We stayed at the Old School House Gortin from September 28 to Oct 5. 2019..
We had the most wonderful stay at the old school house. The property looks exactly like the photos. We came from Laguna Beach and Scottsdale Arizona to Gortin to visit our family in plumbridge ,so the location was perfect for our family.
There was plenty of space in the school yard for our two year old boy to play on his tractor ....Mr Dick the owner had a gate put in so it would be safe for him too. He came by to welcome us. The school House is beautiful, very clean and spacious. Perfect location to Auld cafe, grocery store, pharmacy pub..we had a great time on Monday night with our little fellow watching the sheep in the village. We can’t wait to come back again to the Old School House...for sure 10 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️...grandma. Grandson and mommy ..
