Swindon, England
The Schoolhouse Restaurant & Hotel in Hook, a quiet hamlet in the Civil Parish of Lydiard Tregoze is surrounded by peaceful countryside between Swindon and Royal Wootton Bassett. The former Lydiard Tregoze schoolhouse was charmingly converted into The Schoolhouse Hotel in 1989. Prior to the hotel accommodation being added it was a restaurant known as The Schoolhouse Restaurant. Until 1965 the building was a Victorian school, built in 1859 by the National Society and the St John family. The St. John family lived in Lydiard House, a stately home and park just a stone’s throw from The Schoolhouse. All historical features are retained in the public areas making The Schoolhouse Restaurant & Hotel an unique place to eat and stay. When lodging with us do have dinner, our Schoolhouse breakfast or dinner just to enjoy the Victorian features of the building and perhaps “hear” the voices of the children who were taught here a century ago.
Our guests and visitors after visiting the local attractions or work will appreciate the tranquil location for a drink in the bar, candlelit dinner in our restaurant or enjoy a rest in our comfortable rooms. Log fires will be burning in winter and in the summer the outside terrace will be serving cool drinks and delicious food.
