Fantastic week near York

The Annex is spotless and has everything you could want. Jean and George were very helpful and made us feel extremely welcome. The location is great for exploring York and its surrounds. The garden is beautiful and peaceful to sit in. We will definitely stay here again when we next visit the area.

York Trip

The stay was excellent with lovely hosts. The annex provided the perfect base for us to explore the area. Modern and very well prepared, the kitchen and bathroom were ideal for the two of us. The bedroom/sitting room was comfortable and allowed us to relax when not out and about. The garden is lovely with a nice view across to the fields. Recommended to any couple wanting to see York, Harrogate, Whitby et al...

Fabulous self contained accommodation

Absolutely superb accommodation, immaculate , quiet, peaceful, overlooking a beautiful garden setting. Jean and George are lovely, kind hosts. The best self contained accommodation we have had the pleasure of staying in, on our UK holiday. Close proximity to Grimston Park and Ride, if you want to go to York. Great village pub and local grocery store within walking distance. Thanks Jean and George for a wonderful stay. Best wishes, Sue and Lee. Adelaide, Australia

What could be better?!

The annexe was beautifully clean - carpet in the main area rather than the hard flooring that many properties have these days - (although I understand why as it's probably easier to clean than carpet) however, that made it very cosy & so warm. Everything was lovely, I can't think of anything that was missing, the attention to detail was 1st class. Jean, George & not forgetting Buddy -were lovely hosts, available if you needed anything but not intrusive. If I'm up that way again for any reason, I'd love to visit again

Excellent!! Nothing else I can say!

Second visit to the Annexe and once again, everything was perfect. Incredibly clean, everything you need is supplied, direct access to the garden. Jean is on hand if you need anything. The annexe is very close to York and the park and ride is superb. We visited the Christmas market which was really good. Thank you Jean, George & the lovely Meg 🐶 for a lovely relaxing stay despite the weather! We will definitely return.

A very comfortable property which was well laid out and tastefully decorated. Dunnington is an ideal base from which to explore York and the surrounding area. Our hosts provided a most acceptable welcome package which set us up for what was a very pleasant break.

Perfect!

I had a lovely week here. The annexe is very well equipped, incredibly clean and in amazing condition. The bed was very comfortable as was the sofa & chair. I stayed on my own with my dog and it was a perfect escape. Jean, George and of course, Meg the dog are lovely. They are on hand & don't interfere The garden is beautiful and although the weather was cold it was nice to sit outside. I highly recommend the annexe and will definitely return. Thank you Jean & George.

Wonderful Stay at The Annex

We had a wonderful 4 day stay at the Annex last month. It was very well equipped and had everything we needed. Dunnington is a beautiful village and the Annex is in a residential area, a short walk from the local shops, pub and bus routes. We took the number 10 bus into the centre of York, which only took 20 minutes. The hosts were on hand if we needed anything, but they were not obtrusive, We loved York and visited Robon Hoods Bay and Whitby while we were there. I would definitely stay at the Annex again.

Most wonder Hosts. Jean, George and Meg.

This annexe is home from home. Has absolutely everything you could ask for, and superbly clean to a high standard. The garden is beautiful and you can relax out there at anytime. The owners were fabulous, greeted us on arrival and showed us around. Lovely gesture also was milk in the fridge, along side a lovely bottle of wine and a bowl of fresh fruit. Jean and George are always available if you have an issues or questions, but they also give you your own space which was great. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone for a getaway, and would definitely come again.
