The Annexe

• "The property was said to be pet friendly but did not appear to be designed for dogs."

  The kitchen/dining area was extremely narrow, which did not allow much room for manoeuvre with both myself and a large greyhound entering and exiting the property. There was no garden area to let the dog out when necessary, only immediate access to the main road (!), and no carpeting on any of the floors, so nowhere comfortable for the dog to rest after the day out. That being said we had everything we needed in the property, and the luck we had weather wise was a bonus. Unfortunately I managed to lose my iPhone by the first morning, but obviously can't blame Sykes for that. A nice place to stay on the whole.

• "Hi we found the property rather tight in the shower room and bedroom,as i have a slight mobility issue,also the settee was very uncomfortable the entrance was a bit uneven,but when we rang the owner he came straight round and helped with the problem."

  With regard to the entrance it needs a mirror so that you can see what is comeing we had to help a delivery driver out.

• "We absolutely loved our week at The Annexe."

  What a lovely village, the church bells are a pleasure to hear and all the locals were very friendly. Excellent food at the nearest pub, even have an area you can eat with your dog (such a nice thing for holiday makers). The Annexe has absolutely everything we needed, and it was nice that the owner popped by to make sure we were ok. Would definitely recommend for a couple with a small dog.

  Thank you for your lovely remarks. We try and help guests make the best of their time in the village and it is great have such good feedback it is much appreciated. Property Owner

• "Lovely clean and well equipped cottage."

  Perfect location, nice and quiet (I loved the church bells) and only a short drive to coastal resorts. We had trips out to, Alford, ingoldmells, Skegness, Chapel Point, Mablethorpe and Gibralter Point with our dog. Tried the chippy, the bakery and the pizza shop and they were lovely. Lots of nice walks around the village on an evening with our dog and really impressed at how clean everywhere is. Everyone was really friendly. Thanks to the owner for calling and asking if everything was ok for us and the board that slips in the door opening is a great idea. Highly recommended and we will hopefully be returning.

  However, we soon became immune to them. The property was clean, tidy, comfortable and near all facilities. Near to departure we couldn't find information about what to do with used bedding and towels within the property. A quick call to the owner sorted this out though. They were very helpful. Would definitely stay again or recommend to people.

  Cosy litttle place with just about everything we could need. Plenty to do nearby. We took our kindle firestick with us so that we had access to Netflix and catch up TV which was useful. The only negative is that the sofa is not as comfortable as it used to be and as we visit in the winter a door curtain would be handy to stop any draught which would save on the landlord's heating bill! I'm sure we will be back!

• "Everything was great, small and compact, comfortable."

  The only slight issue my wife had was getting in and out of the car when parked in the space provided at the front of the property. She is disabled and found the space cramped, as was unable to open the car door wide. Having said that she did manage, just. Hopefully we will return to the same place again next year as it is quite central for our needs. We loved the church bells!

  Our only problem was the noise of the Westminster chimes of the church clock. We expected to hear church bells on Sunday , but not chimes every 15 minutes including during the night. We bought ear plugs on the third day because we needed some sleep. The owner was very pleasant and the annex was fine for a week.

• "Great little place which was very suitable as a base to tour the coast/countryside."

  Very well equipped and a nice little touch from the owners of fresh milk and chocolate bars. It appears from feedback that some past visitors have had issues with the church bells ringing/traffic and neighbours but to be honest I did not have any problems. yes, bit of traffic first thing in a morning and teatime but it really was not too bad, it was lovely to hear the church and be part of a village. At night I just put in some earplugs and I could'nt hear anything. The property itself could do with some TLC inside and out...shower is leaking (the flooring is lifting and I could see water coming up in area under the silver radiator) and chip bottom of sliding door which is just hanging on with part of the plastic strip)....also some blown plaster on back of toilet wall.....as you enter the Annexe there's gritty muddy debris which just could do with clearing up and the wooden bench either needs replacing or doing away with.

  The village is a friendly place with lots of places to eat and drink within walking distance, the bus service is very good a bus every hour in both directions, we use the bus all the time and haven't used our car once even though we have visited all big towns around Lincolnshire. Most importantly the owner lives close by and is very helpful.

  It was in a very good village which again had everything you might need, the people were all very friendly and the bus service into Skeggy was really good. We are going again in January and are very happy about it. The Church bells do make a noise but you get used to them and they become a welcome clock after a while, the Church looks magnificent at night time, just look out of the bedroom window and it takes your breath away.

• "The Annex is small but comfortable, it is very well equipped, with everything you could need in a self catering cottage."

  It is in an ideal location for exploring the local area, and is situated in a village with a number of shops and pubs. It is on the main road through the village with the occasional bus or tractor passing, but the village is by passed with most traffic staying on the dual carriage way. The church opposite dose chime every 15 minuets, this didn't bother us, but may be an issue if your'e a light sleeper. There is a laundry room in a separate out building, and it was all spotlessly clean. Our only issue, due to the size of the building, was that the bathroom was quite cramped, and knocking my arm in the night on the bed side shelves. Overall very good value for money. Thank you.

  It is cosy and has its own separate laundry room. The road outside is busy during the day. The church clock opposite chimes every quarter of an hour. We found it very soothing and miss the sound now we are home. Unless you cannot live without Waitrose and wish to spend half your holiday cooking, the shops in Burgh-le-Marsh are quite adequate for the duration. There are plenty of things to do and see in the area.

• "The cottage is in a super location for exploring the area and the village it’s in is lovely."

  We found it very pleasant to hear the Church bells from across the road and being next to a main road didn’t disturb us but may do if you’re a very light sleeper. We had our elderly dog with us and I had mistakenly thought the annexe had a private outdoor space. My fault for misreading things. For this reason only we probably wouldn’t rebook whist we still have a dog. The annexe is tiny ( especially with a dog bed on the floor) but we were out all day so it wasn’t a huge issue. Owners very pleasant and helpful. A good find.

• "We were concerned when we arrived at just how small the bungalow was, especially as we were staying for 4 weeks."

  We couldn't however have been more wrong. The bungalow was superbly equipped, even a pair of kitchen scales and an electric whisk! It was warm and cosy with a lovely comfy bed. The washing and drying facilities were no bother being located in a different building as so near by. Anthony was very pleasant and I'm sure if there had been any issues he would have been straight on them! It was lovely to find tea, coffee, sugar, milk and biscuits supplied, and there were even 4 toilet rolls and toiletries as well as lots of extras in the kitchen which we just did not expect. The DVDs were a welcome bonus with the weather being so grotty, but when we did go out we found lots of lovely places to visit; the dog loved the beaches! We found people in the village very friendly, and enjoyed the hostelry in the White Hart, as well as enjoying a superb meal in the Windmill Restaurant. The only thing that wasn't supplied was any bakeware, so we just bought a little roasting tin in the pound shop and left it behind for the next occupant! There is really nothing negative to say at all and we wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. The only thing the bungalow would benefit from would be some draught excluder around the front door as it was a little draughty during the high winds, but that is in no way a complaint!

  There was no outside area as such to enjoy the sunshine. The people in the flats made the stay hellish with loud music playing. One woman got very drunk and walked into our property and sat down!!! We had to get our daughter to talk to her on the phone to get her out!!! We are in our 80's and do not need stressful holidays like this. Its greed on behalf of the owner to use this tiny place as a holiday home. Its the wrong place and situated right by the main through road so all you can hear is traffic. Never again. Reading the visitors book was colourful as nobody was happy.

• "This is a very small cottage on an extremely busy road."

  It only has one bedroom which we understood but it has a small kitchen, very small bathroom and small lounge. It is also next to a very busy road. The church opposite has a clock which chimes every quarter and on the hour continuously through the night. However the village/town is very good, with lots of pubs and food places including plenty of shops and stores which I would recommend . If you have booked this property then be aware that there is only a couple of chairs and a table outside the front door which is not very relaxing. Please remember to take ear plugs to wear during the night if you want to sleep.

• "The Annexe itself was left clean for our arrival and the owner is quite approachable if you need to call him for anything."

  What we did not know was that within 50 yards of the bedroom window is a church tower clock that chimes loudly on the quarter hours with additional gongs on the hour all day and all night long, this could be disturbing for light sleepers as it was for me, little sleep for two weeks. The Annexe stands on a very busy main road, the living room window is right beside the road and the bedroom window is about 2 yards from it, so there’s constant noisy passing traffic all day, starting around 4.30 am and going on until well after midnight. The Annexe does not have a fenced off area should you be taking a dog with you. The Annexe is the only holiday let situated within a busy courtyard of six or seven other properties. Each property has its own parking space outside the front door as has The Annexe. Should you want to sit outside then you’d be sitting on this courtyard and really it’s more of a car park, what with residents coming and going, their visitors and the noisy main road within yards, we didn’t feel comfortable enough to sit out for the two weeks we were there and it was beautiful weather too. During our two weeks there one household was having what was described as “relationship difficulties” and given that their front door is only about 6 yards from the bedroom windows of The Annexe, their behaviours, language, noise level and intimidation towards us when we asked them to quieten down was not what we had paid the owner for ! This Sykes experience was by far the worst we have ever encountered and we left, after 2 weeks, feeling exhausted and very disappointed.

• "The Annexe is very compact and very attractive both inside and out."

  Liked the hanging baskets. The interior is tastefully decorated and furnished and very clean. Ideal for a relaxing holiday. Burgh le Marsh is a beautiful town. Food at the local pubs is very good but I thought the Windmill restaurant was outstanding. The locals are very friendly and the food stores good, especially the Co-op which is a biggish supermarket and all the food looked really fresh and inviting. The bathroom is small but someone can manage with it for a week unless heavily pregnant or considers themselves to be very large. The utility room is only a few yards away and is clean and very well equipped. The owner is pleasant and very helpful. To sum up this cottage and the holiday well-exceeded my expectations.
