What our guests say...

Lovely little cottage
Great short break away to visit Bath Christmas market. The annex was perfect and had everything we needed, nice and warm and cosy. Amazing shower too! Would definitely recommend :)

Jess

Lovely little place with fantastic hosts
we had a lovely relaxing stay. The location was perfect - we visited Bristol, bibury, castle combe and lacock. The hosts were really lovely and friendly and we felt very welcome. Had our own little patio to eat in the evenings.

Lyndsey

Beautifully presented home from home. Very clean, well equipped and comfortable. Annex has beautiful gardens and is conveniently located for trips into Bristol and Bath via park and rides.

Brenda

“This is a great facility, close to Bath and Bristol but in the country. It is quiet, peaceful and has a gorgeous garden to relax and enjoy. The property is very clean, well maintained and has all the things that you will need for a short or long stay. Marie-France and Mark are great hosts.”

Anne

Beautiful cottage with a very warm welcome. Ideal for exploring Bristol and Bath area. This is the best property we have ever stayed in.

Sean

The Annexe was a lovely place to stay - very well equipped, modern and very comfortable. Great location to stay and inspire of being quite rural, it was close to dine fabulous places to visit. Enjoyed our stay and can highly recommend to others.

Guri

Really nice accommodation for two people in a lovely location. Hosts gave us a very warm welcome. Property was very clean and well equipped. Ideal spot from which to explore a large number of attractions. Thoroughly recommend it.

Graham

What a lovely stay we had at The Annexe Yew Tree Cottage. Such a picturesque cottage, the gardens are amazing, the colourful splendour of the flowers and the setting just blew us away. The cottage is immaculate inside and out, and set in such tranquil surroundings. We couldn’t fault a thing with this amazing holiday cottage. Marie - France and Mark were brilliant hosts, very helpful regarding places to visit in the area. Very friendly hosts, who made our stay very enjoyable.

Martin

Can’t wait to return, the accommodation and location were just perfect, being so close to busy Bath and Cotswolds makes it so convenient but to return at the end of the day to the relaxing surroundings was amazing. The garden was beautiful and the hosts were just lovely, we very much enjoyed the welcome pack which included home grown tomatoes, lemon cake and fudge.

John

The property was spotlessly clean, warm, welcoming and like a home from home. Overlooking beautiful countryside and with a fantastic back garden to wander around the location was perfect. Everything we wanted and more from a holiday cottage. We would definitely visit again

Lorraine

You are both so easy going and welcoming. You give us access to your garden that we love. A drink on the sun loungers at the end of the day is a treat! The cottage is always presented and maintained to the very highest standard. The flowers and gifts are generous. We hope to return.

Shirley

We have enjoyed a lovely week exploring Bath, Bristol and beyond.

The cottage is very pretty in beautiful surroundings with lovely hosts who were on hand with useful information. Friendly but not intrusive. Thank you, we will be back

Jennifer and Terry

We arrived at the Annex after a long haul flight and found the Annex to be one of the most warm, clean and comfortable home-from-home holiday cottage. We received a gorgeous welcome pack of local delicious treats. The kitchen is well equipped and the bathroom benefits from a superb power shower (great after a long day walking through the glorious fields and countryside right on the door-step). Mark and Marie France are the most accommodating hosts. We were welcome to wander around their extensive gardens, meet their chickens. Their knowledge of the area is fantastic too. The Annex is ideal for couples wanting to explore the area (Bath, Bristol, Cotswolds and West Country) with plenty of walks along the Cotswold Way and general footpaths. We didn't have any faults or issues with the annex at all and would highly recommend choosing this holiday cottage if visiting this area of England.

Deb

The Annexe is a lovely and clean space that was very well equipped. Everything we could think of was supplied and we thoroughly enjoyed the property. Very homely and the cake was a very nice touch! Would happily recommend this place!

Jacques

Caroline

The perfect location for a restful break. Countryside gorgeous and so close to great places to visit - Bath and Bristol very close and numerous gorgeous villages. Mark and Marie-France wonderful hosts, friendly and close by if needed. The annexe is clean and very comfortable.
