Rather than repeating these we wanted to add something which will be helpful. We found accommodation in any nearby towns or sites invariably meant parking away from the property. If like us you bring all but the kitchen sink on holiday, it was extremely helpful to park by the entrance - and the Annex couldnât be more convenient! Paul & Margaret

The local store not far away and in the village post office had all the items one would need to be self sufficient. Even down to the birthday card left at home for the wife. The break was for a period of one week and unfortunately weather this year wasnât to kind and ment only one day on the beach at Slapton sands. The unfortunate situation was our blind dog who developed cataract a week earlier caught his toe nail in the shingles at the annex and needed veterinary care immediately back home. But we enjoyed the three days at the annex before returning home early. We would certainly recommend this accommodation to anyone wanting to visit south Devon. My only critique would be to lay artificial grass instead of shingles in the garden to prevent small dogs tripping or stumbling.

Lyn, the owner, left us a lovely welcome pack and treats for the dog. Really well thought out hideaway close to plenty of places to visit. Will return I'm sure. Thank you!
