Comfortable, warm and clean. Good size bedrooms, nice kitchen area and cosy lounge with a fire. Good location - nice walks right out the door or a short drive away. We've enjoyed two stays here and would recommend. Only downside is the front door leads straight onto a road, so be cautious with dogs or kids when leaving.

The four of us had a lovely 4 night stay at the Old Post Office. Full of charm- it was like being in the Famous Five for the kids! Recommended local trips out are Becky Falls and the Butterfly and Otter sanctuary.

Lovely accommodations for a weekend stay

We loved the Old Post Office. It was perfect for five friends touring England. We appreciated the communications and video from the property manager.
