The history of The Old Bakery Part of the Old Bakery dates back to 1600. It was then a village farmhouse, surrounded by orchards and fields. It is a grade II listed building of historical interest, and is, therefore, protected legally. In the 1800s, the farmhouse was linked to the bakery building alongside which housed ovens and a shop. The baker, Mr Chalkley, and his large family lived in the original part of the house, working next door. The Bakery closed in 1960. Nina Anstee purchased the property in 1978 and has lived here ever since, restoring the house and commercial buildings. The Stables were converted to a cottage about 10 years ago.

The Stables is fab! Had a brill time. Such a nice hideaway to come back to after sightseeing. So easy to get in and out of central London and lovely and quiet which was what we wanted on our engagement holiday. We will definitely be back on our honeymoon, if not before.

Verified Homeowner
Why is Lupain Holiday Rentals the only holiday rental company to verify the ownership of holiday accommodation? Research has shown that not all advertisers are genuine. There have been cases where people have booked holiday accommodation only to find out it does not exist.
This sort of ‘scam’ is hard to comprehend but these days fraudsters are coming up with ever more imaginative ways of obtaining money by deception from innocent people like you. We do not want holidaymakers who book with us to fall victim to this type of scheme. Money is mostly hard earned we know, so taking a holiday is usually a major expense. In addition, we do not want you to remember us for a shattered dream.
Therefore, in order to protect you we have introduced our Owner Verification Scheme. We ask all holiday home advertisers to submit proof that they own the property they are advertising. Only when we are satisfied that an advertiser and their property is genuine do we add our Green Shield to their property advert. Apart from being a deterrent, it also encourages advertisers to make sure they verify their property, giving you peace of mind when you make your booking.
If you want to make a booking look for the Green Shield on the top right of the property advert, if you do not see our Green Shield it may mean we have not yet completed the verification process. We normally complete this process within a few days if no verification is forthcoming the advert is removed.
We take this Owner Verification Scheme very seriously for your protection. If you have any doubts about the validity of an advert or misrepresentation please contact us with your concerns.
Please note, Lupain Holiday Rentals does not verify the advertisement content placed on this website by property owners, nor do we offer any guarantee as to the correctness of the advertising information placed on this website by third parties.
