Great stay at The Old Post Office in Burnsall, location is well placed in the village and close to a nice pub for food and drink, lots of local walks around. The property is beautiful, lots of good shared space with kitchen, garden, conservatory and two sitting rooms which was perfect for a bigger group. Kitchen is filled with all the cooking essentials you might need which made it easy to just turn up and enjoy the holiday. Really well decorated and comfortable inside.

The location is lovely but this doesn’t give it an excuse to be dirty. Sand, hair and food left in the kitchen sink. Cobwebs everywhere. Tired paintwork. Broken lightbulbs. Dirty BBQ and utensils left out. Flys and dirt on windowsills. The list could go on. The Log burner which is described as a feature in the description, was left with ash in and the reminisce on the floor. Also after 31st March logs are not provided as it’s considered to warm. (This is not made clear in the description). we visited in April with night time temperatures of below zero. Pictures sent to host! Overall has to be the most grubby and unloved air B&B we have visited. Previous reviews also mention the same issues. Very disappointing

We had a lovely stay, the only negative which is what a lot of reviews say, which is the level of cleaning. We had to dust the headboards ourselves before we slept in them. There’s alot of long standing cobwebs around … please listen to the reviews and get a thorough deep clean done.. as it’s a beautiful spacious house and we would have booked again. The location is perfect, it’s helped by having the fabulous Red Lion who have the most friendliest staff. Gorgeous walks all around too.

Lovely house, very spacious. There is a big AGA range in kitchen throws out a lot of heat. Would be a cosy place to sit in winter, but was very hot in summer. Thankfully the conservatory was a great summer place to sit. Only minor negative comment I have is that lighting is a little dim for reading/knitting in the evenings. The location is perfect for exploring the Yorkshire Dales. We had some lovely walks right the house.

Not as advertised not newly refurbished. Old, shabby and unclean. Host and stay constantly sending emails, demands for deposits and reviews. Lots of communication but a very impersonal service. Beautiful location

Good location, and nice house, a little tired. location butifull, but as expected very busy. Things to note: No dish washer, not a major issue as we ate out. No curtains /blinds a number of rooms???? Garden furniture a little rickety. Two superb pubs in Appletreewick, a 1.7 mile walk along the river, beer excellent and food good. The Red Lion, close but the beer was disappointing, and food on the high side.

The numerous maintenance issues contributed to a dingy appearance. One room which had no curtain on a side window was used as a promotional picture! Would not recommend this property. Have paid similar price for a much better appointed property.

We stayed in Burnsall for my dad's 70th birthday, together with a dog and 2 small toddlers. Initially upon enterting the property we were really impressed. The communication had been great and the photo's matched the property. However, as we began settling in there were some basic things that bothered us: - Only one of the bedrooms had curtains in all windows, which made it very difficult for putting toddlers to bed! We ended up trying to pack the window aloves with cushions to try and block out as much light as possible. - The kitchen was lovely but had basic items missing such as a tin opener (we ended up going to the pub to ask them to open 4x tins of tuna we needed for our packed lunch when going out walking!) - Most of the ornaments were covered in either dust or cobwebs. - There were missing handles - No dish washer (1st world problems but as we all have dish washers, this was definitely a chore!) So all in all, okay - not dreadful but not brilliant either unfortunately.

Nice place in a great location. Very comfortable beds. A few areas that need attention include cleanliness and a few things that need fixing which we've provided feedback to the hosts and hopefully will be addressed. We had a nice stay and had great days out in Ilkley, Grassington and Harrogate.

The cottage is beautiful. Burnsall is perfect. The cottage has everything you need. For the price you pay Airbnb for cleaning id expect it to be perfect but there were quite a lot of cobwebs and it was dusty in some areas of the house. Also, the toilet was broken when we arrived which wasnt ideal but luckily there were other toilets to use! Id definitely recommend this cottage.

The location of this large, characterful house is absolutely perfect! Beautiful village and some great walks around. For a large house, it would benefit from a dishwasher! Pre-warning that it’s hand wash only. The AGA is fine, as long as you know how to use one! Plan ahead and with plenty of time. The big let down for us was the cleanliness. People have mentioned it before in reviews. Thankfully the bed linen and towels were clean, but the rest of the house was not: dead flies on the en-suite windowsill, cobwebs everywhere, mould around the kitchen sink. Some really easy wins, so I hope the rental company do something about it! With a clean, it would be as perfect as it’s pictures in the listing.

This house does need seem urgent maintenance, but it is a beautiful property in a lovely location. The kitchen smelt strongly of oil despite ventilation (we were reassured the aga had had recent maintenance) and the kitchen hot tap was leaky and faulty. Several doors did not shut properly and all the windows in the attic bedroom had no curtains. There was also no curtain in one of the front bedrooms - really not ideal when staying in summer! Would be a great stay if these issues were seen too.

The accommodation is perfectly situated in the lovely village of Burnsall. The property is big and had all amenities needed. The Aga is hard to cook on though! lovely enclosed garden. The bedrooms are huge and very comfortable. Would definately love to stay again.

House was a great location. Needs a major bit of TLC, lots of things such as broken chair, wallpaper hanging off the walls, the dust from the chimney coming through the fireplaces in the night time with the wind. Would stay again if these things all where sorted as the location is brilliant and plenty of room.

This house is set in the most beautiful place, nestled in a small village win the Yorkshire Dales with a large river running through the village, and lots of amazing walks nearby etc. The view of hills from the kitchen window was incredible - especially as we come from the flat land of Norfolk. There are walks from the doorstep along the river, across footbridges and up to Hebden which has an amazing cafe. Also recommend getting food at the Craven Arms which is a 5 mon drive. The steak and ale pie was amazing and every single dessert was outstanding- a brilliant pastry chef must work there! We ate in the bar area and there are fires dotted throughout the pub so it is warm and welcoming yet completely understated in a very refreshing way to what we are used to. The house is very warm and clean. It was comfortable in the winter. It has a gorgeous patio garden with a bbq and chairs and a wonderful sun room. It was too cold in winter to use this though. We are a family of 5 but struggled to fit around the TV as there were not enough sofa spaces. The TV also wasn’t smart, but that meant we spent time playing games and being with each other more, so more of a holiday! The dog really loved sleeping by the arga. My advice is be prepared for arga cooking- we had a Sainsbury’s delivery to the door and made lots of stews which were ready when we came back from a long walk. Really amazing place to get away from it all thank you

The Old Post Office is a lovely property that easily sleeps 8. The sitting areas are comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. There is only an Aga in the kitchen so bear this in mind if you are wanting to cook a meal during your stay. The three main bedrooms are large with king size beds that are comfortable. The forth bedroom is in the attic and is open with the hallway on the second floor. The garden is fully enclosed and is a safe place for dogs and children. The house is situated across from The Red Lion pub and hotel, which offers a warm welcome to visitors and is dog friendly. We had an evening meal there and the food was good as were the portion sizes. There was a good wine and beer selection too. There is a lovely 7 mile circular walk from Burnsall to Grassington along the River Wharfe, which I would highly recommend.

This house is absolutely beautiful, and the village is lovely as well. A picturesque setting, with plenty of room for families or friends to get together. We did have an issue on our second day that the Aga stopped working, which was frustrating. But after a few phone calls the property company confirmed we could get food from the pub and they would reimburse us, which was a satisfactory outcome. And shout out to the Red Lion across the road as they were lovely, and managed to feed a fairly large group of us even though they were very busy on a Saturday night. Overall, it's a beautiful house in a beautiful location, and I would definitely recommend.

Parking minimal and difficult if returning from a day out to find a park but space for one vehicle outside if required if no other parking in the village. Clean cottage and very warm and welcoming.
