The annex is well-equipped according to guests, with mentions of a well-stocked kitchen and smart TV. Some guests suggest improvements like a freezer compartment and more storage. The mention of a slight smell of cigarettes in one review suggests a minor issue with maintenance.

The thermostat was set to 16 degrees and locked so we were unable to turn it up, so we were unable to even dry towels after we'd showered. On the morning we were due to leave I noticed the heating (what there was of it) had been remotely turned off at 8:30am, almost as if to say "it's time to leave". It's a silly thing to have to moan about but really didn't make us feel very welcome
