Guests that stayed at this property said

Reviewers consistently noted the property's cleanliness, with comments on how well-maintained and tidy the space was upon arrival.

The property's proximity to the Festival of Speed and local eateries like The Cricketers, as well as its setting in the Sussex countryside, were highlighted as positives by guests.

Guests found the beds comfortable and the living areas cosy, contributing to a restful stay. The spacious main bedroom was specifically mentioned.

The property is well-appointed with necessary facilities, though some guests found the TV controls confusing and noted the noise from the power garage doors. However, these were minor points in otherwise positive feedback.

Hosts were commended for their thoughtfulness, providing welcome packs and treats. While these gestures were greatly appreciated, it should be noted that such extras, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

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.

  • Andrew

    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.

    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.

  • Stephen

    ). 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
