• "Property was on the whole a lovely homely house."

  The lounge was comfortable, the garden was beautiful, beds very comfortable. However the listing clearly stated 4 bedrooms. There are 2 en-suites + one small shower room for 2 bedrooms to share and the shower in this shower room was around 5’6 high - so fine for the 2 ladies sharing who were 5’4 but unusable for the men who were over 6’ so had to wait for someone to finish in one of the en-suites. The 4th ‘bathroom’ was just a downstairs WC. The doorways and beams were low but we had been told in advance so were forewarned. The owner was very helpful and pleasant.

  Thank you for your feedback Diane. I'm glad you had a comfortable and warm, 'homely' stay (albeit much of it spent indoors) due to the inclement weather! I hope that at least your dog ' Lottie' managed to enjoy the garden. Bakehouse Farm does have 4 bedrooms. 2 bedrooms are ensuite and the other 2 bedrooms share an upstairs bathroom plus there is a convenient downstairs toilet located just off the entrance hall. Bakehouse Farm is a Grade 2 listed property. The downstairs areas in particular have some low doorways and a low beam characteristic of the period Property Owner

• "Mandy was a welcoming and helpful host."

  The description should have pointed out the low doors and beams, the rather steep and awkward stairs, plus small steps to and from living room. Not ideal with 6 tall men and one woman with mobility problems. However we did enjoy our family week

  Dear Mary. So glad to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay at Bakehouse Farm, The property is listed as Grade 2 and includes many features indicative of a building with origins dating from the 1600s and one that has been added to over successive centuries. The downstairs ensuite bedroom is available for people with mobility issues and the low beam in the living room is clearly identified as such However, thank you for for your additional recommendations which have been noted.

• "Lovely cosy cottage in a quiet location."

  Mod cons in kitchen included washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, freezer, oven and 4 induction hobs. The bedrooms are all a decent size, not at all cramped, two of them en-suite, with an additional family shower room upstairs and a downstairs toilet. The living room is also an excellent size, with plenty of comfy seating and a separate snug just off the living room. The mature garden is huge and was excellent for enjoying the last of the summer sun. Mandy, the host, was welcoming and provided suggestions for nearby attractions to visit.

  Dear Wendy Thank you very much for your feedback. I'm delighted your week here was a sunny one (Indian summer!) and that you managed to walk and explore locally the Lyde gardens and (Princes Risborough / Chinnor) steam train and also journey further afield - Bletchley Park etc Property Owner

• "Bakehouse Farm House is a well designed space, incorporating modern, beautiful and easily accessible facilities, mixed with the original building and the newer parts."

  The kitchen is well equipped, making it possible to cook and entertain six people, or more!? There is a ground floor bedroom, with an ensuite bathroom, a ground floor WC, 3 more bedrooms upstairs, one with a huge ensuite. Huge fireplace and gorgeous Aga woodburner is in the sitting room, where a huge seating area and seriously big coffee table sits. Gorgeous wooden floors compliment the 400 year old oak beams and wall frames. The garden is huge and completely enclosed, so wonderful for children and dogs - ours charged around the space happily. Lots of garden furniture and a barbecue for outdoor dining etc. The beds were very comfortable, as were the dining chairs! There is masses of storage space and walk-in wardrobes. Parking car is easy, and the property is easy to find. There's a great pub a short walk up the road serving lovely food, with a good range of beers and wines. A lovely circular walk takes you around the village and through local countryside. The owner lives next door, and we had the best greeting and welcome. There are a couple of Yew trees in the garden, so be aware of dropped berries.

  Thank you for your feedback Alison. I'm glad you appreciated the age and many unique (some may say 'quirky') features Bakehouse Farm has to offer and that everyone - humans and dog alike - got to enjoy the large outdoor garden. I'm sure our local PH (The Lions of Bledlow) will be delighted to receive such a positive review too! Property Owner

  We all enjoyed the big garden and watching the steam train across the field at the weekend. Mandy, the host, tailormade a list of suggested outings and was on hand to recommend walks and places to visit within walking distance. She could not have been more helpful while we were there, and we appreciated her phone call the day before to answer any questions that might have arisen on both sides.

  Dear llys (Joy) Patrick and family I was happy to prepare you a 'tailormade list of suggested outings' as there is so much to do and see both locally and within a short drive away. The steam train is a fabulous few hours spent and enjoyed by all ages as is Beaconscott model village, Roald Dahl museum etc The garden at Bakehouse Farm is a great area for both relaxation and play!

• "Bakehouse Farm is a real gem."

  We came for a family wedding and had been told by my sister who lives nearby, to book it as it looked lovely and has great walks from the doorstep. After driving our hire car from Luton airport with my partner and 2 elderly relatives all thinking they knew better than google maps, it was a great relief to leave the car and relax into such a beautiful old house in a village, all of which seems to have been untouched by time. This house is full of lovely, ancient and unspoilt features and has a very special welcoming atmosphere. It's also amazingly clean, especially given all its little nooks and shelves. Mandy had kindly called me a day or two beforehand to explain the things we needed to know. When we arrived (an hour later than I'd advised her) she gave us a warm welcome, showed us into the house and then left us to recover from the journey. She had provided good written information about the house and recommended the village pub just a short stroll away. As we walked there in the evening sunshine, we passed under a railway bridge just as there was a hoot from the steam engine above. The barman gave us another warm welcome. The pub is just as beautiful and full of character as the house, with tables on the green, and cosy inglenooky tables inside. The food was delicious. The surrounding countryside is very green with lots of hedges full of birds singing and other wildlife, pretty fields, woodland and some hills - well worth staying here for a proper length of holiday. Mandy left us in peace but was on-hand next-door to help us with any questions and came over very quickly to help us when we were too dopey to turn on the hob. We spent a lot of time drinking coffee and laughing in the sunshine at the garden table and we may have pinched some maple leaves and forget-me-nots to adorn our wedding hats - sorry Mandy - and thank you for a perfect stay at Bakehouse Farm - we just wished it had been for longer!

  Dear Juliet Thank you for taking the time to share your feelings about your stay. You've really captured the essence of Bakehouse Farm and of the lovely village of Bledlow, our PH and the surrounding Countryside. It was a delight to welcome you all and I hope to see you again when you next visit family in the area. Property Owner

• "We had a really lovely stay at Bakehouse farm."

  The cottage is beautiful and the children loved running around in the big garden, exploring the area and watching the steam train go by. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to do any of the walks nearby, the furthest we walked was up the hill to the local pub! The cottage is in a great location - we managed to visit Windsor, London and Marlow. Mandy was welcoming and friendly. I would thoroughly recommend this cottage and hope to return.

  The Icknield Line steam train is a great attraction and holds a fascination for visitors (and locals alike) who either love to ride or wave as it puffs by so close-by to Bakehouse Farm our cricket club and local pub. All on public footpaths and all great viewing points. Accessed from the Cottage's back door the enclosed garden is safe and secure for both active children and curious dogs (or vice versa!)

• "The house was lovely - beautifully decorated for Christmas - and very much as described in the details on the website."

  The owner was extremely helpful and could not have been more accommodating. There were a few niggles - mostly due to the age of the property (which is part of the charm), though the fridge is rather small if using the house to its full capacity. There was also a lot of pyrex/tupperware and also glasses - possibly a few more than really necessary - and we had to move some things around to make any space for food we had brought with us. I would recommend reviewing the number of these items and asking the cleaners to leave a few cupboards/drawers clear for food items to be stored. Just a personal opinion and did not deter from the pleasure of our stay in any way!

  Thank you for your feedback Linzi Bakehouse Farm is a Grade 2 listed cottage with some original rooms dating from the 1650s and possess an old traditional charm that makes it 'magical' and especially beautiful during the Christmas season We've taken on board your comments and an additional fridge now resides in the kitchen and a few items of glassware / tupperware removed!

  The garden was great for the kids to play in and for barbecuing. The local pub is only short walk away and has great outdoor space and good food. The ceilings are a bit low in the living room, but other than that the house was very comfortable and clean.

  Our private, secure garden is a hidden gem and a perfect place to play for children and dogs alike (and where adults can comfortably relax and chill out) There is one large beam in the living room that is indeed low. Testament to Bakehouse Farm's age (this part of the Cottage was originally an 18th Century Barn) plus the fact that people were genearlly shorter some 300 years ago!

Would thoroughly recommend.

  Thank you for your feedback Susan. Bakehouse Farm is rather unusual and quirky in that its original 1650 origins have been added to, at various points in time, over the last (almost) 400 years to create an interesting combination of interconnected rooms (some might initially consider a mini labyrinth) The village is also delightful with the Lyde (aquatic) gardens, a Grade 1 listed Church dating form mainly the 12th and 13th centuries, our local PH and cricket pitch and pavillion all within easy walking distance Property Owner

  The stairs are very steep, and small steps, so extra care does need to be taken. Comfy beds, excellent amount of bathroom and toilet facilities, well equipped kitchen too with excellent view onto the garden, and adjoining field. The Princes & Risborough railway runs at bottom of the next field, is just visible from the kitchen, many bushes and trees hiding it, at the bottom of the garden much better view, look out Sundays and Thursdays. We had an excellent time, there is so much to do in the area, Whiteleaf Cross, Roald Dahl museum at great Missenden, Windsor was only an hours drive, Bekonscot Model Village, our time was filled, one week was not enough. The owner Mandy lives next door, she gave us a wonderful welcome on arrival, even telephoned the day before our stay to advise of roadworks that meant a diversion to reach the property. Couldn't ask for more than that. Thank you.

• "We had a lovely stay at Bakehouse Farm, we were very lucky with the weather so could make the most of the beautiful and fully enclosed garden."

  Mandy the owner lives next door and was very friendly and helpful, we had an electric issue on arrival which she was keen to get resolved but was respectful of us being in the cottage at all times - this didn’t impact our stay. The blinds to the owner’s accommodation were closed as soon as we arrived so the garden was completely private, there were plenty of chairs and cushions available for us to use so we were able to make the most of the weather and enjoy the peaceful garden. The cottage has lots of character, dating back to the 16th Century and there was plenty of space for us to spread out. The beds were comfortable and the wifi coped well - we had two young adults with us so this is essential! The kitchen was well equipped, as previously mentioned there are two corner carousels that you need to push the door to access (I wouldn’t have realised!). The dog loved his stay, was made to feel welcome and enjoyed chasing the local rabbits out of the garden each morning (he is 9 and has no chance of catching them). There are some nice walks from the village and nearby, we visited Whiteleaf cross, Wendover Woods and Dunstable Downs and had a delicious lunch at The Crown in nearby Radnage. Things to note: The building is very old so some ceilings and doorways are very low, my husband and son are not particularly tall but bashed their heads several times. Also whilst there is a lovely downstairs bedroom with en-suite there are lots of odd steps internally downstairs due to the age and nature of building being extended over the centuries. If you have poor mobility where one or two steps would be an issue then this may not be suitable.

Four good sized bedrooms, comfy beds, lovely bathrooms, fab inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove in the lounge, well equipped kitchen - we could not find fault with anything. We came to celebrate Mum's birthday - 5 adults, a teenager and two small dogs. The cottage was cosy and warm, WIFI worked in all rooms, fully enclosed garden so we were comfortable letting the dogs out at night.

• "The owner Mandy welcomed us on arrival and was always on hand if needed."

  A few suggestions were offered of places to visit and we also used the information provided in the welcome folder. We were able to book tickets for a steam day on the Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway and everyone was delighted that Mandy was in the garden waving when we steamed past. The property was spotlessly clean and plenty large enough for 6 guests. We did struggle for fridge space on occasion, however put some of the items in the freezer and just cooked from frozen or remembered to defrost. The doors and some of the beams are low, but for a property originally built around 1600 it’s to be expected, you don’t tend to bump your head twice. The kitchen was clean and we didn’t generally want for anything that wasn’t there apart from some scales, the cast iron ones sufficed but we’re very heavy to move. We used the wood burning stove on the first evening. Our elderly parents were in the ground floor bedroom with ensuite but found that once the living room and dining room were up to temperature the heating went off and this bedroom was cooler than the rest of the house. It needed a bit of balancing act with the heating to ensure the radiator was on just before they went to bed and got up in the morning. There was no welcome pack on arrival so ensure you take essentials. Princes Risborough is only just up the road by car and has a large M&S Simply Food, Tesco Superstore etc. Our two dogs enjoyed the large enclosed rear garden, unfortunately however whilst the weather was kind it was not warm enough to spend a great deal of time outside. There is a vacuum cleaner in the cupboard which was handy with a border collie, and so many properties don’t provide one. We had a great week, found plenty to do, however book restaurants early. We found the Black Goo Cafe and Tap Room in Thame, the cakes are amazing and the portions enormous. We had takeaway and we’re still eating the slices 3 days later. My only comment is that we had two cars and it’s unlikely that you’d be able to park a 3rd on the driveway without blocking in the owners vehicle. We had a great week, and even visited Bicester Shopping Village where we haven’t been for nearly 25 years and would suggest getting there early.

  Mandy happily chatted on the phone to resolve some queries before we travelled, greeted us when we arrived and was very friendly and helpful. She lives adjacent to the cottage and was on hand in case of any issues but left us to just enjoy the property. The garden was fabulous and although it is overlooked by the owners property, their blinds remained closed the whole time we were there so our privacy was respected. It is in a lovely location with a good pub at the top of the lane, serving excellent food. Locals were extremely friendly and we were invited to and welcomed with open arms at the local cricket club....Good beer and a pub quiz. Plenty of trails to follow for good walks. Previous comments stated the kitchen was ill equipped. We found this not to be the case....but check out the concealed carousel corner cupboards and the drawer beneath the cooker.

  None of the comments below spoiled our holiday but were rather a surprise based on previous accommodation booked through Sykes and sister companies. The kitchen was not up to catering for 8 people, only one small frying pan and fridge small for holding food and drink for 8. We ended up being a party of 5 and basically had to shop daily. The plumbing was inadequate only one toilet flushed successfully, in a modern world this is not good enough. Also water to taps plumbed incorrectly especially kitchen tap and downstairs toilet. The lighting was also a bit of a challenge - 3 switches in dining room only one of which did anything. A spot in the inglenook came on and off to suit itself.

  It was perfect for us except that we had to do all the cooking and the kitchen was a bit small for that. Otherwise, it was a perfect location. The backyard (garden) was very large, giving my sons plenty of room to workout and extra room for us all to hangout. There were plenty of comfy lawn chairs that aren't shown in any of the pictures. The landlady, Mandy, was beyond friendly and helpful. Beds were comfortable. The living room had sufficient sitting space for all of us. One warning, this is an historic property which means it was built when people were much shorter than my 6 ft sons. There are beams throughout the house that you need to watch out for or there will be some bumps on heads. It was well worth that risk, though. Thanks so much for everything, Mandy!!! I hope we can come back some day when we are allowed to be out and about!

  There was only parking for 2 vehicles not 4 as stated due to owner living next door and using spaces. The pictures on the app do not show that the rear of the owner's house is part of the boundary of the rear garden and her windows look right into the garden so no privacy. There are 13.5 tog duvets on beds which was far too warm for summer and in 35° heatwave. No cot supplied but accepted booking including an infant. House not suitable for anyone with visual impairment or limited mobility due to uneven flooring and steep stairs. Cooking facilities not adequate for cooking for up to 10 people. Would not book again due to lack of important information and very cleverly angled photos giving false impressions.

The kitchen could have been better equipped - a bread knife or a sharp knife would have helped.
