The annex has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing break, quiet location and lovely garden to share. Ideal location for exploring the Jurassic Coast without having to travel too far. Highly recommended.

Quite a few shockers may I add... This place was by far the best. Great accommodation, Great owner, perfect quiet location. Cannot fault it. One day we even stuck some washing out as we looked at the BBC weather forecast (fatal - guaranteed to be wrong). Came home to a line full dripping wet through. Next thing. Owner knocking at the door with some dry stuff. What more can you say. Even though it's a right hike to get there. We would return. Stayed May 2018
