Had a lovely little stay at the old post house! All in all great, great amenities. Nice to have a couple of wash pods and dishwasher tablets. Bathroom had shampoo, conditioner and body wash ( body wash pump didn’t work). Was nice to have milk and biscuits on arrival. Beds were really comfy and nice plump pillows Couple of downsides for us were the bedrooms weren’t dark enough at night, could have done with something more blackout. Also there were quite a lot of cobwebs in the blinds and corners of the room. Managed to park outside the house every day too which was nice.
