Guests say
New Bakery cottage offers a comfortable and well-equipped base for exploring Alnwick and the surrounding Northumberland area. Guests appreciate its convenient location near local amenities and attractions, as well as the peaceful setting and good value for money. While the property is generally clean and cosy, some guests noted that a deeper clean and minor maintenance would enhance the experience. The cottage is praised for its home-from-home feel, though a few found the road noise noticeable and the kitchen appliances in need of updating. Overall, it provides a pleasant stay for those wishing to explore the region.
Several guests found the cottage clean on arrival, but multiple reviews mention the need for a deeper clean, particularly under beds, skirting boards, and curtain tops. Some minor oversights, such as an unemptied bin, were also noted.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to Alnwick, the coast, and local amenities such as a pub and shop. Its convenience for exploring Northumberland is a consistent positive, though some mention road noise.
Guests generally found the cottage comfortable, with positive comments on the beds and living spaces. However, some noted discomfort with the single beds and living room chairs, and a few were disturbed by road noise in the mornings.
The cottage is well-equipped with utensils and essentials, but several guests reported issues with the electric hob, water pressure in the bath, and occasional heating problems. Appliances are functional but could benefit from updating.
There are no mentions of welcome gifts or extra thoughtful touches in the reviews, so a score cannot be provided for this category.

Fantastic location and great value too. On bus route to Alnwick and beyond. Lovely cafe and pub just 2 minutes walk from the cottage, very friendly as are the neighbours. The cottage is well equipped with some quirky additions! The seatingc in the living room could do with a wee upgrade. Slept well even with the traffic rumbling past from 6am. We would definitely come back.
