Enjoyable stay at The Old Bakehouse

Stayed for 2 nights at this lovely B&B. Steve, the host, gave us a warm, friendly greeting when we arrived. He told us we could make use of the guest sitting room & were welcome to use the record player if we wanted to as he had a selection of vinyl records. We didn't get a chance to do this but it was great having the records playing at breakfast. Our room was nice & bright. Lovely tea tray with tea bags, coffee bags, etc, fresh water & biscuits. Toiletries are provided along with nice fluffy towels. We ate in the pub opposite the B&B, The Kingfisher, the first night & had a good meal. It was very busy but the service was good. At breakfast we opted for a full English which was very tasty with locally sourced ingredients. There was also a selection of cereals, fruit juices, fruit & preserves, tea & coffee. There is no private allocated parking but there are plenty of places to park free very close by, we never had any trouble finding a spot. Steve was a great host, very friendly & helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We enjoyed our stay & would not hesitate to stay again if we were in the area.

Brilliant accommodation, breakfast and location. Directly opposite a very good local with a good range of food and drink. Would help if the Pubs clientele were a little quieter when exiting at closing time but not detracting from a probable return trip to the Old Bakehouse.

Definitely an entry in the book of good B&Bs

We stayed here for two nights, the initial observation was of a well restored building in a tidy little square. Steve, the host welcomed us with his partner Fiona. He showed us the dining and guest sitting room (very nice) and gave us a brief run down on the buildings' history. our room was allocated and this proved to be a recently decorated and refurbished room (as are all the rooms) with an en suite bathroom/toilet. There were the usual tea/coffee making facilities (milk in pouches not the normal uht stuff!).The bed proved to be comfortable and there was a wardrobe/cupboard for hanging clothes. Breakfast was excellent, with locally sourced bacon, sausage (superb) and eggs, etc. Coffee flowed in plentiful supply. Taken as a whole we enjoyed our stay and would certainly choose The Old Bakehouse should we return to this area.

The Old Bakehouse is top-notch

Ett helt fantastiskt B&B! Fina, rena och fräscha , personligt inredda rum. Servicen var av högsta kvalitet. Värdparet tar sig dessutom tid att fråga vad man önskar sig till frukost. Kan varmt rekommendera detta underbart trevliga lilla B&B!
