Whip up a delicious dinner in the kitchen/diner, equipped with range cooker, electric oven, gas hob, microwaved, fridge, and fridge/freezer, before tucking in at a long dining table for 16 people! Toss your plates to the dishwasher and race outside to hop in the hot tub for a warm, bubbling massage, as you make the most of the day’s last few rays of sunlight.

Fall onto the sofas and into a film on the Smart TV in the sitting room, before jumping into a super-king-size, double, twin, or single bed waiting to catch you. Soak up your local surroundings at the YWT Moorlands Woodland Nature Reserve, spend the kids energy at The Web Adventure Park, then top off the day with a bite to eat at The Dawnay Arms, Shipton pub – less than 0.1 miles from your property!

Venture a little further afield for the city of York, where the history buff can marvel at JORVIK Viking Centre, York City Walls, York Castle Museum, and National Trust - Treasurer's House, York. Take that short drive to Leeds to admire the gorgeous pieces within Leeds Art Gallery, explore Leeds City Museum, visit Leeds Cathedral, and catch a show at First Direct Arena.

The Old Post Office Reviews

Hannah
We had a fantastic stay at The Old Post Office! The property is spacious, making it perfect for a family getaway. Its location is ideal, 20 minute drive or bus ride into York. The owners were responsive and helpful throughout are stay. The house itself was comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed. Overall I would highly recommend The Old Post Office
Philip
Fabulous property in a lovely part of the world. We all had a wonderful time. The Old Post Office is highly recommended by all our party!
Jonathan
We had an amazing time at the Old Post Office. It's one of only a few properties with space for everyone at the dinner table, so eating together is perfect. The kitchen is decentlyequipped too with a nice big range cooker. The hottub is a nice big one also perfect for 4 adults for a leisurely evening, or lots more for a quick dip.
Anthony John
We thoroughly enjoyed our family holiday layout and facilities lent itself to three generations, a family friend and a dog all finding ways to enjoy a holiday together that suited them. Great location for York, Dales etc. Good interaction with owner too. Note that there is parking for three cars at the property, so some of us had to park on the road outside.
Christopher
We had a wonderful week long stay at The Old Post Office. House was well equipped, in excellent condition and comfortably housed three families with children from toddlers to teens. Location was excellent for local attractions.
Oliver
Lovely property, ideal for large groups. Large enough kitchendining area for us to all eat together and a couple of receptiontv rooms so the kids were happy they could watch their own stuff. Loads of bedrooms and very comfortable. We got the bus from pretty much outside the property and were in York in 1520 minutes. Also went to the Dawnay Arms which is no more than 5 minutes walk away, great food and really friendly staff. Would highly recommend this property.
Gorgeous house, gorgeous location. Super clean, and really good communication with the hosts. So lovely and easy to deal with. We had the best weekend! Thank you so much
Stayed here with a few friends for 2 nights. The place was amazing. The place had everything you need for a stay. Everyone was pleased with the facilities on offer. I would highly recommend the pub over the road as well for both food and drink. Thank you
Nicola
We had the pleasure of staying here for our hen do weekend. This house is beautiful, plenty of places to sit comfortable. Lovely big kitchen with 2 fridges for all the drinks and food, extra long table for all to sit at. The bedrooms are just as amazing, with very comfy beds. Hot tub was lovely and hot, great place to sit outside with the girls even those that dont want in the tub. 5 minutes from hickory smoke house, 15 mins in taxi to the centre of York, plenty of Ubers available to get us there. The house was lovely and clean from the very top to the bottom. We thank you for letting us celebrate our hen in your beautiful house. If youre looking for a place to stay for a bunch of friendsfamily or even ones that allows hen do parties like ours, This house has everything you will need for your stay.

Went with our children and our grandkids for our 50th anniversary. Were extremely pleased with accommodation. Bedrooms worked nicely with our requirements and beds give a good nights sleep. Pillows were a big hit and we all know how pillows are very personal to most of us. Daughterin law ordered some the next day! Little extras tea, coffee, milk etc very welcome. The pub down the road has a really good steak night offer, only a few mins walk away. Location of property is excellent for buses into York and close to many options to keep the kids happy, especially near Tesco. Owners keep in touch, very friendly and helpful. Couldn't have chosen a better option, you need to try it!

Great property and fabulous facilities for our group. We had a great weekend celebrating and felt very comfy in the beds and decor lovely too. The kitchen was great for our group and to sit together round the big table was a bonus. Would definitely return.
Caroline
The post office was the perfect getaway for our large family group of 13 from 77 to 2 years old! It was situated in a lovely village and close to the bus into York, a park a short walk away entertained the children and the hot tub in its own gated courtyard was much appreciated by all. The kitchen was equipped to suit our needs and it was lovely to have a table big enough to accommodate us all together. The range of bedrooms allowed us to fit everyone in our group, without any squabbles about who was sharing. The beds were very comfortable and after our travels around the local area to Beningborough house, York, Flip out, Hickorys, the local farm shop and more, we were guaranteed a good nights sleep. There were some lovely local walks which our dog enjoyed too and it was appreciated that we could bring him with us to join in the fun. The house was clean and beautifully presented with nods to its history in the post related decor and the layout was great for a large group. The separate snug was a bit of a retreat and the living room had enough seating for us to enjoy time together. The owners Alex and Amber were very responsive and communicated well. We would highly recommend The Post Office as a place to stay and hope to do so again in the future.
Jessica Pauline
A thoroughly enjoyable break, beautiful home, fantastic communication. Highly recommend
The Old Post Office was a perfect place for a multi generational 83 yrs 4 months family weekend. The house was spotlessly clean, well equipped, beautifully decorated reflecting the buildings history and it had a good layout. It was great to all be able to sit around the large kitchen table and eat, drink, chat, laugh and sing together. The outside hot tub area was excellent it was nice and private, protected from the elements and a real sun trap. The additional seating there meant we could all be together outside. The house is in an ideal location to pop into York using the park and ride or there is a direct bus.We went to the Dawney Arms across the road for a lovely meal with great service. Alex the manager was also great at ensuring everything was going well for us during our stay. I would highly recommend this house we had a wonderful, memorable weekend there!
