Durcombe Water Annex was a delightful retreat up in the hills just above Lynton, so not far from town amenities. We found our stay comfortable, peaceful and relaxing. We had amazing weather and did lots of walking, paddleboarding and sightseeing. The Annex had everything we needed thank you J & A x
