Guests say
New Bakery is a well-equipped cottage in a convenient location, ideal for exploring local attractions and enjoying a peaceful holiday. It offers comfortable rooms and a cosy patio, with a friendly pub and shop nearby. Some guests noted the need for a deep clean and minor maintenance issues.
Several guests mentioned the property could benefit from a deep clean, noting areas like under beds and skirtings. However, one review described it as very clean, indicating a generally acceptable level of cleanliness with room for improvement.
The cottage's location is praised for its proximity to attractions, ease of access to Alnwick, and nearby amenities. Road noise is noted, but it did not significantly detract from the overall positive feedback on location.
Guests found the accommodation comfortable, with a particularly comfy double bed and a pleasant patio area. Some concerns were raised about the single beds and noise levels in the morning.
The property is well-equipped, but several reviews highlighted issues with the hob, oven, and water pressure. Maintenance problems with the heating system were also mentioned, though the owner's responsiveness to issues is noted.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the property owners. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

Whilst the cottage itself was clean,We found the bathroom bin had not been emptiedThe living room chairs suit were in need of changing, not comfortable at all. We found the traffic very noisy, especially in the main bedroom

Although it was difficult to find this house on arrival, a young lad who lived nearby showed us where it was. So clearer instructions would have been helpful. The property had everything we needed and was in a great location, easy for the coast, Northumberland National Park and even a day trip to Edinburgh! One main problem was that the water pressure in the bath was useless and would’ve taken ages to run a bath, therefore we had to use the en suite shower. Although the property looked fairly clean, on closer inspection I’d say it needed a real deep clean. Otherwise all in all a great week staying here, thank you!

The cottage is well equipped and comfortable, close to the main road, allowing easy access to Alnwick, Bamburgh and Seahouses. You can hear the road noise in the bedroom, which didn't bother us as we are sound sleepers. The en suite was good with good pressure from the shower, however the same can't be said for the bath the water trickles out taking forever to fill. The kitchen had plenty of utensils, however the fridge/freezer was on the small side. The oven worked well but the hob was not very good at all, the plates do not heat up very well, making them difficult to use. The cottage overall was good, but needs these couple of things replacing to make it better.
