Had a wonderful 5 days of rest & relaxing in the Annexe. It has everything one needs for a short stay. Everything was really well organised and clean throughout even for our little dog! It's situated close to the Cliff Railway at Lynton & Lynmouth. The Lynton & Barnstaple Railway and The Valley of the Rocks. Highly recommend all these visits! Oh and National Trusts Arlington Court was delightful too... There's honestly no bad points - thank you so much John & Amanda :)
