The Post House

I currently work quite regularly in the area and it has taken me some time to find somewhere to stay that would work as my preferred choice, and I think I may have. The rates are pretty good for the standard of bed and breakfast offered. Second, the location is on a quiet street and the site has gated access, so pretty secure. These are important things. Next the breakfast. You'll see a photo of the menu options in the traveller photos, to give you an idea, but I'm not sure it will fully prepare most people from the standard and presentation of what will arrive. Way above typical B&B standards, with plenty of cereal, fruit, yoghurt and juice to accompany your choice. The breakfast room is also a very pleasant little spot. Coffee is filter variety. The only room I have stayed in so far was comfortable, clean and warm. The hospitality tray was well stocked with a range of options, the wifi worked very well and the bathroom with shower, although small, was clean. The range of toiletries was very good, the water was hot and shower pressure was great. Towels were clean thick and fluffy. The owner resides across the courtyard, so you don't need to worry about bothering any family business of your B&B host as you access and egress. Access to the rooms upstairs was via a staircase, so if that's a problem for you, this might not be for you, otherwise it is everything you could ask for, and bit more.

We were visiting nearby Hugglescote for a 90th birthday party and decided on The Post House. Everything was perfect, secure gated parking, lovely room with everything you could possibly need and more, excellent breakfast and a host who really knows how to look after you. We will definitely stay again when next in the area.

Had a perfect stay at The Post House in Ibstock. Susan made us very welcome. Lovely room. Very comfortable bed. Great selection on the tea/coffee tray and toiletries in the en suite. Breakfast was fantastic. Can't wait to go back! Tom and Anne

Very comfortable stay, everything clean and welcoming. Susan was very helpful with early arrivals. Breakfast really tasty and plentiful with good choices. Would thoroughly recommend a stay here - not far from National Memorial Arboretum.

Our go to stopover in Ibstock..wonderful hosts..lovely room which was immaculate..warm and cisy too..great breakfast with a lovely selection on offet ..but best of all for us..the private gated parking. Good eateries within walking distance

Needing somewhere to stay while attending a nearby equestrian event, we struck lucky with the Post House. It is a guest house in the small town of Ibstock and has about 6 rooms and private parking. The week before we had stayed in central London and paid more than twice the price for a much smaller and less comfortable room. There was great attention to detail with plentiful wardrobe space and towels for the en suite bathroom, tea and coffee making facilities with biscuits and even a bar of chocolate each! The choice at breakfast was superb, while our hostess made sure we were able to eat well even though we had to rush off early to the event. If we attend a competition in the area again, we know where to stay!
