The views are amazing and being able to wander around the farm and pet the horses was an experience we both enjoyed. The annexe itself is amazing and been refurbished to the highest of standards not to mention very comfortable!. A touch of luxury including fresh flowers upon arrival. We met Lin who came to say hello and she was friendly and welcoming. We would certainly like to return next year. Thanks for having us.
