    Beautiful view while relaxing on the sofa. Enjoyed our walks with our dog on the property’s grounds and through the gate to enjoy the Nower nature reserve. The property owners were very friendly and helpful.

    Bonuses of staying at the Observatory Annexe, good dog walking in the property grounds and beyond. The owners were very friendly and helpful but not intrusive. Worth noting, and not in the owners' control, the speed bumps approaching the property are a bit vicious so worth driving very slowly from the main road down to the property. Please don't let this one comment deter you, its a beautiful cottage and exactly what we look for in a break. We'll return in spring/early summer to enjoy the rhododendrons in the gardens.
