Welcomed us with a beer after a long 8 hour drive. Kept our beautiful Airedale happy with daily cooked chicken thighs and treats, always checking how we were and if they could help. Just lovely friendly people. The property was perfect and very dog friendly. We loved our week here.

The Annex is absolutely stunning, immaculately clean and very modern, the garden and views from the garden are fantastic. We have a little dog Buster and he absolutely loved pottering in the garden he spent more time outside than in. The hospitality we received was second to none from letting us know where to walk with our dog, and even cooking him fresh chicken which he absolutely loved and we were very greatful for, to just checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. Their knowledge of the local and surrounding areas were fantastic and very useful. Itâs the perfect place to be lots of nice walks nearby to lovely places a short drive away 30 to 40 minutes away at the most. We were lucky to have lovely weather too. I canât recommend The Annex enough we will definitely be back itâs perfect. Dawn, Andrew and Buster
