Charming place

What a lovely stay, the house was very comfortable, beds as well. Option of heating and cooling in all the rooms. The entire house gave a very homely vibe, and the back garden was so nice and quiet. It was just a perfect stay and we loved all the little messages on all the appliances too which made our lives easier.

This property is the benchmark by which all Stayz or short term stay properties should be judged. Everything about Annie's Escape is perfect. The listing is super accurate and honest, the location is even closer to amenities and nature walks than expected. The house is equipped as well as or better than my own home. From cleaning and personal soaps, to napkins, tissues, ample towels, extra blankets this place has every conceivable necessity. The house is in immaculate condition, extremely well looked after, squeaky clean and no cheap shortcuts on linen etc.Annie has been a perfect host, great communicator and lovely to deal with. Also the value for money has been exceptional. I am a seasoned traveller and needed a quiet retreat to concentrate on business planning, I can't recommend Annie's Retreat too strongly. Such a contrast to the disappointment of arriving at a proper that has been misrepresented. I will be back a s soon as possible. Thank you Annie, I'd give 10 stars if I was allowed!

Cosy Comfort

Annie's Escape was very well equipped with everything you'd need for a comfortable stay in Warbuton, including an umbrella which was much needed on our arrival. The view from the kitchen with the low clouds rolling through was majestic. We bought our bikes, and even though we only had one clear day for riding, the location of Annie's Escape was perfect for the rail trail. The location was also great for setting off on walks, the information centre and cafes/restaurants. It was very cold in Warbuton, but Annie's Escape kept us toasty. Thanks Annie!

I'm so pleased that Annie's Escape provided the cosy comfort that you needed for your Winter stay. Warburton in the Summer is just as spectacular with the river providing great swimming spots to cool off in and lovely walks - maybe that could be your next get away plan. Thanks for your kind words about Annie's Escape and the little extras that we strive to provide for our guests to make it their "home away from home" regardless of how long they stay with us. Kind regards, Annie

Peaceful Retreat

The minute you open the door, WOW, what a delightful cosy welcoming unit. The property had everything that you want. A well equipped kitchen, well heated or cooled. We just relaxed in the unit, enjoying the tranquility of the place and absorbing the hills and greenery around. So convenient, short walk to the shops and the river. This is our 3rd visit to Annie's Place and will not hesitate to come back again in the near future. Thank-you Annie. You've done such a good job with the place.

Home Away From Home

Our 2nd stay at Annie's place within 3 months. After our 1st stay, we said that we have to come back again as we loved the peace and tranquility of the place. And of course not forgetting the views from the unit. It’s in a great location close to the river walks and the shopping strip. We loved this comfortable home and has got everything that we want. We would stay here again in a heartbeat the next time we are looking for somewhere to chill. Thank-you Annie.
