The Annexe

A lovely, quiet cottage, in a beautiful setting.

It was everything we needed from a holiday destination.

An ideal location as a base for 2 people to either relax in lovely surroundings and to explore the area, Petworth House is a must and seaside towns are not far away.

The owners were especially helpful.

A warm welcome, great location, peaceful and very comfortable.

Very happy with our stay

Very well equipped for two people.

Tv caused a few problems to start but we got the hang of it. Bed was so comfy slept really well. Super powerful shower.

Lovely cottage in the heart of the South Downs.

Very clean and comfortable. Ideal base for exploring the wonderful countryside and sights nearby. The owners were most welcoming and helpful. A very relaxing break.

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful annexe.

Our hosts Jo & Stuart were very kind. They made us very welcome. It was easy chatting with them. The welcome pack of in season veg was a delight. Our hosts always made sure that we were ok. The information pack was helpful. It was very peaceful there & it had a very comfortable bed. We slept well. The annnexe is very central for visiting other places.

The annexe was perfect!

Very clean and comfortable, it had everything we needed. In all the cottages and hotels we have stayed in the bed was the most comfortable- just like home. An ideal base for visiting the area, would recommend to anyone especially as Jo, Stu and Salty are so lovely. Friendly and welcoming but not intruding.

The Annexe is an ideal base for visiting the impressive stately homes and gardens of West Sussex, taking in the views from the South Downs and enjoying the wide variety of local attractions.

Whatever you choose to do, The Annexe welcomes you home at the end of the day.

We really appreciated the care taken to make this property comfortable, smart and welcoming.

There were so many extra touches, homemade shortbread and two cucumbers from the poly tunnel and a good bye present of sweet peas. We also appreciated the extra supplies under the bathroom sink. Jo was so kind to us even helping us to bring our Sainsbury's delivery inside.

Lovely property.

Ideal for couples. Owners very welcoming and helpful. Well situated in the middle of West Sussex. Had a lovely relaxing stay.

Property warm, cosy and in good order.

Facilities all modern. Just need lids for a couple of saucepans!

We were made very welcome from the moment we arrived by Jo and Stuart the Annexe was clean and comfortable to relax in after a days walking in the lovely countryside.

We would be happy to return sometime in the future

Lovely comfortable house.

Perfect host lots of local knowledge. Happy to share their Lovely garden. Perfect place to go for a quiet restful holiday

The Annexe is a lovely place to stay!

It has everything that you need. A brilliant shower and (unlike other places), no scrimping on the toilet roll!! Jo, the host, was great! Very helpful indeed, and had left some foodstuffs in the kitchen which was very welcome. Jo’s homemade ginger shortbread was delicious! Comfortable bed in a very large bedroom. Hairdryer provided. The lounge was great. Two sofas and a dining table. I cannot fault the place. The only drawback is that I couldn’t stay longer. Please keep this to yourself as it may get booked up and I won’t be able to stay again

Thank you for being such a friendly and helpful host.

In the modern world of any communication being on-line only, we found it particularly reassuring when you texted us, prior to our visit, giving us your contact details and making it clear that you were ready to help us. A very comfortable property in a very beautiful part of the country. Thanks again Steve and Rachel

The Annex is a lovely place stay, with lots to do in Petworth, Midhurst and around.

The National Trust's Petworth House is excellent, it has a stunning collection and great walks in the park

The host was very helpful and thoughtful and the setting is lovely.

The location was an easy drive to Goodwood. The area has good pubs and the Petworth House and Park were great to explore. The property is as described, so not the best for people who have problems with steps. A tall person might have to watch his head in the bedroom which has a sloped ceiling. Good place for a short stay.

Jo was very welcoming, helping me find the Annexe easily after a long drive; there was a beautiful jug of flowers on the living room table along with some home made shortbread and fudge (MUCH appreciated).

She also provided a wealth of information regarding local geography and attractions. I would definitely recommend this place and hosts to anyone considering a visit to the South Downs.

Had a wonderful week staying here.

Nice and quiet with awesome views. Easy reach of places to visit and some lovely places to eat. Jo and Stu were very welcoming and were the perfect hosts. Property was very well equipped nicely laid out. Bed was very comfortable ( slept Like a log). Every where was very clean and tidy. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would certainly come back again. Well done!

Clean, comfortable and well equipped in a peaceful rural location.

The owners, Stuart and Jo, proved to be great hosts and I would definitely be happy to stay in The Annexe when next in the area. Perfectly placed to enjoy visiting the many castles, stately homes and gardens on offer in West Sussex. Thank you. :-)

We really enjoyed our stay in the Annexe.

It's a modern property - on two floors - in a very attractive area. Petworth House and the South Downs are minutes away, and there are local attractions in all directions. There are country pubs, vineyards and local breweries too. We were eager to go out every day, and happy to return. Henry and Freda

The Annexe is well equipped, clean and in lovely surroundings.

The area is quiet and great for a relaxing break but also provides easy access to places of interest. There is plenty of room indoors and out to relax and unwind. Jo and Stuart are very friendly and welcoming, the flowers and homemade treats were a lovely touch. We would definitely stay again when visiting the area. Angie & Mike

What a lovely idyllic place to stay loved every minute thanks to Jo and Stuart making us so welcome Stan & Pam

The Annex is very comfortable and well laid out.

There is a huge comfortable bed. The welcoming homemade biscuits and truffles went down a treat. There are brochures on local sights. There is minimal light pollution and it is very dark and quiet at night. What makes this stay special are the hosts Steve and Jo. They are very approachable, funny and a wealth of knowledge about the local area. Their own lifetime experiences are fascinating and makes staying here just that bit more special. We will be back, but in the meantime have contacted our friends to stay at the Annex.

Very spacious and good facilities.

Within a couple of hours of arriving at the property I was taken to hospital so I missed living there on the the other hand Jo and Stu were brilliant hosts and couldn't do enough to help my husband whist I was in hospital. We will definitely be back to complete the holiday I missed. Everything was very comfortable especially the bed! Thank you for your continuing concern about my health.

A lovely cosy quiet cottage.

We equipped and comfortable. Good location for exploring the lovely county of Sussex. Thank you Jo and Stu for making us so welcome.

A friendly welcome from Jo to a lovely secret holiday venue in the privacy of their garden.

The flat provided everything we needed for a quite week in the beautiful countryside around Petworth.

Very welcoming and approachable host, offering suggestions where to visit and eat (thanks for the pecan pie recommendation - it was splendid!

). We mentioned using the fire pit one night and chairs were put out for us, but Storm Kathleen put a stop to that idea, sadly. Sweet treats and flowers awaiting us and a little birthday treat too, which was a lovely suprise. Everything you could need for a warm and comfortable stay; we really didn't want to leave. Thank you Jo, Stuart and Salty for such a lovely holiday

A very warm, clean and comfortable cottage.

We were very happy to be able to book this at short notice and would certainly recommend it to others. Very friendly and helpful welcome from the owner.

Couldn't have wished for a better location for our four day break in the heart of the Sussex country side.

The Annex was neat & tidy and Jo the owner messaged us on the way to say she had left a jug of milk to make tea on arrival plus some fresh flowers and a jar of local honey! The Annex is to be found as advertised and we will certainly be returning for another break in the future. Some very nice places to eat if you want to eat out, recommend The Crickers in Duncton but you will find all you need in way of kitchen equipment if you wish to eat in.

One word Perfect Liz and Dave

Very nice one week stay.

Utilised for mini-holiday and visiting friends & family. The fact that no pets allowed is very important to us for health reasons. No issues to report, owners very nice and friendly. Went to the Arundel festival while we were there, good day out. The Cricketers pub is nice and is a lovely walk across mostly countryside, takes about 40 mins. Would recommend.

Lovely stay at the Annexe The owners communicated well before we arrived, with specific directions, but the property was easy to find.

in any event. Only issue I found that, with a large car, it was quite tight manouvering through the gates into the second courtyard where the annexe was located, however the owners opened the bottom gate to the property which allowed us more room to access from the second entrance which was appreciated. The property itself was very clean and well appointed, the owners had kindly provided a welcome pack of bread/milk/coffee/biscuits etc which was a nice touch. Main bedroom was large and the bed was comfortable, all good there. The main living area had 2 sofas, which is good to spread out, although we found the various controls for the TV a wee bit confusing, but got there in the end The annexe is built next to and above the owners garage, so most of the accomodation is above the garage, apart from the kitchen and utility which were obviously downstairs. Be aware that the mechanical noise of the power garage doors is obvious from the annexe, and it took us a minute to realise what this was- perfectly reasonable for the owners to access the garage to go about their daily business of course, but it might be useful to make guests aware of this in advance. We booked the annexe as a base to attend the Festival of Speed which is only about 5 miles away, and it is perfect for that and to explore the surrounding area. Recommended

will happily book again
