Cute and cosy! The Old Post Office is a self-catering gem located in the lovely village of Bentley. Having been renovated from its former use as the village post office, this beautifully presented holiday cottage is perfect for couples or families looking for a pretty bolthole from which to explore from. Inside The Old Post Office there’s an open plan living area offering guests effortless space for entertaining and cooking with the fully-equipped kitchen. The woodburner takes centre stage in this generous room and creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere during the chillier season. With two bathrooms on offer there is no compromise for guests on either bedroom. There is a private rear patio area to enjoy a spot of al-fresco dining or just soaking up the peace and quiet of this lovely location.
Why we love this property: The woodburner in the open plan room creates a lovely focal point and provides a warm and welcoming retreat for guests to enjoy during their stay.

The area is home to the Suffolk Food Hall which is a nationally recognised farm shop and restaurant selling the best produce which Suffolk has to offer. Only a couple of miles away is Jimmy's Farm made famous by the BBC, which is a great attraction for all the family. In the area there are a network of guided footpaths and cycle paths to explore or why not enjoy the River Orwell by land or boat and savour a well-earned drink at the Butt and Oyster pub in Pin Mill. Alton Water recreational facilities are also within cycling distance.The Dedham Vale is only a short distance away and has the beautiful National Trust site of Flatford Mill making for a great day out with the family.
