Old Orchard Barn - The Annexe

We had a lovely time so peaceful the owner was very friendly and helpful will visit again

Beautiful cottage and fantastic views, windows needed cleaning and cobwebs in bathroom window area, towels very ruff,and didn’t like that fact we had to remove leaves from the swimming pool before having a swim.

The gentleman owner was nice & friendly upon arrival.The Annex was clean & was well presented and equipped.The seating area for watching tv was a bit small, a small sofa would be better than 2 bouncer chairs & maybe switching the area around would be better for when in and out the door so the door doesn’t bang against the chair.The footstools aren’t really needed & take up useful space.The only thing really which would have been useful which the Annex didn’t have was some hooks on the back of the bedroom & bathroom doors & maybe a caddy holder or shelf with in the shower as no where to put more than 1 bottle.Also, just something to mention, the electric fire in the seating area, I was sitting watching tv one morning when all of a sudden, the fire just came on by itself, made me jump, but just lucky I was still in as we were going out & could have happened when we were both out, not sure if there’s a fault with it maybe?The bathroom toilet seat, the lid stays up but the seat doesn’t, for men, so you have to hold it up or sit down to go lolThere’re a few nice walks around, need to drive to a near by farm shop which was really nice but the nearest supermarkets are a bit of a drive, no local shop to walk to.Garden was lovely, with amazing views, fields upon fields with young cattle in-beautiful. We personally didn’t find the garden was 100% secure for our pooch, but maybe because she’s still young, she found a gap around the base of the fence and tried to get underneath it so we blocked it off with her paddling pool, also she could get across to the owners garden very easily, I think a gate would be a good idea in the gap to stop that, couldn’t 100% relax…..It’s an ideal place to stay, but I think if you have 2 medium to large dogs plus 2 adults, you may find it a bit cramped, perfect for 2 adults, or 1 adult & 1 dog.
