The lawn at the back is shared with the owners who are lovely people and we did not see them that much. There is a very large courtyard to the side of the annex which is very private if you want to use that. We did not have the best of weather and this flagged up one minor point that without the heating on (it was not cold), it was difficult to keep the towels dry - an electric heater into the bathroom radiator would resolve this. The bed is a 4'6" and the shower is quite small so very useable but for larger people like myself and little snug. Beautiful area and all the amenities you could want within easy walking distance. The owners do have rooms above the annex so you can hear them walking about (I did not see this as an issue but if you are a very private person it may be an issue). Very generous parking. The annex is compact but, for two people (and one dog), it was very adequate and did not feel cramped at all. All in all it is exactly as described in the listing and a lovely place to stay.
