    Nothing whatsoever !! We slept like logs in the most comfortable beds and the peace and quiet was so lovely

    Exceptional property ! Just returned from a lovely weekends stay and the property is second to none. Everything in the cottage is delightful. Our little dog adored the large garden to run about in and we enjoyed the hot tub as we were blessed with lovely weather. We will return ! It’s completely home from home with everything you need. Thank you so much for our stay

    Lovely cottage, with probably best equipped kitchen we have had. No need to bring things with you. Also lots of nice extra touches like milk, hot chocolate, croissants and some bubbles. I don't think the pictures quite do it justice, rooms were bigger than the pictures made them look and it is a great social house. There is parking in front of the property and can probably fit two cars though it is a quiet village so parking on the road wouldn't be an issue. We were looking for a relaxing time away and this was a really nice place to chill and spend time in despite the weather, though it is right on the coast to coast path if you did want to walk.

    The only small criticism would be the downstairs showeroom. The shower itself works fine however it wouldn’t stay in one position.

    The building is beautiful with lots of little mementos of when it was a village post office. The kitchen and and lounge area is very modern and the small sitting room with the fire place is a lovely addition. The bedrooms were big and the beds very comfortable including the bunk beds.

    The Old Post office is a lovely little retreat to spend some quality away with the family, offering a very nice interior, well planned out layout and little extras which were appreciated. Outside there is a fantastic hot tub, barbeque and enough seating area to spread out and relax, even with the kids.

    The cottage had everything you could possibly need and more. The kitchen was amazing fully equipped! Children loved the hot tub , the cottage was very cosy, but had lots of room . The shower room was ideal for washing the dogs after muddy walks . Ravenglass was small but beautiful. We travelled a lot over the week to get to the lakes I would say that is the only negative. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cottage with us .

    Cleanest holiday cottage ever stayed in Kitchen was so well equipped with so much more than we needed which is always a bonus especially as a family of 6 Hot tub super and very warm Beds extra comfy Loved the little touches of books for the kiddies, dressing gowns, slippers, hamper and welcome note Loved the beach

    The Post Office is quite deceptive in size. It was much bigger than I was expecting. Such a lovely home from home, full of everything you might need and has a fully equipped kitchen. The local pub serves excellent food, although you do need to book a table as it is quite small.

    The property was beautiful. It was exceptionally clean and there were full amenities available. There were little added extras such as a continental breakfast laid out in a picnic basket upon arrival. The beds were super comfy and the open fire added to the extra cosy feel. William was really helpful prior to checking in and was quick to respond to all messages.
