We had a great family holiday at The Old Post Office. The cottage is clean and welcoming. Beds are comfortable and the shower is very powerful. Location couldn’t be better for trips to the tourist sites and access to the city centre. Christine has been very helpful. Super garden for dogs (and kids!). Would recommend!
