The Old Post Office Lanchester

A wonderful gem of a...

Liked: What a wonderful B&B with a warm welcome by Keith. We had to find somewhere to stay at short notice due to an elderly relatives illness. Keith was amazing! A warm welcome but also respectfully giving us time to process the current situation. He made a difficult situation bearable with his kindness and we can’t thank him enough!Regarding the room, WOW! Outstanding, every little detail is thought of, earplugs for noisy sleepers, he must know my husband snores, or is it me??. Or both! Whoever it is the earplugs came in very handy, we slept very well in a very comfortable bed. The refreshment tray had everything you would want and more!Then the breakfast! Oh my, why have we not found this gem in this beautiful village before! Keith provides a very extensive breakfast menu which we advised him of our choices of the night before. Everything and I mean everything(!) is sourced locally or within a very short distance. You could taste the freshness of the eggs from their hens in the garden, the homemade bread made lovingly by Keith the night before! Well, I could have eaten the whole loaf given the chance! Delicious!The Old Post Office is absolutely outstanding from the history adorning the walls, the attention to detail in the rooms, the delicious breakfast and the welcome received by Keith. We would highly recommend and will definitely stay here again. Thank you Keith for your kindness.
Disliked: Nothing, it was perfect!

Great place with friendly staff...

Liked: Nothing to dislike, although there was a street light outside my room window but the wooden internal shutters cut out the light into the room.

Liked: The Old Post Office was the perfect spot from which to head into Durham for the day, bus service very easy if you don't have a car. The local Italian restaurant was amazing and Keith, the owner of the B&B went above and beyond to make my stay easy and comfortable.

Liked: Lanchester is a beautiful friendly area. The host Keith is a lovely man friendly informative and really cares for his business. The breakfast is cooked perfectly with produce from his own chickens and garden and anything he can’t produce himself is locally sourced. He bakes a mean loaf. This is the second time we have stayed at this property and if in the area again wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again. It is home from home and really relaxing.
Disliked: I can’t think of anything.
