Bakehouse Farm is a charming and characterful cottage, praised for its comfortable accommodation, beautiful garden, and historical charm. Guests appreciate the welcoming and helpful owner, the property's cleanliness, and the delightful location offering access to local walks and a friendly village pub. The spaciousness and well-equipped kitchen are noted, although some guests mention the kitchen size and equipment could be improved for large groups.
The property is consistently described as very clean, with specific mentions of spotless conditions. One review noted it was 'cottage with dogs clean' rather than 'Covid clean', but this seems an isolated view set against the overall feedback.
The location is highly praised for its beauty, quietness, and access to local walks and a good pub. The village's charm and proximity to various attractions contribute to the high rating.
The property is frequently described as comfortable, with comfy beds and a cosy atmosphere. However, some guests mention low ceilings and uneven floors due to the property's age, which could impact comfort for taller individuals or those with mobility issues.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the garden and well-equipped kitchen. However, some guests felt the kitchen was too small for large groups, and there were comments about inadequate fridge space and cooking facilities for the number of guests.
While many reviews mention the owner's helpfulness and the property's well-equipped nature, there are no specific references to gifts or special thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.

Lovely, friendly and accommodating owner. Outside space is huge, local pub excellent. Would happily stay again.

The cottage is beautiful and the children loved running around in the big garden, exploring the area and watching the steam train go by. Unfortunately, we didnât have time to do any of the walks nearby, the furthest we walked was up the hill to the local pub! The cottage is in a great location - we managed to visit Windsor, London and Marlow. Mandy was welcoming and friendly. I would thoroughly recommend this cottage and hope to return.

We came for a family wedding and had been told by my sister who lives nearby, to book it as it looked lovely and has great walks from the doorstep. After driving our hire car from Luton airport with my partner and 2 elderly relatives all thinking they knew better than google maps, it was a great relief to leave the car and relax into such a beautiful old house in a village, all of which seems to have been untouched by time. This house is full of lovely, ancient and unspoilt features and has a very special welcoming atmosphere. It's also amazingly clean, especially given all its little nooks and shelves. Mandy had kindly called me a day or two beforehand to explain the things we needed to know. When we arrived (an hour later than I'd advised her) she gave us a warm welcome, showed us into the house and then left us to recover from the journey. She had provided good written information about the house and recommended the village pub just a short stroll away. As we walked there in the evening sunshine, we passed under a railway bridge just as there was a hoot from the steam engine above. The barman gave us another warm welcome. The pub is just as beautiful and full of character as the house, with tables on the green, and cosy inglenooky tables inside. The food was delicious. The surrounding countryside is very green with lots of hedges full of birds singing and other wildlife, pretty fields, woodland and some hills - well worth staying here for a proper length of holiday. Mandy left us in peace but was on-hand next-door to help us with any questions and came over very quickly to help us when we were too dopey to turn on the hob. We spent a lot of time drinking coffee and laughing in the sunshine at the garden table and we may have pinched some maple leaves and forget-me-nots to adorn our wedding hats - sorry Mandy - and thank you for a perfect stay at Bakehouse Farm - we just wished it had been for longer!
