A gem of a place, excellent room and food, would thoroughly recommend. Booked a stay for two couples (one with a dog). Communication prior to arrival was great. Upon arrival we were welcomed and shown to our beautifully appointed room. The room and ensuite was exceptionally clean, with a comfortable bed and excellent shower. Our evening meals were lovely (no complaints) and despite staying in the bar long after other customers had left, we were not rushed out! The breakfast was lovely, very tasty with quality ingredients. Stayed two nights and we ate in the bar both nights with no complaints and nothing seemed to be too much trouble for the hosts. Would thoroughly recommend a stay at the Old Posting House as a base for exploring the Lakes.
