This gorgeous 3 bedroom cottage, is in the quiet village of Skirmett, situated in the Hambleden Valley, in a particularly pretty area of the Chilterns.
Many films and tv series have been filmed in the area, as it is often thought of as quintessentially English.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 Sept, 2025
We pride ourselves in a well stocked kitchen including pizza cutters, potato mashers, ice cream scoops, bbq tools etc Sadly some of our guests like our things so much, they don't want to part with them when they leave! We are so sorry if you were missing any items and hope it didn't detract from your stay. We will go over tomorrow and replenish. Thank you for letting us know, your feedback is invaluable.

About the host

Hosted by Petra Jensen

Host profile image

Having grown up in the beautiful village of Hambleden, I have enjoyed village life, (and it's locals), and the occasional film star, (our picturesque village is often featured on the big screen).
I can't wait to show you our lovely local towns and villages, breathtaking walks, exciting cycling, scenic horse riding, river activities, traditional pubs and gourmet restaurant, and an extraordinary village life, which is like stepping back in time.

Why they chose this property

The Hambleden Valley is a truly beautiful part of England.
Picture postcard villages (most with a pub and a church) are connected by small lanes or can be reached by an extensive network of footpaths.

What makes this property unique

The Old Post Office is an authentic and charming period cottage situated in a delightful village.
