The Annexe, St Raphael

I spent a very happy week in the Annexe at St Raphael, the perfect place to escape from reality and relax. First impressions could not have been better - a beautifully tended garden and well appointed, comfortable accommodation, full of character. Best of all, a warm and friendly welcome from the owners Pat and Dave. There is so much of interest in the surrounding area, more than I could manage in a week, so I hope to return for another visit. 5 stars

This is a fantastic getaway place. Beautiful annex decorated in an artistic rustic style. Pat and Dave are lovely hosts. Gardens wonderful with Dave's sculptures sensitively placed amongst the flowers. Area is great for shorter walks and we loved the walk to the Peter Tavy inn for excellent food..pie recommended. Another place for great food is the Dartmoir inn which is a short drive away.

This was our second visit as we liked it so much. If you want peace and quiet you couldn't find anywhere better run by Pat and David, a lovely couple who welcome you with a delicious cream tea in their beautiful garden. A perfect position for walking on Dartmoor or visiting the coast. There is also the benefit of 2 pubs within walking distance both doing good food and another within a 5 minute drive. We will be back for a third time!

What a fantastic haven! Pat and Dave are so welcoming and respectful of your privacy. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable accommodation in a great location with wonderful pubs within walking distance. We were welcomed with a delicious cream tea. A truly creative and inspirational place to stay, highly recommended, thank you.

A lovely little hideaway in a beautiful village on the edge of Dartmoor. Pat and Dave were wonderfully accommodating and kind, made us a delicious cream tea on arrival (even though we'd only told them last minute when we were arriving) and were there to ask questions when needed without ever being intrusive. Their garden is stunning and the Annexe is a wonderful little place to get away from the world. From the wood burner to the lovely outside tablet, the peg rail to the beautifully done up bathroom, you feel at home and in a secret place, the perfect place for a weekend break. Thank you!

Just about perfect, beautiful place a really fabulous garden, just a great spot to forget the M5! Pat and Dave made us so welcome in their charming environment. The Studio itself has a lovely interior with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Mary Tavy is also in a great position for exploring Dartmoor or the coast A cream tea when we arrived was fabulous! Three good Pubs nearby with good food, what more could you want--- We will be back!

I could not have chosen a more perfect place in which to write. Pat and Dave were discrete, sensitive hosts who gave me space and privacy while also offering warm hospitality. I found everything comfortable and welcoming and the garden is completely beautiful. Tavistock is a lovely old market town and my walks on Dartmoor were memorable - so much wild space and beauty. I would recommend this lovely location to anyone who wishes to step outside the 'madding crowd'. I lost track of dates and time during my stay and did not want to leave! Thank you for for providing such an enchanting experience.
