Annique has everything you need for a relaxing holiday with all the comforts of home. We are easily reached from all the ports and airports. It is a special place and it is not easy to put into words what it is that is so special. But people do keep coming back to stay here and we even have children now grown up who come back with their partners. We live on the premises and it is up to you whether you see us every day or only on check in and check out. We always try and sort out any problems with the houses straight away so as not to spoil your time here. We are close to so many different places to visit so it is possible to keep all the family happy, with most things not too far it is possible to combine two trips in a day ie beach for the children, museum for Dad some shopping for Mum.

Guest comments
Lovely place, lovely people, thanks Anni and Nick for being great hosts. Hope to see you again soon. The Hoopers.
Excellent facilities, hospitality and entertainment, great food and drink. An ideal touring centre. Showers very good - always a sign of quality. Johnson.
A pity we couldn't stay longer! We loved the tranquility and the children had a great time playing in the garden and making friends with Piglet. The gite is excellent and we've enjoyed seeing a little of the region too. Lockwood.
