Summary
The New Bakehouse is a beautifully presented retreat which sleeps six guests, in three bedrooms, with three high-end bathrooms. Finished to a high standard with elegant interiors, the property exudes style and has an abundance of modern facilities including wireless internet access, a Smart TV, well-equipped kitchen and contemporary wood burning stove. Bi-fold doors give access to the garden, and to the front of the property there is a driveway with off-street parking for three cars.
Location
The New Bakehouse is located on the outskirts of the village of Randwick and benefits from being within walking distance of two popular pubs, the Carpenters Arms and the Vine Tree Inn, along with two children’s playgrounds. Situated on a hillside in the stunning “Five Valleys” region, there are many rewarding walks and cycle routes on its doorstep including the famed Cotswold Way long distance walking trail which passes through National Trust owned Standish Wood and continues on to Haresfield Beacon, offering spectacular views from the top.
Randwick is well-placed for visiting the many historic towns of the South Cotswolds such as Painswick, Nailsworth and Cirencester, all with an enviable array of independent shops, cafes and restaurants, and nearby Stroud hosts the multi award-winning Farmers’ Market every Saturday. The South Cotswolds is also home to a number of attractions and activities including Westonbirt Arboretum, the Cotswold Water Park, a spot of afternoon tea or even a morning horseback ride. Further afield destinations such as Bath, Hereford and Oxford are within easy reach for day trips.

Booking and payment
Character Cottages is a marketing agency and we do not own any of the cottages listed on our website. We manage a proportion of cottages within our portfolio and the remaining properties are managed by a third party property manager or the property owner – your pre-arrival email will contain confirmation and contact details for your property manager. Bookings made via us form a legal agreement directly between you and the property owner.
For bookings commencing more than 10 weeks in advance, a 30% non-refundable deposit is required to confirm the booking. The balance payment is then due 10 weeks prior to arrival.
All payments are made subject to the cancellation policy set out in the standard Booking Conditions.
Security deposits
Security deposits are not required (please note that guests are still liable for any damage or additional cleaning required as a result of their actions).
Occupancy
The maximum occupancy of the property is six guests, at any point during your stay. Unauthorised over occupancy is a breach of our terms and conditions and may result in the cancellation of your booking and additional charges. Please consult us prior to booking if you wish to discuss the possibility of having more than six guests at the property.
Infants who sleep in a cot do not count towards the occupancy figure, however, due to space restrictions, the occupancy figure may only be exceeded by up to two additional infants.
Pets
Up to two well-behaved dogs are accepted, at a cost of £25 per booking per dog.
For the comfort of future guests, we ask that dogs remain downstairs, stay off the furniture and that no trace of a dog remains after your departure.
The garden is not fully enclosed and therefore dogs should be supervised when outside.
Bed linen and towels
Bed linen and towels are provided for guests.

Photographs
In order to provide you with as much detail of our properties as possible, we sometimes use wide angle photography, which can make certain rooms, or spaces, appear larger than they actually are. Wherever possible, we try to include a floorplan, with detailed dimensions of rooms and areas.
If you have any queries regarding the size of any rooms or spaces, please do not hesitate to contact us.
