  • "Great place to stay, great location!"

    We will be back. Thank you

  • "Everything about the old post office is done to a high standard and the owners are very considerate."

    It's somewhat larger than it appears in the photos. We did have a problem while we were there but it was dealt with swiftly and effectively, which is exactly what you hope for. Lack of parking could be a down side, if there was one, but we always managed to get parked somewhere on the street overnight. We had a lovely week there - helped by good weather.

  • "Beautiful property and well laid out we had a lovely stay."

    Beds were very comfortable and the outside secure area was great for our dog. Shop and excellent pub very close as is the sea front which offers a nice walk along the prom to the harbour and into town passing a cafe and chip shop.

  • "We were mightily impressed by the Old Post Office."

    The property was comfortable, impeccably clean and very tastefully decorated. The welcome basket of tea, coffee, bread, butter, milk and chocolate brownies was much appreciated! Our toddler especially loved the shower and fluffy towels and playing with the pieces from the well stocked games cupboard. We appreciated being able to bring our dog. Being a stones throw from the beach and park was ideal.

    Thank you so much for your kind review.We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We are happy to hear that The Old Post Office didn’t disappoint and hope to see you again. Property Owner

  • "We had a superb stay in every aspect."

    We stayed for four weeks and we can't wait to come back to Sarah's and Doug's lovely cottage. It really has been a home from home. The cottage is cozy, warm, comfortable and very well-equipped. Everywhere was spotlessly clean. The enclosed garden is a sun trap and an absolute delight. I fully recommend this cottage to all.

  • "The Old Post Office will stay beautiful in my memory."

    The kitchen was a traveler's dream. Everything about this house was carefully thought out. Sarah and Doug welcomed us with a basket full of goodies and a sweet handwritten card. The pack of Ethiopian coffee was a pleasant twist! We arrived here with lots of deadline and couldn't make time to do a quick food shopping. Their goodies carried us into the next day. I love the garden but sadly the weather couldn't let us use it. I will be coming back hopefully in the summer to enjoy the garden. Thank you for making our stay pleasurable.

  • "Property the nicest cottage that we've stayed in."

    So well equipped and comfortable. The bed was wonderfully comfortable too. There was also a very generous welcome pack, (prosecco, my one weakness!) We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and this cottage has been saved to favourites. The only slight problem, and nothing to do with the accommodation itself, was the difficulty in finding a parking space nearby. Sometimes we were lucky, but it was only a minor inconvenience.

    Dear Angela thank you for your lovely comments, we’ve so glad you liked it. I’m sorry you had problems parking, if it’s a nice day people tend park here for the beach which can be problematic. Hope to see you again Sarah and Doug Property Owner

  • "What a little gem of a place!"

    This property is finished to the highest standard, spotlessly clean, yet really homely. The bed was super comfortable, and the rooms spacious with oodles of character. Outside space was also cottage style, with plenty of space for our little dog to snuffle and explore, and for us to sit. Lovely little ‘touches’ by the hosts, such as a welcome hamper, body washes and all necessary equipment for the stay. And the towels. Softest fluffiest ever!!

  • "We had a wonderful time during our stay at The Old Post Office."

    The property itself has been finished to the highest standard and very tastefully done. It was also very comfortable and cozy. The welcome hamper was the most generous I have ever received from a host, in all the years I have been using Sykes for our getaways! We were very fortunate with the weather during out vist and this meant we could relax and enjoy the gorgeous courtyard garden. The hosts, Sarah and Doug were incredible helpful and accessible, as they a few doors down from the Old Post Office. They had excellent local knowledge and were able to help with our enquiries. Thank you both for our wonderful stay and we look forward to seeing you both soon. Best wishes Jo, Paul and Gracie-dog xx
