When we walked in we were overwhelmed by the annex, it was beautiful and everything you needed, it was extremely comfortable and very clean, the whole place was perfect for a relaxing get away.Our little dog settled straight away and the outside garden area was lovely.

This Annexxe is a little gem, the property is within an easy drive of both Bude and Widemouth, with lovely beaches. Very comfortable lounge furniture (although the sofa and armchair not the same as the photos on website). Very comfortable bed. Lovely enclosed garden which was very safe for our small dog. The huge american fridge/freezer is a bonus, as we like to cook at home due to rising restaurant prices and we were able to do a large grocery shop at Launceston ( which has plenty of supermarkets to choose from) If you do forget something the local shop is just a very short walk from the property. The welcome pack was excellent.I knew before booking that there was only a breakfast bar to sit at when eating, which was great for breakfast, a little uncomfortable when eating an evening meal (not a large breakfast bar) and its close proximity to the hob and oven did cause a worry as one person had to sit close to the hob and oven and obviously these remained quite hot for some time after turning off. The following would improve the property:1. Small dining room table and 2 chairs ( and there is now enough room since the lounge furniture has been reduced)2. Instructions for TV (it took us 2 days to work out how to get the normal channels)3. Instructions for washing machine as it is not obvious which button turns this on (We googled it)4. Instructions for small heater in hallway, we never got this to work during our stay. (we did not contact owner as we used the other heater in the lounge which was on wheels)I would love to return but not having a dining table puts me off (I am 75 years old and need my comfort).

Perfect size accommodation with good facilities, entertainment and a good secure area outside for our dog. The only area for improvement could be a blind for the front door as we felt a little exposed to the neighbouring properties when entering and exiting the bathroom before and after showering.
