its quiet and rural village setting, The Old Post Office has convenient private parking at one side - ideal for partially disabled guests.

It's also particularly suitable for families, with a large children's playhouse safely situated next to the cottage by the lawned play area (garden furniture and barbeque provided).

This single story property has been sensitively converted to make the most of its period charm while meeting modern requirements.

The Old Post Office is heated by duo heaters and is fully double glazed, making it ideal for out-of-season breaks.

Throughout the property the colour scheme is cream and light floral patterns with touches of natural wood. This works particularly well in the large lounge/diner which is cool and airy in summer and cosy in winter when the open coal and log firelight flickers on the exposed beams.

Packed full of modern appliances the fully fitted kitchen is well equipped for your self-catering holiday. There's even a washing machine/dryer for muddy trousers or damp beach towels. The well appointed bathroom gives you the choice of relaxing in the wood panelled bath or taking a brisk shower.

The main double bedroom with its lovely views over the Wolds, features a distinctive wood and wrought iron bed and is decorated with the same light touch as the rest of the property. The second bedroom has two single beds (one is raised). Both bedrooms have pretty colour coordinated curtains and bed linen.

WHAT'S IN THE LOCAL AREA?

To make life easy try the local pub food (highly recommended), or the fish & chip shop. Online grocery shopping can be delivered. Also about a mile away from your cottage is a general store and a butchers, plus a Post Office/newsagents. Further afield, but within easy reach you can go fishing, horseriding, swimming, shooting, walking and mountain biking.

There couldn't be a more peaceful or tranquil setting than The Old Post Office.
