  • David

    We were very pleased with the accommodation. We broke a glass and that was well received by the owners without any fuss.

  • Allan

    Excellent location. Highly recommend.

  • Ruth

    The Annex is cute, well equipped, incredibly cosy, and Sue & Nick were so friendly. The village is heaven. The only sounds were songbirds and farm animals, and we were fortunate to see an amazing show of the northern lights. We definitely recommend this property.
