We had a lovely four nights with the grandchildren. Although the visiting romany children weren’t as well behaved. Loved the ‘secret garden’ overlooking the river Bain. The village pub/hotel is closed but three available at nearby Askrigg, walkable.

We had a lovely time at the Old Post office in Bainbridge. The house is well presented with everything you need. The pool table was a fun addition, doubling up as the dining table. The back garden was lovely to sit in with the trickle of the waterfall close by. Local coffee shop is run by very friendly people and serves the best coffee and cake! Overall we felt calm and happy at this property and would definitely return to it.
