It's interesting how different people's impressions and expectations are of places they stay in. I was clearly taken in my the look of the restaurant and the reviews and classification given to the place, and assumed that the rooms would be of a similar quality. The restaurant meal was excellent - and I would recommend it. The restaurant surroundings also... more

An up market B&B, thus facilities are limited. Rooms was more than decent & tremendous value. No parking. Having to use rear door a minor inconvenience. Free wi-fi. Where the Old Bakery comes into it's own is the qualaity of the restaurant. Breakfast v. good, but the dinner excellent. The tasting menu holds your interest through the nine courses. Servings... more

We have just returned from a most enjoyable overnight stay at The Old Bakery; wish it could have been for longer. The 'Special package ' of Dinner B& B for the two of us was, we think, excellent value. Our room (No 3 ) was lovely....plenty of room & thoughtful touches like home-made biscuits..delicious! Another plus was that the bathroom... more

We have stayed at the Old Bakery before and enjoyed it very much. We enjoyed our stay this time, too, but it seems to have lost a little sheen. We like our room fine (although would prefer sheets/blanket to the duvet, which is always too warm and leaving bare feet). However, there are a number of noticable points that could... more

We have just returned from a weekend stay at The Old Bakery. We stayed in Room 4, the attic room, located through a door painted to look like a bookcase and up some quite steep steps! Although the room was not huge, it had everything we required including an excellent tea and coffee tray with speciality teas and homemade biscuits,... more

What a great B&B. Personable host. Excellent breakfast. The location is exceptional too - in the old part of the city. 10 minute walk to the Cathedral. The dinner there too was fabulous. If you're a cheese lover I'd recommend an appetizer and a large cheese plate. Overall you can't do much better than this. more

A restaurant with rooms, this B&B was great with a reasonable price. One of those rare places in the UK that charges per room rather than per person. Atmosphere was welcoming but not overwhelming. Guests are introduced to the accommodation and allowed to get on with their stay. Immaculately clean bathroom with a comfortable bath and piping hot water. Very... more

Despite the fact that the guest house had the Times restaurant critics in and they were all on tenterhooks, the service and the food were great. The chef's Italian but no pasta/pizza - cuts of meat/fish and beautifuly cooked. The rooms were clean and well equipped and the bed comfortable. Nice thick towels too. The Bakery is set in a... more

My stay at The Old Bakery was a mixture of business and pleasure and it turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. The food was wonderful and the whole place very quaint. It was so convenient for the town centre and the main historical interests, I could walk to the said places. The staff were so friendly and helpful... more
