While the vast majority of feedback is positive, a very small number of guests noted minor issues with bed and sofa size. Overall, this property is highly recommended for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Our first time at the Annex and can only say it is 5 star, in every respect. So peaceful, and restful. The Annex is so comfortable and has everything you need for that perfect holiday. The local pub a couple of minutes walk away with the bus stop into Cromer and Sheringham just outside the pub. Deborah and David (the owners) are just wonderful and really look after you. Thank you both very much and looking forward to seeing you both again next year .Martin and Marion **

Great location for local pub, bus services, village store and renowned fish & chip shop. Property looks good, nice to have patio area although not private, the bed was very small, I believe only 4 foot and not very comfortable, same as sofa very small and uncomfortable despite room for a larger sofa or 2 armchairs. There was no bbq on the patio as per the details, presume due to current dry weather.
