Travel + Leisure "if you want to get any sleep at all, be sure to ask for a room overlooking the “quiet courtyard.”" Full review
DK Eyewitness "Whimsically decorated and furnished with antiques, classrooms-turned-guestrooms still have their chalkboards and clocks, but now they also have private bathrooms."
Rough Guide "Unique rooms in a refurbished 1915 schoolhouse with chalkboards and cloakrooms, plus modern appointments."
