"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.
Thank you so much John for the fabulous suprise of your drawing of Climping beach . Such a fabulous gift, which I will Frame and treasure. Would be delighted to host you again anytime . Property Owner

"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. :-)
Thank you for your review. Property Owner

"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
Thank you both for such lovely feedback. It was a pleasure to host you . Property Owner

"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
Thank you both for such a lovely review. We look forward to hosting you again . Property Owner

"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.
Thank you both for such kind feedback. We are thrilled that you had such a restful break before the new grandson arrives . We look forward to hosting you again . Best wishes Jo, Stu and Salty Property Owner

"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.
Dear Sandra and Bob We were so relieved to hear that your operation was successful and you are now out of pain . We would be delighted to host you again and thank you for your kind comments and feedback . Property Owner

"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
So lovely to read this kind review. Thank you both so much . Property 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.
Thank you for visiting us at the Annexe . It was lovely to meet you both . Property Owner

"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
Thank you for your comprehensive feed back. Hope to see you again for another Goodwood event next year . Property Owner

The property

Resting within the South Downs National Park, on the outskirts of Petworth, West Sussex is The Annexe, a delightful, one-bedroom dwelling.
Enjoying rural views and access to a pretty, shared garden, The Annexe offers a well-equipped base for a couple looking to explore the South of England and its delights.
Benefit from an off-road parking space, before heading indoors, to firstly reach the kitchen/diner, fully-equipped for a self-catered stay, with the benefit of a washing machine and a dishwasher.
Rustle up romantic meals to be enjoyed in the first-floor living/dining room, or make your way outdoors, to bask in your lovely surroundings with the fire pit alight.
Watch the stars appear overhead, before cosying up in front of the TV with two plush sofas to lounge into.
As day turns into night, climb into the sumptuous king-size bed, followed by a refreshing shower come morning.
Once you're ready to explore the county, start off local, where you can dine out, stock up on the essentials, and tour the magnificent grounds of Petworth House and Park, a National Trust property; Burton and Chingford Ponds Nature Reserve is also nearby for a nature-filled hike.
Travel towards Chichester for further attractions, where you can visit the Chichester Cathedral, tour Pallant House Gallery, discover The Novium Museum, attend the Chichester Festival Theatre for a host of shows, or head to the coast to traverse the Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The beach is also nearby, with Worthing and Littlehampton both home to bustling piers, where you can spend the day near the seaside, visiting a plethora of independent shops and sampling local menus.
Make wonderful memories at The Annexe.
