Stunning location, clean, comfortable beds, perfect for big groups

Well equipped, spacious and clean. Nice towels and good water pressure. Good directions/instructions and car parking permit is useful. A few small niggles, only one key provided and one door that slammed occasionally.

Thank you for a lovely review of Bakers Rest. I'm sorry to hear there was only 1 key, there should have been another in the cottage for you, I trust you made use of the key box when your plans differed. We will get the door checked out, they are all self closing fire doors, it sounds like one is pulling closed quicker than needed. We hope to welcome you back again in the future.

all excellent; only issue is that the doors did bang very loudly and bedroom a little cool

As above. The accommodation was excellent. The only three minor issues were: 1) key box could be better labelled; 2) the doors did bang despite our attempts - not good for those downstairs (!); and 3) the bedrooms were a little cold at night.

Thank you for a lovely review of your stay at Bakers Rest. The doors are all fire doors and have a closing mechanism on them to ensure guests safety, they can be a little noisy especially if everything else is quiet. We will get someone out to look at the radiators as the rooms should be toasty warm.
