A short YouTube interview in which Marie France Perkins (speaking with her husband Mark) describes running the annex Utrecht Cottage, a self-catering holiday let located between Bath and Bristol. She recounts moving into Yew Tree Cottage in 1992, having the annex built for her mother-in-law, renting it out after the mother-in-law’s death, and converting it into a holiday let after retiring from teaching eight years ago. The annex is in a small lane overlooking countryside about one mile from the nearest village shops and pubs.

Hello, I'm Ale France Perkins. I'm with my husband Mark. We run the annex Utrecht Cottage which is a self catering accommodation between Bath and Bristol. We moved into the Yew Tree cottage itself in 1992 and had the annex built for my mother in law but unfortunately when she passed away we rented it out. I retired from teaching eight years ago and decided to use it as a holiday let. We haven't looked back. The annex is in a small lane. It's overlooking the countryside. It's only one mile from the nearest vil shop and pubs. We really really enjoy welcoming people from all over the world and it is the best experience I've had. So this is us at Yew Tree Cottage.
