Beautiful BnB, located in a lovely spot. I enjoyed the scones or pastry for breakfast. We had the best room with a great view- felt very special to stay in this old post office. Lovely housekeeper and it was nice chatting to the other guest over breakfast.

The Old Post Office is such a wonderful place to stay, really special and unique. I have a wonderful stay here with the person who runs the place. I would love to go back sometime, the atmosphere and location of the building is just perfect! Thanks for a memorable stay, warmest wishes, Annie

The Old Post House was exactly as we had envisaged. Full of character, perfectly positioned over the harbour and very comfortable. Shelley helpfully gave us all the information we needed and left us to it. Parking would have been a challenge had we not been the only ones staying, but there was room in the village. In high season it could be an issue, given the small size of the place. A great place to stay and highly recommended.

Das Meeresrauschen war vom Zimmer aus zu hören und das gesamte Haus hat einen tollen Charme. Die schönste und besonderste Unterkunft unserer Cornwall Reise. Man fühlt sich wie daheim und es ist alles sauber gewesen. Es wurde erst vor kurzem renoviert. Man teilt sich die Küche bzw das ganze Haus mit Shelley und ihrem süßen Hund. Parken ging ohne Probleme vor der Tür. Das Community Frühstück lässt keine Wünsche offen: Müsli, Scones, frische Croissants, Obst, … Im Bad bräuchte es gekennzeichnete Haken für die Handtücher, damit man diese Aufhängen kann.
