What a fantastic weekend we have had here. Everything you could possibly need all under the one roof. Ideal for family and friends get togethers. We thoroughly enjoyed our two days and the grandkids had a great time baking and cooking in the beautiful kitchen. Our host kirsty gave us a very friendly welcome and gave us a full tour of the house . Kirsty was at hand at the drop of a hat .We would highly recommend staying here and we will definitely be returning 😊 ##### Catherine Iley From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barbara Bridgwood Aug 4, 2025 #### This was an outstanding place to stay. This was an outstanding place to stay. Although rated four star it was truly amazing and in my opinion five star quality. Kirsty and Paul, the owners, could not have been more helpful and their attention to detail was well beyond expectations. There were cases of fresh roses in all the rooms which was such a beautiful gesture. And I should add, there were LOTS of rooms including three sitting rooms so idea for families with children who want a bit of space on their own! I did worry slightly that there might be something wrong with the place as it was much cheaper than comparable properties but I was blown away and would simply recommend the place before it charges what it is genuinely worth. On a side note, the pub is only 300 yards away and does the most amazing and reasonably priced food! After a lovely walk and time for the kids on the park, we were really grateful for a convenient and high quality pub stop. All in all I cannot speak more highly of the Old Post Office and I know we will be back! ##### Barbara Bridgwood ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [The Hunting Tower Chatsworth Estate](https://www.expedia.ca/Bakewell-Hotels-The-Hunting-Tower-A-Unique-Property-Overlooking-Chatsworth-House.h41486098.Hotel-Information) > - [The Crown Inn Dial Post](https://www.expedia.ca/Horsham-Hotels-The-Crown-Inn-Dial-Post.h64272071.Hotel-Information) > - [The Old Dairy](https://www.expedia.ca/Shrewsbury-Hotels-The-Old-Dairy.h26995054.Hotel-Information) > - [The Old Corn Mill](https://www.expedia.ca/Kendal-Hotels-The-Old-Corn-Mill.h35588082.Hotel-Information) > - [Kings Court Hotel, BW Signature Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Alcester-Hotels-Kings-Court-Hotel.h1223389.Hotel-Information) > - [Ferns Farm Hotel & Palms Leisure Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Bridlington-Hotels-Ferns-Farm-Hotel-Palms-Leisure-Club.h30316058.Hotel-Information) > - [Fennel Folly - UK32608](https://www.expedia.ca/Oakham-Hotels-2-Bedroom-Accommodation-In-Manton.h64451637.Hotel-Information) > - [Grassington Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Skipton-Hotels-Grassington-Lodge.h76266496.Hotel-Information) > - [The Cottage Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nottingham-Hotels-The-Cottage-Hotel.h20846263.Hotel-Information) > - [Hopewell House](https://www.expedia.ca/Leeds-Hotels-Hopewell-House.h17133814.Hotel-Information) > - [Posh Huts](https://www.expedia.ca/Hexham-Hotels-Posh-Huts.h6410909.Hotel-Information) > - [Luxury Beach House Rental with Hot Tub, 30 meters to Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Looe-Hotels-Luxury-Beach-House-Rental-With-Hot-Tub.h27313935.Hotel-Information) > - [Redwings Lodge Uppingham](https://www.expedia.ca/Oakham-Hotels-Redwings-Lodge-Uppingham.h518926.Hotel-Information) > - [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > - [The Crown Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Kings-Lynn-Hotels-The-Crown-Inn.h105842666.Hotel-Information) > - [Mulberry House](https://www.expedia.ca/Ongar-Hotels-Mulberry-House.h32774406.Hotel-Information) > - [1 bedroom accommodation in Steeple Ashton, near Trowbridge](https://www.expedia.ca/Trowbridge-Hotels-1-Bedroom-Accommodation-In-Steeple-Ashton.h35262947.Hotel-Information) > - [Wildflower Premium Lodge with private hot tub](https://www.expedia.ca/Cirencester-Hotels-Wildflower-Premium-Lodge-With-Private-Hot-Tub.h104903261.Hotel-Information) > - [Green Lodge, Wirral by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.ca/Liverpool-Hotels-Green-Lodge.h11899636.Hotel-Information) > - [The Marquis](https://www.expedia.ca/Ipswich-Hotels-The-Marquis.h22465947.Hotel-Information) > - [Cliveden House](https://www.expedia.ca/Maidenhead-Hotels-Cliveden.h518646.Hotel-Information) > - [Rose Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Skipton-Hotels-Rose-Cottage.h31001473.Hotel-Information) > - [Millcroft](https://www.expedia.ca/Penrith-Hotels-Millcroft.h26994538.Hotel-Information) > - [Stone Cottage close to village shop, pool & pub](https://www.expedia.ca/Lechlade-Hotels-Traditional-Cottage-By-Cotswold-Wildlife-Park.h41552534.Hotel-Information) > - [The Feathered Nest Country Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-The-Feathered-Nest.h44085381.Hotel-Information) > - [The Bridge Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bolton-Hotels-Bridge-Hotel.h44942256.Hotel-Information) > - [Stonehenge Courtyard](https://www.expedia.ca/Stonehenge-Courtyard.h97558122.Hotel-Information) > - [The Cross at Croscombe](https://www.expedia.ca/Wells-Hotels-The-Cross-At-Croscombe.h35380551.Hotel-Information) > - [Cowley Manor Experimental](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-Cowley-Manor.h1662540.Hotel-Information)
