The Old Post Office is a pleasant, three-storey, semi-detached house situated in Shipton By Beningbrough, York, boasting a hot tub and two Smart TVs. York less than 6 miles; Harrogate less than 23 miles; Leeds less than 32 miles.

The Old Post Office is a pleasant, three-storey, semi-detached house situated in Shipton By Beningbrough, North Yorkshire. Once a bustling rural post office, it first opened in 1848 and closed its doors in 2006 amid nationwide closures. Just six miles from the vibrant city of York, it sits in a historically rich area with nearby National Trust attractions and stunning lavender fields in summer – perfect for a restful week-long getaway.

This spacious property comfortably sleeps 14 and boasts a relaxing hot tub, two Smart TVs, and off-road parking for two cars. After a day of exploring, return to your charming haven and freshen up in the first floor shower room or second-floor bathroom, or take advantage of the additional ground floor WC. Unwind in the snug or lounge in the comfortable sitting room, where you can enjoy a film and cosy up with loved ones.

The well-equipped kitchen/diner, featuring a range cooker, electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge, and fridge/freezer, makes it easy to prepare delicious meals to enjoy while you gather around the large dining table that sits 14. For an added touch of luxury, step outside and sink into the bubbling hot tub, watching the sun set over the picturesque village. Then, top off the day with a drink at The Dawnay Arms, the village pub - less than less than 1 miles away! As night falls, retreat to one of the beautifully appointed super-king-size, double, twin, or single beds, situated on the first and second floor, ensuring a restful sleep for all guests.

During the day explore the local area or venture 10 minutes’ drive to the historic city of York, where history buffs can marvel at JORVIK Viking Centre, York City Walls, York Castle Museum, and the National Trust's Treasurer's House. If you’re up for more adventure, take a short drive to Leeds to admire the stunning collections at Leeds Art Gallery, explore Leeds City Museum, visit Leeds Cathedral, and catch a show at First Direct Arena. Scenic and city adventures wait at your doorstep when you book a stay at The Old Post Office.

The Old Post Office invites you to unwind, explore, and immerse yourself in the charm of North Yorkshire. Book your stay today and experience a true British national treasure.
