The Annexe in Norfolk is consistently praised for its spotless condition and comfortable setting. Guests appreciate the friendly and helpful hosts, Sarah and Graham, and the property's peaceful location, making it an ideal base for exploring North Norfolk. While the kitchen size and bed comfort have been noted as minor concerns, the overall experience is highly regarded for cleanliness, comfort, and a welcoming atmosphere.
Reviewers unanimously mention the spotless and well-maintained state of the property, indicating a high standard of cleanliness.
The property is frequently described as a great starting point for visiting North Norfolk, suggesting a favourable location.
Comfort is highlighted with mentions of a snug environment and comfortable bed, although there is a single mention of the bed being quite soft, which may not suit all preferences.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the property being well-equipped. However, the small kitchen and lack of food storage space, along with no mention of recycling facilities, slightly lower the score.
While the hosts are described as helpful and welcoming, there are no specific references to gifts or special amenities that would indicate thoughtfulness beyond good hospitality. Therefore, this score is set to null.

We found it cosy and well equipped. However, we struggled with the small double bed which was also quite soft. It was also a bit disappointing that there were no facilities for recycling. This property is well placed for a peaceful holiday where many attractions are within easy reach.

It was beautifully appointed, spotlessly clean and extremely peaceful.
