What an amazing find. We felt right at home, The Annexe has everything you need and then some. Looking at the front door you cant't believe what is behind it, it's like a Tardis. An amazing welcome pack was there to greet us, thank you so much to Vivian and Alan. It is hands down the best best place we have stayed in the UK. We took things with us we really didn't need, all you need are your clothes, toothbrush and toothpaste. Right on the doorstep of some lovely beaches and Towns. We visited Herne Bay, Whitstable, Margate and Ramsgate, had the best fish and chips at Pete's fish bar and amazing seafood at the Buoy and Oyster. Definitely recommend tou give this gem of a place a visit.
