Catherine from United Kingdom (10/10)
The hosts were a very genuine and caring couple, and went out of their way to make my stay just right. I like a h to bath and this was a good feature for me as many places don’t have enough hot water. The breakfast was left out for me to have at convenience. They gave me a welcome glass of fizz and were just genuinely nice people.
Maughan from United Kingdom (10/10)
We enjoyed our stay at The Old Post Office, mainly due to the friendliness, kindness and generosity of Michelle and Paul. They made our stay very comfortable. A genuinely compassionate, kindly couple. The world is a better place because they are in it! Many thanks to you both – you're brilliant!

Richard from United Kingdom (10/10)
The beautiful location within NTVillage of Little Bollington. The wonderful reception from Michelle & Paul and the faultless way they looked after us. The well appointed bedroom was large with a proper ensuite bathroom and we had the use of the comfy lounge cum breakfast room- perfect! Lots of maps & interesting reading material. Good walking from the door straight into NTDunham Massey along the Bollin Valley Way & Bridgewater Canal – perfect. Even several hostelries for evening meals only a few minutes on foot.
In truth a magical property in a wonderful position but the highlight for us were our lovely hosts Michelle & Paul!Ruth from United Kingdom (10/10)
Absolutely wonderful hosts, so lovely, welcoming and warm. The room and ensuite bathroom are incredibly well equipped, the shower is great, the bed is huge and comfy, and there were plenty of spare blankets if needed, not that I did as the room was lovely and warm. Lounge was also lovely. Gorgeous location too. Absolutely wonderful stay and would love to stay again!
