An Seann Sgoil (“The Old School” in Gaelic) offers brand new luxury accommodation in four stunning 1 and 2 bedroom holiday cottages. They are ideal for couples and small family groups, and each boasts a 4* or 5* quality assurance award from the Scottish tourist board.
A stone built Islay heritage building which served the community for over 100 years, Newton Primary School was finally closed in 2003 and lay empty for nearly 12 years before its new owners acquired the building and began renovations. The old school building and grounds, renamed “An Seann Sgoil”, now offers a collection of unique luxury holiday cottages.

The whole property can also be rented out to cater exclusively for groups of up to 10 people, and is ideal for large parties wishing to stay in accommodation with separate facilities.
