Quick steps
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.
