We have stayed at the Old Post office several times and have always been delighted with our stay. We are always made welcome and the property has everything to make a great stay. The Community shop next door and the pub around the corner are great assets. It's a great area for walking, cycling and visiting. we would highly recommend the property.

Lovely cottage, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. We didn’t use washing machine as only stayed 3 nights. Has eye level oven and ideal for the less mobile as everything on one floor. Cosy, comfortable lounge with tv and plenty of books to read. Would happily stay again.

Wonderful thoughtful hosts. More than average amenities. They thought of all the little things to make our stay comfortable. Very cute little cottage and great location for our purposes. Definitely need a car though. Really good food at the pub and convenient to have a little store right next door.

The property was lovely, it had everything you need and was well equipped. However only supplied with one towel each so had no option but to put the washer on.
As the property was very cold, this made it difficult to dry the washing. We asked for the heating to be turned up but we’re told to put a jumper on and I was told to wrap my husband in an electric blanket! It was just unacceptable for us so we had to leave mid week and come home to a warm house. Would be great to stay in the summer!
