It was the second time we stayed in this property and it won't be the last. In a lovely village with a great pub not far away that serves amazing food. Easy access and parking with lovely hosts who live next door. Location that's perfect for visiting all of the towns and villages that Rutland has to offer. We will definitely return in the future.

The cottage was homely and very comfortable. Good instructions for entry and a lovely welcome letter explaining all we needed to know. The cottage was immaculate. Beds very comfortable and all the facilities you need. Lots of handy leaflets about where to visit and local eateries. We highly recommend the pub around the corner, the food is great and the welcome warm and friendly, even a quiz on Thursday night.

The bungalow is well appointed, clean and comfortable. The owners are friendly and helpful. The only downside is no off-street parking, but this is not usually a problem. The road and pub nearby are not noisy. The shop is very handy too.

From the day I made the reservation, I was kept informed about our stay. I inquired about trains and got a prompt response. The cottage was beautifully furnished, very clean and suited our purposes perfectly. I would definitely recommend this cottage and if I got the opportunity, I would visit again!

The property was lovely, it had everything you need and was well equipped. However only supplied with one towel each so had no option but to put the washer on. As the property was very cold, this made it difficult to dry the washing. We asked for the heating to be turned up but we’re told to put a jumper on and I was told to wrap my husband in an electric blanket! It was just unacceptable for us so we had to leave mid week and come home to a warm house. Would be great to stay in the summer!

Rooms were comfortable and well appointed. (But kitchen needs actually sharpened knives and the TV remote is antiquated.) Exterior is attractive and there is a lovely outdoor sitting area. Close proximity to shop, pub, and church was a plus. Very friendly neighbors and villagers as a whole. -- we met nearly two dozen. Lynn and Alan were welcoming but unobtrusive hosts. Lynn's shortbread is amazing! The Old Post Office is a great place to experience village life and we have no hesitation in giving it our highest recommendation.

The “Old Post Office” was the perfect cosy hideaway for anyone thinking of staying in the area. My wife & I stayed in Lynn & Alan’s beautiful property after my wife was discharged from hospital - it had absolutely everything we needed for rest & healing to take place. Market Overton is a lovely village with plenty of nice flat areas to walk & explore. The community shop next door had everything you would need & the food from the local pub, “The Black Bull” was delicious. We would highly recommend “The Old Post Office” to anyone thinking of staying in the area.
