Great service arranging our holiday and a few queries from Gail
The accommodation was ideal with two bedroom on each floor , both en suite
Located in the centre of the village but off the main thoroughfare suites us ideally
Looking forward to returning in the Autumn

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.
Response from VrboOwner on 20 May 2025
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.
