Four beautifully designed bedrooms, sleeping up to eight.
Generous living spaces and everything you need for a memorable stay.
The heart of every great holiday is spending time together, and the Dining Room has been designed with exactly that in mind.
A large dining table provides plenty of space for leisurely breakfasts, family lunches and long, unhurried evening meals. Large patio doors fill the room with natural light and open directly onto the terrace for dining outdoors during the warmer months.
The room combines bespoke pieces with carefully chosen decorative details, from custom-made chinoiserie dining chairs and a large-scale natural jute scalloped rug, made especially for the room in India, to designer lighting by Elizabeth Hay Design and Pooky. On the walls, a limited-edition Russell Flint print sits alongside vintage-style botanical artwork from Nordic Style.
Whether you’re preparing a simple breakfast or cooking for the whole family, the Kitchen has been designed to be as practical as it is welcoming.
Handcrafted cabinetry, generous oak worktops and a large range cooker are complemented by custom-made lattice doors, echoing the bespoke bifold doors between the Dining and Sitting Rooms. Textured Spanish tiles bring warmth and character to the hob and splashback, while hand-painted ceramic knobs add another layer of detail to the cabinetry.
Around the room, vintage hand-painted plates sourced from Mexico, Portugal and the UK sit alongside blinds made in Jane Churchill fabric, bringing colour and pattern to this relaxed country kitchen. Fully equipped with modern appliances, it has everything you need for self-catering and dining during your stay.
The Sitting Room has been designed as a comfortable space for reading and unwinding after a day exploring the surrounding countryside.
The original wooden floor, dating from when The Old Schoolhouse was built, provides the backdrop to British cotton and linen ikat upholstery and blinds, echoed in the Dining Room next door. The antique wall sconces have their own history, having come from the previous owner’s London home. Knowing how much she loved this room, we chose to keep them here as a small tribute to her and another layer in the story of the house. A custom-designed, hand-tufted wool rug was made especially for the room, drawing together the colours and pattern of the upholstered armchairs. On cooler evenings, the wood-burning stove provides a cosy focal point, while the library includes a fascinating collection of books, some dating back around 100 years.
At the far end of the room, the games area offers air hockey, table tennis and snooker, alongside a games table and a selection of games for all ages.
Once a library, this cosy room was previously lined from wall to wall with shelves holding thousands of books belonging to the former owner of The Old Schoolhouse. Some of the original shelving has since been repurposed elsewhere in the house, including in the downstairs cloakroom.
Today, deep navy walls, a large modular sofa and oversized beanbag seating create a comfortable retreat for films, reading and quiet evenings. Blinds made from Jane Churchill fabric have been lined with blackout material to create a cinema-room effect, while a bespoke hand-tufted wool rug, designed to cover almost the entire floor, adds warmth and softness underfoot.
A wall-mounted Smart TV completes the space — perfect for a family film night or simply curling up with a book.
The Master Bedroom is a spacious and peaceful retreat, centred around an Emperor-size bed and filled with bespoke details designed especially for the room.
Handmade headboards echo the shape of the custom-made curtain pelmets, while Laura Ashley wallpaper adds pattern and a connection to Welsh design. Bespoke hand-tufted wool rugs soften the large wooden floor, and blackout curtains ensure restful nights. The soft furnishings have been made specifically for the room, from scalloped percale cotton bedding and cotton bed quilts made in India to throw cushions in Colefax & Fowler fabric.
In the ensuite shower room, hand-painted butterfly tiles displayed on the wall shelves have their own connection to the house. Much loved by the previous owner but never used, they have finally found a home as part of The Old Schoolhouse’s next chapter.
Overlooking the garden, The Pink Room is a light and inviting bedroom with a Super King bed and a soft, romantic scheme of pattern and colour.
Laura Ashley wallpaper brings a touch of Welsh design to the room, complemented by blackout curtains and a bespoke hand-tufted wool rug made in India. Handmade headboards echo the shape of the custom-made curtain pelmet, while scalloped percale cotton bedding and a cotton bed quilt, also made in India especially for the room, complete the layered scheme.
Botanical prints by Felicity Buchanan and vintage ballerina pencil drawings by Steve O’Cannon decorate the walls, while the wooden rocking sheep — made with real sheep's wool and once belonging to our daughter when she was little — adds a small piece of our own family history to the room.
Part of the original 1867 building, The Duck Egg Room looks out towards the 15th-century village church across the road, giving this peaceful bedroom a wonderful sense of place.
A generous Super King bed sits against Laura Ashley wallpaper, with handmade headboards, scalloped percale cotton bedding and a bespoke hand-tufted wool rug continuing the considered details found throughout the bedrooms. Blackout curtains ensure restful nights, while a wicker armchair and rattan mirror bring natural texture and warmth to the soft duck-egg scheme.
Calm, comfortable and full of character, it’s a lovely room from which to wake up to views across this historic corner of the village.
Rich in colour and texture, The Navy Room is a cosy and characterful bedroom, with a layered scheme designed to make the space feel warm and inviting.
Laura Ashley wallpaper provides the backdrop, while curtains and throw cushions made from woven fabrics by British designer Ian Mankin bring additional texture and warmth. Scalloped percale cotton bedding, cotton bed quilts custom-made in India and a large bespoke hand-tufted wool rug continue the considered details found throughout the bedrooms, with Pooky lampshades adding a final decorative touch.
Botanical artwork by Felicity Buchanan sits alongside vintage-style prints from Nordic Style — part of the same collection seen in the Dining Room — creating another subtle connection between the rooms of The Old Schoolhouse.
The Family Bathroom combines generous proportions with a calm, contemporary scheme, centred around textured Spanish tiles in twelve subtly different hues.
A large bathtub offers both an overhead and handheld shower, while a generous vanity unit and mirrored wall storage provide plenty of space for everyday essentials.
Toiletries are handmade in Wales using certified organic ingredients and have been carefully chosen to be kind to skin and hair. All are free from animal testing, sulphates, parabens, perfume, propylene glycol and GMOs.
Even the smallest spaces at The Old Schoolhouse have their own story to tell.
The Downstairs Cloakroom combines bold pattern and colour with details that connect it to both the history and design of the house. Scalloped detailing on the painted wood panelling echoes the bespoke bedding upstairs and the pattern of the GP & J Baker wallpaper, while handmade French Carodeco floor tiles, with their Arab-Andalusian-inspired design, complement the wallpaper and bring another layer of character underfoot.
Shelves once used to hold part of the previous owner’s extensive library have been repurposed here, giving them a new life after the former library became the Cinema Room/Snug. They now display the wonderfully weathered original Old Schoolhouse sign alongside an aerial photograph of the house taken more than 20 years ago.
Even the toilet cistern has come full circle: originally installed in this room, it was moved to what is now the Boot Room by the previous owner and has since been returned to its original home.
Designed with walkers, cyclists and families in mind, the Boot Room provides a dedicated space for coats, boots and outdoor equipment after days spent exploring the surrounding countryside.
Bespoke carpentry combines utility with style, finished in a deep green chosen to echo the countryside beyond. Textured Spanish tiles, also used in the Kitchen but in a different colourway, create another subtle connection between the spaces, while a blind in Jane Churchill fabric adds pattern and warmth.
Laundry facilities make longer stays easy, while generous storage helps keep everything organised — whether returning from a muddy walk, a bike ride or a day spent outdoors.
The double-height entrance hall offers a warm welcome from the moment you arrive, with original brickwork dating back to 1867 and a striking staircase celebrating the character and proportions of the original building.
An artist’s impression of The Old Schoolhouse through the ages, created by Sophie Nicoll especially for the house, greets guests on arrival and offers a glimpse into its history. Three large arched mirrors echo the distinctive shape of the church lychgate across the road — a form repeated again in the arched car port on the driveway.
Together, these details introduce the blend of old and new that runs throughout The Old Schoolhouse, celebrating its history. It's the perfect starting point for discovering everything the house has to offer.
Surrounded by peaceful countryside, the private garden is a wonderful place to slow down and enjoy the tranquillity of rural Monmouthshire.
Beneath the tree, a garden bench and fire pit create a secluded spot for reading a book, roasting marshmallows or simply listening to the sounds of nature. Birdsong fills the garden throughout the day, accompanied by the occasional sounds of farm animals from the surrounding countryside.
GGuests have exclusive use of the garden throughout their stay, as well as the private swimming pool during the summer months. Enjoy al fresco meals cooked on the BBQ, a morning coffee in the sunshine or simply find a quiet corner and take in the surroundings.
One of The Old Schoolhouse’s most popular features, the private swimming pool is a peaceful place to swim, unwind and enjoy the surrounding countryside.
Available exclusively to guests from April through September, it’s perfect for an early morning swim or a refreshing dip on a warm afternoon. The pool house is equipped with fridges and plastic glassware, making it easy to keep refreshments conveniently to hand while enjoying time by the water.
Surrounded by the garden and rural landscape beyond, the pool offers another tranquil spot in which to slow down and make the most of a summer stay at The Old Schoolhouse.
Beyond the garden, the field creates a peaceful extension of the grounds, opening up the views and adding to the wonderful sense of space and privacy surrounding The Old Schoolhouse.
A small stream runs along the bottom of the field, while sheep occasionally graze here, adding to the rural character of the setting.
Best enjoyed for a gentle stroll or simply taking in the views, the field offers another peaceful spot from which to appreciate the tranquillity and changing rhythms of the Monmouthshire countryside.
