Durcombe Water Annex was a delightful retreat up in the hills just above Lynton, so not far from town amenities. We found our stay comfortable, peaceful and relaxing. We had amazing weather and did lots of walking, paddleboarding and sightseeing. The Annex had everything we needed thank you J & A x

The anex was very nice, clean and tidy. The bathroom was a bit low for me as I am 6ft 3in tall and had to bend down to wash etc. The lane heading up to the place is a single track which can be a little difficult if another vehicle is coming. John is very nice and easy to get on with. Overall a very nice place to stay.
