The property is very clean and well maintained. The weather was not at its best but it was nice to come back to the warm and cosy Annexe.

Steve and Brenda welcomed us on the driveway, then Steve showed us around the Annexe and how to work the heating etc. We enjoyed our stay and I'm just sorry that we had to go home earlier than we planned. Terry said thanx for the milk etc and thanx for the wine. Thanx to you both of you for making our stay worthwhile.
