Gregory Richards
Wonderful holiday. Lovely Bach. Very peaceful. We'll come again
Jane H.
The Woodbank Schoolhouse is a very special place in a peaceful, private setting. The house is spacious with lots of windows allowing for lovely light and views of the mountains and garden. Each room has been thoughtfully and creatively decorated. Robyn is a very caring host who has provided everything guests need for a comfortable stay - from fresh flowers in vases to crisp linens on the beds. We really didn't want to leave! We plan to stay again and highly recommend to others.
