The ANNEX (George Guesthouse Cottages)

*** *** *** ***

Experience Sagada in quiet comfort. Here's how...


George Guesthouse Annex is a pleasurable fifteen to twenty minutes walk to the famous Sumaguing Caves. This pretty much saves the traveler additional expense in hiring a vehicle from the town proper.

The Hotel assists guests in the SOP Tourist Registration at the Municipal Hall. Tours could also be arranged upon request in coordination with the SAGGAS.

Aside from the caves, the hotel annex is also within walking distance from the Church of St. Mary the Virgin and the Echo Valley. Guests can enjoy an off-roader on foot through a lovely footpath behind the Annex that winds up the church hill past the ball field.

FOOD AND MORE
The Lemon Pie House is also near the Hotel Annex for guests to spend their snack time or tea time.
Should guests prefer to cook, stores along the road to The Annex sell some of the day's produce (fruits and vegetables) at really friendly prices. Plainly put: cheap fresh vegetables!
