Our second stay at The Annexe and every bit as enjoyable as the first. The welcome pack (including bread, milk, butter, bacon, eggs & jam) was very much appreciated. Attentive hosts without being intrusive which is exactly the approach we prefer. Everything is spotlessly clean and it's just a very cosy & enjoyable place to stay. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely welcome from Joyce and Jim together with a very generous welcome pack, thank you! Always lovely and warm to come back to in wet and grey weather 👍 Comfortable bed and very dark and quiet so really good nights. Parking right outside. We had a really lovely 4 nights.The only thing we missed was a cafetiere/coffee machine. We just managed in the ensuite bathroom height wise but for anyone over 5'6" I think it would be a struggle.
