Stayed for a period of 5 weeks whilst on placement studying for my degree. Could not have been made to feel more welcome by Tim and Vickie. Rooms decorated very nicely, probably the best B&B I have ever stayed in!

What can we say? We enjoyed having you here very much. You were great company and very appreciative. After 5 weeks staying with us you felt like a part of the family- Daisy is still missing you! You are always welcome - even if its just for a cup of tea when you are in the area. Good luck with... More

Thank you so much for your review. You both needed to re charge your batteries and it seems that is exactly what you did. We certainly do have wonderful views and a very peaceful spot. You did, however, bring perfect weather with you which can only add to the natural beauty of this part of Wales. We are always pleased... More

We have now been travelling for 5 weeks in the UK and this would be one of the best B&Bs that we have found. Vickie and Tim were fantastic hosts. Our room and ensuite were extremely well appointed and large. After a cold rainy day it was lovely to return to sit in front of the log fire in the... More

After having trouble getting accom for an event based in Welshpool, I was just about to give up when I came across the Old School. After a email to Vickie booking was sorted. When you find a new place to stay as a group (5) you always have concerns, though after 5mins on arriving those thoughts went out the window.... More

It's a real joy to stay at the Old School B&B. There's a wonderful welcome and the location is outstanding. Close to enjoy Welshpool and the surrounding area, yet tucked away in rolling countryside. Beautiful walks followed by tea round the log burner in the guest sitting room. The breakfast is fabulous and a home cooked dinner if required. Try... More

I have stayed at the Old School B&B four or five times now as I frequently visit nearby Newtown to see my mum and can't always stay with her. This B&B has become my accommodation of choice in the area and I'm sad if when I call Vickie tells me she is booked up. Vickie is an excellent hostess who... More
