One of the most appreciated aspects of The Annexe is how perfectly positioned it is for exploration. For walking enthusiasts, you’ll be delighted to discover numerous footpaths right on your doorstep, including easy access to the famous Cotswold Way. The nearby Golden Valley Nature Reserve offers fantastic opportunities for walking and bird watching, with diverse wildlife to spot throughout the seasons.
History buffs are spoilt for choice with numerous National Trust properties within easy reach. Dyrham Park, a magnificent 17th-century mansion, is practically on your doorstep and offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. Its 270 acres of ancient parkland, complete with a herd of fallow deer, makes for a lovely day out.
When you’re ready to explore further afield, the UNESCO World Heritage city of Bath awaits with its Roman Baths, magnificent Georgian architecture, and vibrant cultural scene. In the opposite direction, Bristol offers a completely different but equally enthralling experience with its maritime heritage, the SS Great Britain, and the iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge.
The beauty of staying at The Annexe is that these diverse attractions are all within easy reach, yet at the end of each day, you can return to your peaceful countryside retreat away from the tourist crowds.
