My husband and I called into the Old Post Office on a wet Friday lunchtime. The atmosphere is great and the history of the building is well explained on the blackboard next to the bar. It has kept it's original features. We had lunch and for once there were a number of vegetarian options (not just the usual choices either).... More

We stayed here Easter Bank Holiday, 2 nights. Nothing but good things to say about the place. Bang central so less walking, friendly proprioter and bar staff, excellent room, clean throughout, breakfast brilliant (full english, cornflakes, tea/coffee/orange, doorstep toast), 24hr access to room. On leaving we were offered discount on next stay, will definately return. A++++++++++++++++++++++

Fantastic old building right in the middle of town. The breakfast was great and the room and bed comfy. The en suite was bath only - no shower - and although the noise did permeate up from below (think we were above the kitchen) it didn't really bother us. By the time we got back from our party, the pub... More

Just popped in for a drink in the evening. Good atmosphere and the staff were as friendly as you could wish for. Beer was well kept with a small but good selection and they have a nice courtyard with plenty of cover. Seem to have a lot of live nights which I will be back for.

Spend three nights in twin room with shared bathroom at £50 a night or they have en suite for £60. Room and indeed the entire pub is spotlessly clean,breakfast was very good with a nice selection, also they do two meals for a tenner which are more than ample,Sunday lunch is served until 4 pm and was beautiful. A lot... More

I paid just £35 for b&b and it was absolutely fine. The room had a shared bathroom but as no-one else was staying, it wasn't a problem. The room was spacious and clean and the staff were very pleasant. Decent pub, decent food...all good

My wife and myself stayed here in the middle of Feb. We initially were booked in for two nights having trawled the Internet for somewhere cheap and cheerful to stay. The previous reviews helped us decide on the Old Post Office. We arrived on a Monday and were greeted by the friendly bar man. We had booked a double en... More

Please read and beware! Rooms are above the bar, which hosts live music. Spent the first night trying to sleep with ear plugs, whilst the bed vibrated. Thought we'd be ok on the second, but alas the bar plays music which permeates the thin wooden floors throughout the weekend evenings. Whilst I can't fault the general facilities nor the location...

This was in my view a gem of a find. We came across it by accident. Quite literally in the town center. A couple of flight of stairs but nothing major. We had the en suite room and overlooked the courtyard. Be aware that it is noisy at the weekends, but that is to be expected in a busy pub.... More
