Plan your stay


The Old Schoolhouse is a perfect venue for retreats and residential events. With 7 bedrooms (4 doubles and 3 singles), the house can accommodate up to 11 guests comfortably, alongside 4 shared and one en-suite bathrooms. There are two beautiful reception rooms available to guests for relaxation and socialising, or as a breakout space for one to one or smaller groups.

What makes the house perfect for retreats and group activities is the old schoolroom – light filled and high ceilinged, this room can be used for yoga/pilates/wellbeing classes, as an art studio or for any group activity. If the weather permits, there are a multitude of locations around the garden where guests can enjoy outdoor activities or alfresco meals.

At the heart of The Old Schoolhouse is the kitchen – a large, welcoming space with a table that seats up to 12. Your host Meredith can offer you a fully-hosted package that includes all meals (breakfast, lunch, two course dinner, snacks etc) using local, seasonal produce to suit all dietary requirements. Meredith can also recommend and arrange reservations at some of Scotland’s best restaurants in the local area (see Recommendations page), as well as various activities in the local area, including golf, walking and watersports.

If you prefer to run your retreat/event on a self-catering basis, the house and kitchen are well-equipped for this. If you would like daily cleaning or perhaps the skills of a private chef one evening, this can also be arranged.

Meredith would be delighted to discuss your next retreat/event with you – please get in touch.

The Old School House is filled with warmth, charm and refined elegance. From the moment we arrived, it was easy to feel at home. We were treated to what can only be described as the best food I have had the pleasure of eating, making mealtimes an absolute joy for us and our group! I cannot recommend Meredith and the Old School House more, a truly unique and magical experience with wonderful memories for all of us.
