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.

8 days in unique surrounds!

I was seeking time away in a peaceful, comfortable cottage with country views but still close to a classic authentic Cotswolds town. The Annex provided all of this in spades. It was a wonderful time for walking, exploring and relaxing, made so much easier by the thoughtfulness in every aspect of the stay provided by the lovely hosts. Highly recommended!

A perfect haven

The Annexe is a charming, beautifully appointed, cosy, comfortable cottage, perfectly situated just off the High Street and on the verge of the countryside. Alice and Jerome have thought of everything their guests might require (full modern bathrooms and kitchen necessities including a dishwasher, reliable wifi, good tv accessibility) and many things they will simply enjoy (a selection of beverages, robes and slippers, books, games) and were always available to troubleshoot, give advice and make suggestions. We had decided to make this a holiday with a difference, more restful, less hectic, and The Annexe was the perfect haven in which to carry this out. We were perfectly content to stay in, or to go out and enjoy the town of Chipping Campden, and the surrounding sights and countryside. We can't wait to make a return trip and would love to visit yearly from Canada.

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

Wonderful place to escape

Myself and my partner really enjoyed staying for 3 nights at The Annexe and highly recommend it. The place has so much personality with lots of attention to detail. It feels like the hosts have thought of everything to give you a nice stay. We were particularly grateful for the included £20 voucher for the local deli as well as lots of other goodies such as milk, snacks, pink bubbly and more. The location is great and it's only a 3 minute walk to the nice shops and restaurants that Chipping Campden has to offer. So many nice things to do around the area as well and the hosts have included lots of information on things to do and places to see. We loved our stay at the Annexe and very keen to return in the future!

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.

What can we say? Well we can start with the Annexe being the perfect base from which to experience Chipping Campden and the Cotswolds. Superbly appointed, creatively curated and blissfully peaceful the property is all you could ever ask for. Hosts Alice and Jerome couldn’t do enough without ever being intrusive. Highly recommended.

Cosy property full of character

We had a wonderful 4 days staying at the Annexe, Alice and Jerome were there to meet us when we arrived and show us around and were lovely hosts. The property was immaculate and had everything you could want, it was really spacious and had a lovely view from the sofa over fields and a small brook and an outside seating area in front. The Annexe is close to the centre of Chipping Campden with a good selection of restaurants and shop and we would not hesitate to stay here again when next in the area.

Lovely Cottage great location

The communication with the owners prior to our trip was excellent with almost immediate responses. We were met by Alice & Jerome on arrival and shown around. The cottage was really sweet and very comfortable, well equipped with everything you might possibly need and more! The little garden and terrace area were a bonus. The cottage was a one minute walk to the High Street in Chipping Campden so fabulous location. Highly recommended

Home away from home

The Annexe was perfect - it has everything, Alice & Jerome have stopped at no detail. We felt like we were staying in a boutique hotel, with more personality and better hospitality. You are in the heart of Chipping Campden with a babbling brook beyond the french doors, a public footpath steps away and all of the home away from home amenities you need (or wished you had!). What more could you want? We can't wait to visit again, thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Alice & Jerome Hoefkens

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.
