The choice is yours - Bed & Breakfast or Self-Catering accommodation at this delightful historic house, built of mellow local stone, set in the beautiful South Warwickshire village of Tredington.

Once the local school nestling in the heart of the village of Tredington, now designated a conservation area, The Old School has now been lovingly restored and converted to stunning accommodation by the present owners into a warm and welcoming home, complete with up to the minute guest accommodation. Tredington is renowned for its beautiful church with its lofty spire, ancient mills, barns, and farmsteads, now mostly preserved and converted into wonderful character homes. The church houses the village stocks, and dates back to Norman and Saxon times. All are peacefully set amidst well manicured village greens.

The Cotswold towns of Moreton-in-Marsh and Chipping Campden are 10 minutes away in one direction, and Stow-on-the-Wold 15 minutes, whilst Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon is 10 minutes in the other. Historic Warwick and Henley in Arden are half an hour away, as are Bourton on the Water, The Slaughters and The Swells, deep in the heart of the Cotswolds. Thus The Old School presents an ideal base for touring and exploring this wonderful countryside, rich in natural beauty and heritage.

Central to Shakespeare's Stratford and the beautiful Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, The Old School Tredington is ideal for your visit to the Royal Shakespeare theatre, exploring Warwick castle with its ancient walls, towers and dungeons, the National Trust Garden at Hidcote Manor and nearby Kiftsgate Court renowned for its roses, the antique shops at Moreton-in-Marsh, Chipping Campden and Stow-on-the-Wold, or rambles in the stunning countryside of the Cotswold Hills. Welcoming country inns, historic houses and churches, the Shakespeare properties, black and white cottages, strolls beside babbling streams in the villages, or boating on the peaceful Avon will appeal to anyone seeking a taste of our slice of rural England.

Your accommodation will be in a separate annexe, and comprises a self-contained studio apartment with king-size double bed, leather sofa, coffee table and TV. There is also a DVD/CD player and clock radio with ipod dock. The owners are happy to loan out their own DVD collection to guests wishing to spend a quiet night in. There is a well equipped kitchen corner with microwave, toaster, hob, fridge with freezer compartment, and electric kettle, plus a plus a fabulous en-suite wet room featuring walk in shower, w.c. and basin, plus a neatly concealed washing machine. The tiled bathroom floor has underfloor heating. Outside is a gravelled yard (part of the old playground) with shrubs and your own patio table and chairs. Car parking is off road.

There is an excellent pub (The White Lion) in the village, and in the neighbouring villages of Armscote (The Fox and Goose), Ilmington (The Howard Arms), Newbold-on-Stour (The White Hart), and Halford (The Halford Bridge Inn). Shipston-on-Stour, 2 miles away, has banks, post office, pubs and take-aways, 2 supermarkets and a superb range of quality country food stores. There is a bus service into Oxford, Stratford, Shipston and Banbury.

Should you choose the Bed and Breakfast option, your accommodation will be in the separate annexe with king-size double bed and en-suite wet room. You will be able to relax on the leather sofa in front of the TV / DVD player, or enjoy your own music choice via the ipod dock. You will also have the opportunity to use the annexe facilities, so that you will be able to make a morning cuppa or evening hot drink, and to keep any chilled wine or soft drinks in the fridge, plus the freedom to make any light snacks which you might require for the day. Tea, coffee and fresh milk will be provided. Your price is inclusive of a generous freshly prepared breakfast, served in the Old School Room, generally between 8 and 9 am.

You will have a choice of traditional full English breakfast, with rashers of bacon, sausages, fried egg, grilled tomato, mushrooms and hash brown, or else a lighter Continental option with fruit, yoghurt, locally baked breads and homemade preserves. Both offer fruit juice, toast, and cereals together with freshly brewed coffee or a selection of teas. Or you may prefer your eggs boiled or scrambled with smoked salmon.

The choice is yours!

Note: The accommodation is just for 2 persons.

From the moment I arrived at The Old School I felt extremely welcome and that nothing was too much trouble for Diana and Peter. The accommodation is excellent and I settled in to my 3 week stay immediately.

Having come from a flat on a main road, I couldn't believe how peaceful a place Tredington is, or how beautiful. Throughout my stay I slept like a log and every morning woke with a spring in my step.

I would definitely recommend The Old School, Tredington to anyone wishing to stay in this area. Diana and Peter, long may your business be a huge success. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

The Old School, Tredington offers much more than I had expected. The house is situated in an area full of nice honey coloured stone cottages with beautiful gardens. And not far away are fields and farms where you can take a nice walk around. Then you have an annexe that is all to yourself where you can enjoy the space, privacy and comfortable sofa and bed, not to mention the quietness. I woke up to the chirping of the birds. I stayed in on my own but I would imagine what a lovely time it would be for couples to stay in the annexe that is ideal for two.

The breakfast was lovely - the dining table facing the garden, with Victorian porcelain cups, saucers and plates, and classical music in the background. And with very warm and friendly Diana to have a chat with me.

The house is beautiful and the hosts very hospitable - I therefore would recommend The Old School, Tredington. Having been residing in London, I had a wonderful "English" experience. It's just too bad that public transport to the Cotswolds is difficult. But if you have a car, it would be very convenient since they are really close.

Hosts Diana and Peter made us extremely welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was fantastic .... proper bacon and fresh eggs. On our second morning we had an early start, and Diana provided us with breakfast in the annex so we could eat before we left.

To find a king size bed in a B & B is unusual, so it was great, and so comfortable.

Thank you. We would love to stay again. Perhaps next year for the British Grand Prix 2012.

Had a wonderful time at The Old School, Tredington. Ideal location for exploring the Cotswolds. Visited many places during our week's stay. Really enjoyed Bourton-on-the-Water. Had a lovely meal the first night at the local pub.

The accommodation is of a high level and catered for all + more of our needs. Tredington is a beautiful village and very quiet. Look forward to staying again and will pass on telephone number to family and friends.

A very relaxing and welcoming place in beautiful surroundings. Lovely breakfast. This is our second visit and we would recommend this place to everyone wanting a peaceful break but only a short drive to historic places.

This has proved an excellent base for us to have a long weekend of theatre visits and family get-togethers. Tredington is a place we both passed through many times, but regard with new affection having stayed here so comfortably.

A wonderful week. Have visited many places - Banbury, Warwick castle, Coventry, and of course Stratford, which included two visits to the theatre - "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Macbeth".

Both excellent.

Many thanks for being so welcoming. The accommodation was perfect and Tredington such a pretty village.
