Annie's Bed and Breakfast

ElyshaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Annie was a wonderful, kind host who went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable in the suite. We loved the cozy sitting room, spacious bedrooms, beautiful garden and patio area, and well supplied kitchen (perfect for simple family meals - no stove, but we weren't cooking anything too fancy on this family holiday, and all the other basics were available including ingredients for a couple of meals!). Our two kids slept well in the bedrooms (lots of extra blankets and sheets to make sure everyone was extra comfortable), and enjoyed the nearby playground (walking distance).
