Historic Setting
The Old Bakery is housed in a historic building that once served as the village bakery, with the original oven still preserved beneath the bedroom area. This oven has been lit by the hosts to display, offering a tangible link to the property's 19th-century origins. The building has undergone a recent renovation that retains original features such as parquet floors and exposed beams.

The kitchenette is equipped for preparing small meals, and the property provides board games and puzzles for indoor entertainment. Guests have access to a private patio with outdoor furniture and a sun terrace.
Outdoor Spaces
The property features a shared garden maintained by the owners, with a hennery of chickens that guests can watch. A courtyard seating area at the back of the bakery allows for outdoor dining when weather permits. The garden offers views of the surrounding area and is accessible from the apartment's terrace.

“The quiet charm of this Spittal spot truly impressed; its thoughtful design made for a wonderfully comfortable stay, and the proximity to the promenade is a distinct advantage. The garden seating and even a little hennery add a delightful, unexpected touch, making it feel like a genuinely well-loved home away from home.”
