The annexe has been perfect. A wonderful retreat but not secluded. My friend and I enjoyed our stay. I wished we had stayed longer. Every comfort and requirement was catered for by the extremely wonderful host Nicky. All the extras were very greatly enjoyed!! Thank you Nicky from myself and my dear friend.

Nicky and Andrew are the most welcoming and thoughtful hosts we have ever had, and Solsken had everything we needed for the perfect break. The location is ideal and we will definitely be back. Thanks again for making our stay so enjoyable and stress free.

This was our fourth stay at this wonderful accommodation. There is not much more I can add to this because, in my opinion, this place is perfect. The welcome given to us by Nicky was more like a greeting from an old friend as it was so sincere. Care is taken in all of the holiday aspects and nothing is left to chance. The walking in the area is very enjoyable even though the weather was not as good as we had hoped but this did not spoil our enjoyment in any way. If you are looking for a holiday in this area I cannot think of one reason why you wouldn’t want to stay there!
