The Old Dairy Annexe is a lovely holiday property which has been refurbished to a very high standard and is equiped with everything needed for either a short or longer term stay. It is very convenient for short trips to nearby National Trust properties, Clarks Village, and Lyme Regis. The George at Donyatt is very close and is a friendly and welcoming pub with good food. The only reason for not rating local amenities as excellent is that there is not a shop in Donyatt, but Ilminster is nearby. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have no hesitation in recommending it.

Our second stay at this gem tucked away in the attractive village of Donyatt. The Old Dairy Annexe provides spacious comfortable accommodation and genial owners Sara and Dean keep the place immaculately clean and tidy inside and out. A minutes walk away is the George pub serving good food and beer. The Annexe's location gives all round excellent access to the coastal towns of Bridport, Lyme Regis, Seaton, Beer and Sidmouth. Other tourist attractions and local towns are within easy reach for shopping needs. Highly recommended.
