    Could not fault it and highly recommend. We have family in Dawlish warren so regularly visit the area but this is the first time staying in the annex and we now hope to use this accommodation for future stays. Thankyou for a lovely stay

  • "The property ticked almost all the boxes - well maintained, spotlessly clean, well equipped and comfortable."

    It is well positioned with excellent transport links on the doorstep and no need to use the car. Rae, the owner, was very helpful, prompt in addressing any queries or issues and invaluable in providing information. Many thanks, Rae. However, the property is advertised as having tv and wifi but no mention is made of there being no tv licence and streaming channels unable to be accessed on tv or any other devices. This is frequently mentioned in customer reviews but needs to be addressed in the actual description

    Thank you for your comments. For Clarity The Annex has many streaming channels including Netflix, Amazon Prime, Premier, You Tube and free channels. This is in the welcome book in the Annex and also information communicated to guests who have any issues. Warm Rdgs Rae Property Owner

  • "Really nice place to stay."

    Exceptionally clean and comfortable. With a well thought out kitchen and bathroom. In fact just about everything you need to enjoy your holiday. Also, great transport links to the whole of the South Devon and Cornwall coast, and further afield. The only downside is that I have tried to book it again, and found that after the 17th August 2024 it is unavailable for booking? I have looked as far ahead as August 2026, still unavailable? Best regards, Robert and Elizabeth.

    Ratings are important to hosts. Helps us stay motivated to provide a great experience. Best wishes. Property Owner

    Ideal location for visiting Exeter or exploring the coast. A welcome pack was much appreciated. Parking easy either on nearby road or carpark after 6. Only downside was lack of TV outside of netflix or Amazon.

  • "Excellent well appointed and clean!"

    Excellent kitchen with clothes washer and dryer. Lovely walk in shower. The kitchen skylight opens by remote control and creates a cooling draft. There's lots of storage so no suitcases are rattling around. There's a shop and four pubs, three of them selling food, within walking distance. A home from home with a very discreet, tactile host who's gone the extra mile. Quality all round!
