"Stayed here for a 4 day break."
Cosy, very rural, well presented accommodation with lovely views in a beautiful setting. Bread, butter, jam, milk, tea and coffee provided on arrival which was very much appreciated. Easy to locate, friendly owners and ample parking. Would definitely stay here again.

"We LOVED our long weekend at Giles and Helle’s cottage."
The annexe is beautiful as are the huge gardens that surround it. Pip and Goose were so playful with our dog Fig who loved to run around together. Giles and Helle are great company and really care about their guests (everything is in the detail!) We would definitely recommend to others and would love to come back.

The location is beautiful, with great views and a really peaceful setting. The accommodation was just what we were looking for - it’s beautifully decorated, with a comfortable bed and a bathroom with the dream roll top bath and power shower.
Helly & Giles were perfect hosts, with wine, homemade bread and divine cheese biscuits on arrival - just what we needed after a long drive!

"The Annexe is the perfect bolthole for relaxing and escaping the stresses of life."
Helly and Giles have provided every comfort needed, all beautifully clean and tastefully decorated. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches of delicious flapjacks and fresh flowers picked from the garden, made us feel so welcome, thank you. The views are peaceful and calming from every window. The bath was divine!! We ate at The Dicken Arms and The New Inn at Baschurch, both excellent. The meres and Attingham are both stunning for walking. We would definitely recommend The Annexe.

"The Barn Annexe was superb and the owners, Giles and Helly couldn't be more friendly."
The outstanding feature is the well tended gardens and lawns. There is a thoughtfully provided patio table and chairs at the side of the property, surrounded by gorgeous flowers and plants and with a view to the Welsh hills. The stillness and tranquility is outstanding. The only thing you will hear is birdsong.
A true Gem if you want to escape the hurly burly of modern living.

"We chose Annexe for a peaceful and relaxing holiday before the arrival of our baby in October - it didn’t disappoint!"
The cottage is clean and incredibly homely, well equipped with everything you’d need - with an added bonus of some lovely cookies on arrival! Amazing views and young cows in the neighbouring field which were enjoyable to watch.
Helly and Giles are great hosts and recommended some lovely places for us to visit during our stay. We were made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble.
The cottage is an ideal base to explore the surrounding towns and villages, and there are great walks around. Our dog certainly loved coming back to the vast garden and enjoyed playing with the owners dog!
Would highly recommend this place, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay :)

"This is like living on a quiet farm with young cows in the fields nearby, swallows nesting, a hare visiting in the early morning, and beautiful meadows."
The hosts, and farmer neighbour were very friendly and helpful. The annexe was very well appointed with all we required, so it was easy to self cater while COVID still restricts life.
We found this an excellent base for walking, and relaxing.

The area has plenty to offer with both walking areas and National Trust properties within easy reach. There's a multi screen cinema situated within a large shopping complex just outside Wrexham for those rainy days away but inside..
The owners of the Annexe, Helly and Giles are friendly and helpful but without being intrusive.
Altogether we would highly recommend The Annexe..
