    This was awesome stylish B&B with great owner, who cooked us delicious breakfast. Day after we are staying in 4* hotel which is complete rubbish in comparison to The Post House. Thank you Susan for having us ;-)

    The host and the vibe - like visiting your Nan for the genuine care, but like visiting a hotel for the quality. Susan is a total treasure. It's secure, convenient and I will go back when I can.
