The Old Post Office Reviews

The Old Post Office was the perfect place to spend a family Christmas with fabulous festive decorations and lights adding to the 'home from home' atmosphere. The photos online did not do the property justice and it exceeded our expectations, being far more spacious than we imagined it might be. We particularly enjoyed the cosy living room with log fire, while the TV, kitchen and other facilities were all to a high standard. Its location is also excellent, being just minutes from Llandrindod and across the road from the welcoming Severn Arms Hotel. All in all we would definitely recommend this property.

We were hesitant to book this property for few reasons like its right on road and it doesn't look big as per the pictures. But we went ahead and booked looking at other reviews and we don't regret taking the right decision. This property has an other entrance towards the side and it's massive and the images on the website don't do any justification for the property. The host has been really helpful and responsive. I would say if in doubt, go ahead and book it.

The description and reviews of this accommodation meant we went with high expectations and we were not disappointed. We are a party of 4 adults, ranging from 86 to 22, who all need their own room and to find a property of this quality with an ensuite each at a price we could afford was amazing. We only have a small dog, so I was not sure the garden was 100 secure, but a a medium sized dog would be fine. The hot tub, games room and pub across the road added to the experience. We would recommend a stay.

The Post Office is a great place for a large group to stay. Large rooms, well equipped with the hot tub and games room as a bonus.

We enjoyed our stay, our only constructive criticism relates to the kitchen 1. The plinth below the dishwasher needs to be cut as when you openclose the dishwasher it bangs against it and sounds as if you are breaking it. 2. The knives really are not very nice to eat with, they are very thin and awkward to hold Lots of info available about the area and thoughtful bits left in the cottage for us thank you. Liked the games room but couldnt work out how to put the heater on it was pretty cold when we rented it. Plenty of room for a group of 8 to stay.

Wow! The owners have thought of everything here, what an amazing place it really is a home from home and so much space

Bridget

We had a lovely stay at the Old Post Office. We were a family group of four adults and two dogs. There was everything we needed. The hot tub was brilliant and the games room was great evening entertainment. There was lots of walking in the area and plenty of routes from the house for lead walks for the dogs. The welcome pack was very much appreciated. We would definitely consider staying here again.

The Old Post Office was a fantastic place to stay, we all thoroughly enjoyed our week here. There was plenty of room for our 7 adults including 4 bedrooms, each having their own ensuite, comfortable furniture for relaxing in and a separate, large dining area. The kitchen was large and extremely well equipped. Having the large utility room was very useful for storing supplies. Outside there was a large hot tub with patio furniture next to it, all under a wooden shelter perfect if the weather isn't dry! The games room provided lots of fun too. I would highly recommend this lovely property.

Excellent property which suits four couples. We loved the fact that all of the bedrooms were ensuite. The kitchen is fabulous and had everything that you could possibly need for your stay. Our family loved the outdoor space, the games room and hot tub were a hit with everyone. We appreciated the welcome pack.

Alistair

The house was great for our party which consisted of 6 adults. There was plenty of space for cooking and socialising in the house, with the added bonus of the hot tub and games room and a pub across the road. The welcome pack was very much appreciated and a great introduction to Welsh Cakes. Plenty of secure parking for our three cars and a great base to explore the region. We had trips to The Devils Bridge, HayOnWye and a few castles. I would highly recommend this property.

Nadine

Very confortable house, clean, everything you need, a nice basket of treats, enclosed garden for children and dogs, big hot tube, a playroom, owners very reactive and discreet. We loved the Old Post Office

Teresa

This is a great property with excellent facilities. We loved using the games room and the outside space which was very secure for our dogs. The area is lovely with some great walks close by. The pub across the road also does great food and offers takeaway. The road outside the property is quite busy but this didn't bother us. I would definitely recommend this property.

This exquisite 'value for money' property has absolutely everything, from the lovely 'Welcome food pack' to the hot tub, games room, and en suite bedrooms, the owners have thought of everything to make your holiday a truly memorable experience.

We stayed in middle of March for one week for a family holiday to celebrate an 80th birthday. The house very comfortable to accommodate 8 adults. The kitchen was was well stocked with utensils. We very much enjoyed the hot tub and the added bonus of the games room. Plenty of parking and owners very helpful.

Jennie

We loved it here, we stayed over new year. lovely property and added surprise of the games room

Perfect property for a group of friends, all ensuite bathrooms and plenty of space. The house had everything you need, the log burner was great for this time of year after a long wet bike ride. The house is in a good location for exploring the local area. The owners left a lovely basket of goodies and messaged in the week to see if we needed anything, couldn't fault anything, brilliant holiday and would definitely return. Many thanks.

Lovely games room. Hot tub great. Excellent place to stay.

We have had a brilliant stay at the old post office. Just great to get away from our busy lifestyle. The property was amazing and the facilities are great. Having children at different ages we always need to find somewhere to cater for them so having the Hot tub and games room is perfect. Also having things there for the dogs is great to. The outside space is great for them. The owners are really lovely people. The area is just beautiful so many walks to go on. The pub opposite is great to. Thanks for an amazing holiday.

Perfect property for our stay. Outdoor area was much enjoyed, owner very attentive and responsive during our stay.

Very friendly and considerate owner. Great space for the dogs and very well equipped. Everything spotlessly clean too.

The Old Post Office, is a fantastic place to stay just about every has been provided in the kitchen, rhe lounge dining room is large with plenty of comfortable furniture, we had a movie night every night nice large dining table great for board games, and eating. Pretty bedrooms comfy beds, great everyone has a en suite. Now to the garden, very nice pond, loved watching the birds feed, and watching the swifts was beautiful. Large area for our four legged friends, which was totally safe and enclosed. Having the hot tub was a fantastic treat. We loved it all.

Lovely spacious property with excellent facilities, four ensuite bedrooms was a real bonus with four 55yr holidaying. There were a couple of maintenance snags, but we were told about them on arrival & they were being addressed. The owners were helpful & very friendly, yet unobtrusive, will definitely stay again if in the area.

Tracey

Wonderful place to stay, very welcoming owners with a lovely touch of a basket of goodies on arrival! Could not fault the accommodation, with a large party the bonus of each room having their own ensuite was great! A well stocked kitchen with ample worktop space was like home from home. The bonus of a beautiful hot tub and games room gave the teenagers and adults!! hours of fun! Highly recommend anyone wanting to visit Wales to stay here, absolutely spotless and really homely! Thank you both, we will return!

Rachel

Great accommodation. Hot tub and games room a real bonus.

Eileen

We spoke to Wayne about problem of heating in downstairs bedrooms and he already knew about it. He was very friendly and helpful and the welcome pack was second to none. We gave him a few suggestions which he seemed grateful for. Looking forward to going back there... especially as he's putting a games room in the garage. The grounds are pretty and peaceful and even tho there's a pubacross the rd and a bus stop outside the house it was very peaceful. Hot tub a big bonus. Ideally situated for Llandridnod Wells and it's wonderful Lake. Also Aldi and Tesco stores.
