Most guests found The Old Bakery to be of a high standard, though there were isolated reports of insufficient cleaning, such as crisps on the floor and unclean kitchen appliances. These seem to be exceptions rather than the norm.
The cottage's location is praised for its convenience to local amenities. However, several guests noted the busy and noisy road, which affected their stay, particularly at night. Parking is also mentioned as hit or miss.
Guests frequently mention the comfortable beds, underfloor heating, and well-appointed spaces, suggesting a high level of comfort. The only detractor is the noise from the road for some guests.
The property is consistently described as well-equipped and thoughtfully furnished, with a kitchen that is a pleasure to cook in and modern features throughout. The mention of a board games cupboard and cookbooks indicates good maintenance and facilities.
The owners are commended for their thoughtfulness, with guests mentioning a welcome pack and attention to detail. While such gifts are warmly received, it's important to note that these are subject to availability and not guaranteed.

Mrs Cox
Lovely cottage, perfect for popping to the many pubs, cafes and restaurants in Newlyn. Five minute saunter to the beach and the art gallery. Only problem is the noise from the traffic, which starts very early in the morning and even with the windows closed is very loud, but having stayed here before we knew what to expect. I would stay again. The beds are very comfy and the cottage clean. Swanky shower room!

Mrs Hedges
The cottage was fabulous, lovely beds and fantastic bathroom. Owners have gone above and beyond with little touches. Only drawback is the very busy road right next to the Cottage which can be noisy am/pm in the bedrooms.Locals we found not terribly friendly to holidaymakers.

Extremely comfortable and well equipped cottage. The biggest problem is the really busy and noisy road. It is impossible to sleep with the windows open, even a small amount. Some of the locals are as happy as someone on death row. We won't be returning.
