What an unexpected (and wonderful) surprise recently to find out that we are listed in the Top 15 bed and breakfast places to stay in Northumberland, according to TripAdvisor, check us out at entry number seven in the article as reported by the Northumberland Gazette.

We wish to send a huge thank you to all our guests who have kindly taken the time to leave us lovely reviews with excellent feedback on TripAdvisor since opening in 2016.

Post Office House was purpose-built in 1893 with telegraph facilities, sorting room and Postmaster’s residence. The telephone exchange closed in 1960’s and sorting office mid 1990’s.  The post office and postmaster’s residence remained until 2014.  The distinctive, unique black and gold post-horn sign, remains as a reminder which we adopted for our business logo.

Our cosy, welcoming Breakfast Room was the kitchen in Victorian times. The focal point is the characteristic, original sandstone surround for the former cooking range where guests can warm up in front of our Jøtul wood-burning stove, lit in the colder months. Cheery, colourful post box fabric is dotted around as a nod toward the buildings’ previous role.
