About this property

The Annexe, quintessentially English, but with a French/Moroccan flavour.

The Annexe ….has it’s own signature style. Experience simple luxury in a relaxed atmosphere - English with French Moroccan influence.

Nestling at the edge of a beautiful open field in the heart of
Chipping Campden. A babbling brook outside your window, great bed, fabulous shower and cosy kitchen/diner to cook up a storm if you’re having a night ‘at home’. Walking distance to the High Street if you’re not…… with plenty of great bars and restaurants to drink and dine. A spiral staircase winds it's way up to the main bedroom and bathroom. Savour some al fresco dining under the wisteria arbour in Summer, play pooh sticks in the brook, snuggle up on the sofa and enjoy the view on a frosty morning. The Annexe has it all: wellies, sunhats, umbrellas, hot chocolate, lemonade, books, music.

A perfect cottage for two providing a romantic place to kick back and relax (talking/reading/chilling) or to explore (walking, the races, Campden literary festival, music festival). Interested in craft - join a two day hat making workshop @ louisepocock.com or flower workshops @ academyofflowers.com - both located on the High Street. More than a holiday let, a home from home you won’t want to leave.

Come and stay with us. We’d love to meet you.

Excellent Property in the Perfect Location
My 3 week stay at the Annexe was a delight from beginning to end. It’s a very stylish and beautifully decorated property in an excellent location just off the high street in Chipping Campden. It was a joy every morning, coffee in hand, to swing open the french doors in the sitting room and gaze out onto the field and listen to bird song. The hosts are very generous and responsive, with every possible detail provided for; the bed was extremely comfortable; the decor enjoyable to simply look at; and just an overall fantastic stay!

A perfect spot!!
Alice and Jerome provide everything you could want or need in a setting both comfortable and inspiring. Tastefully appointed, the accommodations invite a relaxed opportunity to base your exploration of gorgeous town and countryside. We remarked that the experience was that of existing within a painting or idealized guidebook representation. And…the best of the stay were the host and hostess who could not have been more gracious or accommodating.

Amazing cottage in a lovely village
We had a wonderful time at the Annexe. The setting was gorgeous and the cottage was decorated in a beautiful way. They thought of everything you could need plus more. Jerome and Alice were great to deal with. You can tell that their cottage is a labor of love as they have so many personal touches added. We had the great opportunity to celebrate the coronation picnic and party with Alice and Jerome. We had such fun. We didn’t know anything about the Cotswolds when we planned our trip and we feel so lucky that we chose to stay at the Annexe in Chipping Campden

Countryside Charm
This was the PERFECT way to begin our UK travel experience (Cotswolds, Edinburgh, London). The quaint historical village, the ease of access to nearby Cotswold landmarks, and fully equipped property eased us into a relaxing vacation. Jerome and Alice were kind, discreet, generous, welcoming, and provided thorough information to make our stay exceptional. We didn't want to leave!

Charming Cottage in the Cotswolds
If you want a cottage that will get you in the right frame of mind for the Cotswolds, you couldn’t do better than Jerome and Alice’s Michaelmas Cottage. Charming is the defining word for both. And, it actually sits about 10-15 feet from a foot path that is part of the Cotswald Way. There are so many useful and thoughtful provisions, decorations, books, art, and furnishings, we couldn’t possibly take advantage of all of them in our 4 nights here. There was milk, hard cider, and cold glasses in the fridge and a $20 gift card for one of the fine food shops in the village to get us started. Many useful and beautiful books on the area, with a persistent French theme throughout the house that we appreciated, as Paris is our next destination. The kitchen is extremely well supplied, as are the bathrooms. The bed is firmer than we are used to, but we slept well. One note of caution: the combination of the sloping ceiling in the bedroom upstairs along with scarce floor space for moving around the bed made for several head knocks. Still, we were appreciative of having bathrooms both with the bedroom and downstairs off the spacious living room, which more than makes up for the cramped bedroom. Jerome and Alice themselves are gracious hosts and interesting and interested people. Should we ever be fortunate to return to the Cotswolds, this will be our preferred lodging.

About the host

Host profile image
Jerome and I are both retired and have four grown up children dotted around the UK. We love meeting new people and hopefully look forward to welcoming you to the Cotswolds very soon.

Why they chose this property

We moved to Chipping Campden initially for two very practical reasons - to be closer to work and to downsize. There was no romantic vision of country living or any desire to live 'the good life', but the beautiful buildings and honeyed stone captured our imaginations and our hearts. Our children had all left home, living in the city of Birmingham held no charm any more and the Cotswolds beckoned. Alice knew Campden through her work and after a couple of initial forays we began the search in earnest to find the right home somewhere in the North Cotswolds, but with a particular soft spot for Campden. Michaelmas Cottage came onto the market and the rest is history. Quite simply we fell in love, practicality and reason were muted and every aspect of the cottage, garden, and location made an impression that was impossible to ignore. After 3 years here each day still brings fresh surprises and never disappoints. Campden really is the land of milk and honey and it has become something we want to share - we know whoever you are, wherever you come from, time spent here will be time well spent.

What makes this property unique

The Annexe is unique within Chipping Campden because it doesn’t strive for perfection but offers excellence. Comfortable, stylish, relaxed and informal - the space allows guests to completely switch off from all the hassles of life and really find both peace and fun.

We have lovingly brought the Annexe together over several years, carefully choosing furnishings and fabrics to produce an eclectic mix. We feel we have created a place where people can be comfortable, stimulated and happy, lazy or energetic.

It’s a wonderful base for walking, cycling, riding, chilling and reading. Throw open the French doors over the Cam brook on a sunny day and the view before you is simple but sublime - find that moment of total bliss.
