The Old Posthouse

Our Rooms

We have a number of rooms for the use of guests.

There are 3 guest bedrooms, which are all on the first floor. Please note that The Old Posthouse is an old Victorian building, and access to the first floor is up quite steep stairs with a handrail for support.

The following amenities are in each bedroom/shower-room: high speed WiFi, Freeview TV, radio, alarm clock with USB ports, thermostatically controlled electric radiator, towels, liquid soap, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner, hairdryer; and tea, coffee and hot chocolate making facilities – with a wide choice of teas and coffees – and biscuits. There is daily housekeeping of the bedrooms.

Ironing facilities and a fridge with fresh milk and water are just outside the bedrooms.

The dining room and snug are on the ground floor and are available for the use of guests.

There is a walled garden and courtyard so that guests can sit outside if they want to enjoy the fresh air and/or sunshine.

Check-in and Check-out times:
Check-in: between 5.00 pm and 10.00 pm. Check-in outside these times may be possible by prior agreement. However, as we are a family run B&B we ask that guests let us know when they are likely to arrive so that we can ensure someone is here to greet them.
Check-out: Bedrooms to be vacated by 10.00 am other than on Saturday and Sunday when Bedrooms must be vacated by 11.00 am.

Please note that we do not allow hot meals to be eaten in the Bedrooms; but guests can use the Dining Room for an evening meal and we can provide guests with plates and cutlery.

The Snug

The cosy private snug is available for the use of guests. There is a selection of books for you to enjoy or you could just relax in front of the TV. And when it is cold outside you can relax in front of the log burner – apparently proven to lower blood pressure.

Outside

There is a walled garden and a courtyard at the back of the house, where guests can sit and relax and enjoy the fresh air and/or sunshine. You might even catch sight of the Red Arrows flying overhead out of the nearby RAF Scampton.
