Guests say

The Old Bakery is a well-received cottage, praised for its beautiful setting, welcoming owners, and dog-friendly environment. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, the extensive gardens, and the thoughtful touches like welcome gifts. While some minor issues are mentioned, the overall sentiment is positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.

Most guests found the cottage to be clean and well-presented. However, a few mentioned cobwebs and a musty smell, suggesting room for improvement in thoroughness.

The location is generally praised for its quietness and proximity to local attractions and amenities, though a few guests noted it was a bit secluded, requiring some driving.

The cottage is described as comfortable and cosy, with a warm atmosphere. Some guests mentioned low ceilings and dampness as minor discomforts.

While the reviews highlight a well-stocked kitchen and lovely garden, there are concerns about maintenance and safety in the garden area, and a lack of certain amenities like a washing machine. Due to mixed feedback, a precise score cannot be determined.

Guests frequently mention the thoughtful touches by the owners, such as welcome gifts and provisions for both humans and pets. It should be noted that such gestures, while appreciated, may vary and are not guaranteed.

    Our dog really liked the extensive gardens. .

  • Melanie

    The owners were lovely and friendly and helpful too. We loved the big garden as did our dog. The area was very peaceful and I would have liked to stay longer. The only negative was that the fridge is very small, you can’t stock up fridge items so meant lots of trips to the shops. Still a lovely home from home and so great to find somewhere so dog friendly.

    Fantastic garden, great for dogs and children or just to wonder around and relax. Felt very welcome with lots of information about the area.
