We spent a wonderful week for my 60th birthday at The Old Post Office which was a fabulous place to stay & I'd recommend it to anyone. Spacious, spotlessly clean, comfortable bed & the armchairs in the lounge were very comfortable especially if you had the log fire on, very cosy & a great place to enjoy the large array of different birds, even a woodpecker all enjoying the bird feeder. Lovely that the original fireplace is there & furniture & accessories match the period. Everything had been thought of, there was nothing we needed. Amazing welcome package, the best we've ever had, so thank you Becky & for our dog Ruby to. The garden is beautiful, so peaceful, we loved spending time in it & enjoying BBQs most evenings as we had gorgeous warm sunny weather all week. The location is excellent too as you enjoy the peaceful rural location but a short drive to Hereford or closer still to a large Tesco. Great base to explore Herefordshire & surrounding counties or for Wales. Too much to do in a week, we'd love to return
