Summary

The property is spacious and well-equipped, providing comfort for families and groups. Guests appreciated the charming location, good communication with owners, and the presence of local amenities. Some noted unique kitchen arrangements and access challenges, but overall found it delightful and would return.

The property

Well-positioned in the pretty village of Ampleforth in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park is The Old Post Office, a characterful dwelling, inviting ten guests. Just a stone's throw away from local amenities and a host of beauty spots, whilst offering original beamed ceilings, inviting interiors, and flexible sleeping arrangements with an external annexe on offer, the cottage provides the ideal base for a group celebration. Enter the welcoming living/dining room, featuring a woodburning stove, a plush velvet corner sofa, and a six-seater dining table, delivering a homely setting after a day of adventure. For further dining opportunities, head to the rear terrace, both enclosed and private, or gather in the kitchen/diner, enjoying a country style. When sleep calls, head upstairs to select from one of four spacious bedrooms, including two super-king-size (zip/link) and two doubles, some benefitting from en-suite shower rooms, whilst the others are serviced by a traditional bathroom with roll-top bath. For those who prefer some privacy, make the external annexe your home, housing a double mezzanine bedroom, en-suite, and open-plan living space. Prepare for your coming adventures by visiting Ampleforth and its charming amenities, ahead of touring the stunning remains of Byland Abbey, enjoying a hands-on experience at the National Centre for Birds of Prey (NCBP), or rambling through the pretty grounds of National Trust - Nunnington Hall. Travelling towards the city of York, be spoilt for choice when planning your itinerary, with the chance to visit the Museum and Gardens, follow the border of York City Walls, or enjoy a historical activity at JORVIK Viking Centre. Dotted across the national park you'll also find a host of attractions, including Ryedale Folk Museum, Butterwick Alpaca Retreat, where you can trek across the countryside, and Castle Howard, an enchanting stately home, inviting the entire family. Gather your loved ones with The Old Post Office as your base.
