The Old Baker House was idyllic; it had oodles of charm and all the mod coms, comfortable sleeping too. All while nestled in the wonderful village of Stonesfield. Enjoyed the newly revived local pub, make many locals and Rosamund was the best! Thanks for a perfect stay!
We had a wonderful time. The house was fully outfitted with everything we needed. Comfortable beds and a huge tub. The off street parking was such a bonus. The location was great too. Nothing in the Cotswold was too far away.

Beautiful stone cottage in a typical Cotswold village. Lovely rural views.
Quaint & cozy cottage. Had everything we needed. Enjoyed watching the sunset on the patio. Definitely need a car as no restaurants in walking distance. Ros was a great host & had detailed information on restaurants & activities in the area.
This is such a quaint cottage In a small quiet village. The owner lives next door and the cottage was clean and well presented with all towels and basic amenities in place. Prosecco and flowers was a nice touch. Be warned the stairs are quite steep in keeping with the age of the property but this shouldn’t be a problem for most. The kitchen is well equipped and there’s lots to see and do nearby.
Our stay with Ros was fabulous! The cottage was absolutely charming, very well equipped and spotless. The scones and homemade jam to welcome us were just the final touch! The driveway to the cottage is a little difficult to negotiate but pretty much everyone in the village would stop and help us. We could not have had a better stay!
My husband and I absolutely loved this place so beautiful. The cottage is really cosy and nothing was too much for the owner Roz, such a wonderful lady who gave us great tips on where and best times to visit places. The Old Bakehouse felt very homely and it was so lovely to receive homemade scones and jam on our arrival. You won't be disappointed and we shall certainly miss the place. Was certainly a great find!
We enjoyed the perfect holidays at the Old Bakery. Ros is an amazing owner and she was kind and helpful from the very beginning. The house is amazing. Can’t wait coming back soon. A perfect plan for a relaxed Cotswolds family vacation.
Rosamund nous a accueillis chaleureusement au cœur d'un joli village des Cotswolds dans charmant cottage meublé avec goût et bien équipé.
De là nous avons visité Oxford et les Cotswolds qui sont à proximité. Nous gardons un très bon souvenir de notre séjour entre amis.
We loved our stay at the Old Bakehouse for endless reasons! The home and town feel to be straight out of a movie with lovely furnishings, and glorious bedding. It is perfectly appointed with all that is needed for an enjoyable stay. We feel we have a friend in Ros, were rescued by Ian (one of the Stonesfield townspeople) when our rental car agency in Oxford was closed (our advice: go through EuroCar instead of Budget!), and enjoyed the White Horse, a local pub. We found ourselves throughout our daily travels in the Cotswolds longing to be among the authenticity in Stonesfield. We missed our chance to see local archeological treasures and walk the local paths and look forward to a return stay! PS Rosamund makes amazing scones and strawberry jam!

Tolle Unterkunft
Die Unterkunft war fantastisch und komplett und hochwertig eingerichtet wie wir es noch von keiner anderen Buchung erlebt hatten. Dazu wurden wir bei Ankunft mit frischen scones, Marmelade und Sahne empfangen. Immer wieder.

Eine schöne Woche in Stonesfield
Wir haben mit vier Personen eine Woche in diesem tollen Häuschen verbracht. Es ist viel Liebe eingerichtet und Ros, die gleich nebenan wohnt, ist eine tolle Gastgeberin. Das Haus war sauber und gut eingerichtet. Man hat einen tollen Ausblick und eine Sitzgelegenheit vor der Tür. In Stonesfield kann man kleine Einkäufe erledigen und einen guten Pub aufsuchen.Für sehr große Personen könnte die obere Etage, die einige Schrägen aufweist, jedoch problematisch sein. Wir empfehlen das Haus gerne weiter. Vielen Dank für eine tolle Woche.

Une magnifique adresse à recommander!
Superbe petit cottage décoré avec grand soin, dans une bâtisse historique. En plein coeur d'un adorable petit village de pierre et en pleine nature. Un acceuil chaleureux par la propriétaire, charmante et attentionnée. Le calme, le bon air, la situation parfaite pour explorer les Cotswolds et Oxford. Tout confort, excellent équipement. Rien à redire, que du bonheur!
