Jealous of the kids? Airbnb nail ‘back to school’ feels with these listings

by

No matter how much we may have complained about it at the time and how often we hear our kids moan about homework, the first few days of September generally have us harking back to our school days.

Perfectly ironed uniforms, brand-new stationary and the dogged belief that this year would be different has us longing for days gone by, so we can't get enough of these Airbnb listings which have come up trumps for anyone missing their schooldays.

Known for homes with a twist, Airbnb are giving their guests the chance to stay in a number of stunning former schoolhouses around Ireland, and it's hard not to be enchanted.

From Waterford to Donegal, these houses are spot-on if you find yourself feeling a little jealous of the kids this month.
