I really enjoyed having your family stay at Country bakehouse. Accommodation Valerie. Thank you for the emails and your letter of thanks also. I am glad you enjoyed the little extras I was able to share for your breakfasts & afternoon tea and also your meal at the Hotel & local store. If you are planning to come to SA again it will be a pleasure to have you stay. Carol

We stayed two nights in this lovely quirky cosy house. The host, Carol, really is the loveliest person, she told us many interesting facts about spalding. So many lovely little touches at this place, just loved it!

So lovely to meet you and have your family stay at Country bakehouse Accommodation. We have such cold nights in Winter so happy to hear you were cosy & warm. Glad to hear you enjoyed my character residence and thank you for leaving everything so clean. Carol

Surprisingly good
Spalding is a very remote town but this property was surprisingly good. It is lovingly maintained, very clean, and has lots of thoughtful touches. Such as the continental breakfast, fruit bowl, and bathroom essentials. It also had games and dvds for the kids, and a nice sunny spot in the garden to sit with a cup of tea. Everything we needed.

Lovely to have you stay John. We didn't get much time to get to know each other & I'm sure Dexta wanted to join in too. I am happy that you were comfortable & had a good look around the Mid North. You were lucky with the weather as the big storm & hail came after you left. Thank you for leaving everything clean & tidy. Carol

Lovely experience!
Carol was wonderful, her attention and care about little things was much appreciated. She found out a couple of the group are allergic to gluten so she took extra care to get bread they could eat. She was warm, friendly and couldn't do enough for us! Thank you Carol we had a wonderful time!

Thank you for choosing to stay at Country bakehouse. It was lovely to meet your group and have you stay for Easter. It was nice that the warmer weather held out so you could get out & about to enjoy the Mid North. Thank you also Sally, for leaving everything clean & tidy. Carol

It was great to have you stay Wilhelmina and so happy that you were comfortable and enjoyed your stay. I always enjoy having small groups of ladies. I found a new cork screw identical to yours, to replace the old one so hopefully one day you can return to Country bakehouse & use it. Thank you for being so tidy & clean in the residence. Thank you also for your great review.

It was lovely to meet you & have your friend stay as well Hannah. It was so nice that the children enjoyed their teen retreat in the shop area. The girls were just the right age to have a bit of independence & do some imaginary play acting. The Clare valley is great for adults & children & Burra is also a must as it's so historic & a great day out there is interesting for children also. Thank you for choosing to stay at Country bakehouse Hannah.

Good but not great
A well-presented and well-equipped place, but not actually very dog friendly as they are asked to stay in the backyard (one side of the fencing isn't dog-proof though) and sleep in the laundry (which is detached from the house). Not a good place for couples if you want privacy as Carol likes to come by and 'check in'. Breakfast goodies were supplied which was a nice touch.
Response from VrboOwner on 3 Apr 2020
Yes Aimee, I like to meet & greet my guests. I think it is the polite thing to do & I am sorry I must have some pet dog rules. I have these for the comfort of other guests who may not like dogs or dog hair in the bedrooms. The dogs in the laundry to sleep with their own bedding is mainly for large dogs as the furniture has to be protected also. I'm sorry you didn't like me calling in to see if you required anything & it was stressful when your dog was so anxious & wanted to attack me. I didn't intend to upset your privacy. Country bakehouse is very private as it is my guests "home away from home" while they stay & they have the complete residence all to themselves as we only take one booking at a time.

Fantastic
Country bakehouse Accommodation is the ideal place to stay in the Mid North of SA. It is full of History & has so much character. Very clean & comfortable, so relaxing & everything supplied, even some lovely breakfast provisions. Very central to all the lovely mid north towns for antique hunting & coffee shops.

Thank you for this great review. We are very central to Clare, Burra & Crystal Brook which make us a great venue for antique hunting & lots of great coffee shops. I love my Country bakehouse & love to share it with my guests.

Thank you for choosing to stay in our Country bakehouse Accommodation. I always enjoy having Heysen Trail walkers. It often worries me to open up the Baker's shop 3rd bedroom in Winter when the weather is cold so I am happy that you all enjoyed having the extra space & kept cosy & comfortable. The front bedrooms have the bonus of being warmed up by the Winter afternoon sunshine later in the day & it's a nice spot to sit & have a coffee or wine rather than outside on the veranda. It is a very convenient place to stay being situated just a short walk from the Spalding Country Hotel & Store & I hope you enjoyed that Burra Bakery Sourdough bread for your breakfast.

Well preserved historic residence
The country Bakehouse Accomodation in Spalding makes for a very comfortable base to explore the mid-north or walk some of the Heysen Trail. Scrupulously clean, warm and well appointed, the country Bakehouse is great to come home to after being out and about. The "little extras" included a bread & cheese platter, fruit, generous sized soap, fluffy towels and comfy beds. The historic character of the building are evident in its sympathetic restoration, carefully recorded in a photo album by the owner Carol.

Thank you for such a thorough review. I certainly am pleased that you felt comfortable at my Country bakehouse. I like to make sure that guests receive some home comforts. The cold frosty nights have been a problem this Winter but I'm told by some guests that they enjoy the cooler months & are quite happy with the air conditioning & heaters we supply. I must admit I love to take a nice hot bath in the cold of Winter. Will look forward to meeting up with you again Helen.

Really enjoyed having your family stay at Country bakehouse Jan. It was great to have a talk & get to know you. Thank you for making the time to leave the house so clean & tidy. You didn't have to strip the beds but it was appreciated. I'm sorry the hot weather came in so suddenly on your final day. Hope to have you stay another time Jan. Carol
