  It would have been of great benefit to have had a pack, with a list of instructions for the use of the t.

  V. and heating and local information such as doctor etc. The owner had to be telephoned several times on these matters. There was no central heating at the start of our stay, and finally we had to ask for the system to be looked at.This was done but left us with no way of adjustment. So we felt cold when we came back after a day out. We did assume [but wrongly] that there would be a lavatory in the en suite. This meant going up or down a flight of stairs to use this facility - not a good idea for old or very young children. There were beds enough for 6, but 6 in the house would have been a nightmare. The shower needs attention. It dripped constantly, and the tray was cracked and taped over. Not up to muster. We chose not to use it. With guests in the house it was difficult. The dishwasher had no salt and none was provided. The blinds at the windows need urgent attention. Now to outside. The bushes are very overgrown around the front door area thus making it gloomy and access to the key box a bit of a challenge, The side parking was inhibited by over grown greenery, and the back gate was not secure. The' home from home 'experience was NOT 'home from home' for us and we left 24 hours early.

  Had a great stay at The Old Bakery for New Year - we were a group of 7 adults, 2 toddlers and 2 babies.

  Great village with a handy store less than 1 minutes walk away and local pubs too Spotlessly clean and everything we needed Kitchen is very well equipped Only things I would have changed - A bath mat would have been useful as the bath is very slippery for little ones An earlier check in would have been great - I understand re the cleaning, but, arriving in the dark at 5pm with 4 little ones wasn’t easy as it was a bit tricky to find the key box - I know there is a photo of its location in the information pack, but maybe sending the photo with the email when you send the key code would be helpful. We would definitely stay here again and would certainly recommend it.

  Very comfortable and well equipped, our party enjoyed it very much.

  Excellent childrens playground nearby which was enjoyed by teh kids. 1. The instructions said to bring tea towels and oven mits, which seemed a bit bizzare, which I did, but wasn't necessary as they were provided. 2. We managed to lock ourselves out by locking the kitchen door on the inside, leaving by the front door, but taking the kitchen door key. Obviously our fault, but it could have been avoided if each key set covered both doors ! Fortunately the emergency service worked well even on a Sunday evening and we were back inside in a little over an hour.

  We had a great stay in The Old Bakery.

  The house was clean and comfortable. Given that the house sleeps 10 people we felt the kitchen would have benefited from having a few extra items - a teapot, water jug, serving dishes and enough table mats/coasters for the number of guests (we could only find 6). The main bedroom could do with a set of drawers for clothes and some more coat storage would also be helpful (the coat stand in the kitchen diner was broken). Hook Norton is a lovely village. We enjoyed trips to the Sun Inn and the brewery. The cafe in the brewery does a great breakfast!

  The property and parking were very easy to find and there were numerous instructions to help.

  The house was perfect for a weekend stay with a pretty spacious kitchen and living area. Aldi is only 5 mins walk away. This is a great spot for exploring the Cotswolds. I think this may also be the only 6 bed house in the area. Sally was great and was even very understanding about us having smashed a couple of glasses. She very kindly provided crisps and a bottle of wine and also towels and soaps throughout the house. Great weekend.
