The place was very clean, and Jean, the host, was ready with any questions we had. 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. Thank you for letting us utilize the house for a great couple of days of exploring York. Vic and Jen, Kansas, USA

York Trip
The stay was excellent with lovely hosts. The annex provided the perfect base for us to explore the area. Modern and very well prepared, the kitchen and bathroom were ideal for the two of us. The bedroom/sitting room was comfortable and allowed us to relax when not out and about. The garden is lovely with a nice view across to the fields. Recommended to any couple wanting to see York, Harrogate, Whitby et al...

Excellent stay at Dunnington
Our hosts, Jean & George, made us welcome to their spotlessly clean, comfortable accommodation. 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.

Fabulous self contained accommodation
Absolutely superb accommodation, immaculate , quiet, peaceful, overlooking a beautiful garden setting. Jean and George are lovely, kind hosts. The best self contained accommodation we have had the pleasure of staying in, on our UK holiday. Close proximity to Grimston Park and Ride, if you want to go to York. Great village pub and local grocery store within walking distance. Thanks Jean and George for a wonderful stay. Best wishes, Sue and Lee.

Excellent!! Nothing else I can say!
Second visit to the Annexe and once again, everything was perfect. Incredibly clean, everything you need is supplied, direct access to the garden. Jean is on hand if you need anything.
The annexe is very close to York and the park and ride is superb. We visited the Christmas market which was really good.
Thank you Jean, George & the lovely Meg 🐶 for a lovely relaxing stay despite the weather! We will definitely return.

Perfect!
I had a lovely week here. The annexe is very well equipped, incredibly clean and in amazing condition. The bed was very comfortable as was the sofa & chair. I stayed on my own with my dog and it was a perfect escape. Jean, George and of course, Meg the dog are lovely. They are on hand & don't interfere The garden is beautiful and although the weather was cold it was nice to sit outside.
I highly recommend the annexe and will definitely return. Thank you Jean & George.

Wonderful Stay at The Annex
We had a wonderful 4 day stay at the Annex last month. 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.

Most wonder Hosts. Jean, George and Meg.
This annexe is home from home. Has absolutely everything you could ask for, and superbly clean to a high standard. The garden is beautiful and you can relax out there at anytime. The owners were fabulous, greeted us on arrival and showed us around. Lovely gesture also was milk in the fridge, along side a lovely bottle of wine and a bowl of fresh fruit. Jean and George are always available if you have an issues or questions, but they also give you your own space which was great. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone for a getaway, and would definitely come again.
