On arriving at Annies, our first impression was Wow,
The cottage had retained lots of period items yet had all the modern necessities you could ask for; we were very pleased to find a welcome pack that even included biscuits.
The whole cottage was well furnished and clean as was the small patio area at the back of the cottage. The beds were comfortable, bedrooms were light and airy and the bathroom, with a shower, toliet and a bath was very impressive. Annies also has a toilet downstairs, which was very convenient
Once settled in we started to discover lots of little gems, being of a more mature age, these brought back memories from the past, the metal shoe lasts brought back memories of taking shoes to the Cobbler and seeing them being repaired on identical lasts. Memories are very important for my wife who has a diagnoses of Alzheimer's'. She was able to relate to past memories which made her feel at home, normally she would be anxious in new surroundings, but this was not the case during our stay at Annies. Hopefully we will all return soon.
