With her recommendation, we utilized the Park and Ride just down the road for the two days we went into York. It was the perfect place for a break in driving from Scotland and we thoroughly enjoyed both the place and the host... she was very friendly and helpful.

An unexpected touch was a large bowl of fruit and bottle of wine. The only small concern was that the internet was sometimes unreliable but Jean reassured us that they are trying to address this issue. ##### Terry C.

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 ##### Val C.

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. ##### Phyllis D.
