated, with lots of special touches. Kids always enjoy the abundance of games, and my husband and I love spending our time o the private tennis court. The functioning pool was an additional nice surprise for the whole family this time.

I want to live here forever.
I have been on vacation with my mom and nephew. We have stayed several places in the last few days. We had lots of choices to rest our heads, but as a former school teacher, my dream is to live in a schoolhouse. Liz and Neil allowed me to experience it first hand. Large central room, with all the trappings of a true classroom, chalk and all. Three proper bedroom with all the comforts. A great bath with a large tub and shower. And although we did not use the kitchen, it was one a person could really cook in. Walking the grounds, playing hopscotch, dipping my fingers in the pool, chatting with the sheep were all outside activities I took advantage of. We only stayed one night but I wish it could have been many more.

What a great weekend. Four kids ages 14, 13, 12 and 11 all had a blast swimming, playing tennis, biking and enjoying the country air (not to mention the Rugby World Cup semi finals). Another successful ramble through the Mayfield second hand store with a Jamie Oliver cookbook I've been keeping an eye out for, and a set of 4 China side plates. We're already planning our next trip!

We were very impressed with the premise and grounds. We enjoyes summer for 2 days then wintery conditions. The swimming pool proved very popular during the summery days and the wood fire during the colder ones. The lounge (class room) was just great for a group like ours with 3 couples. The kitchen and BBQ were well appointed and we felt nothing was lacking. The grounds with the magnificent old trees were much enjoyed. This property is a credit to the hosts for maintaining it in shuch good order. Thank you Neil & Liz

There was also outdoor equipment like tennis racquets and scooters for the kids. The log burner kept us very toasty and we had fun playing on the old school tennis court.
