The Old Post Office is located in a lovely small Village. It is easy to get to know the locals in one of the 2 pubs around the corner. There is a playground nearby for the children. The host is very friendly and helpful, the house is well maintained. The location, in the middle of the village, adds to the post Office feeling.
