The Old Post Office, Lanchester
27 Front Street, Lanchester, DH7 0LA, United Kingdom – Excellent location – show map
Keith and Pauline were great hosts, very welcoming and friendly. The room and ensuite were clean and spacious and they provided some extra touches which were very much appreciated. I liked the way they had themed the rooms, each one being named after an old stamp and decorated accordingly. (They are The Old Post Office after all!) Their home is beautifully decorated with lots of knick-knacks and art work. There were several choices for breakfast which was delicious. They are situated in a beautiful area with good access to the City of Durham and Beamish Museum.
The Old Post Office offers a pleasant village setting just 20 minutes’ drive from the historic city of Durham. This pretty Grade II-listed property offers uniquely decorated rooms and lovely gardens with a courtyard. Each of the rooms at The Old Post Office features beautiful printed fabrics and artifacts.
