Clean, comfortable cottage in an excellent location. We used the trains to go on many trips rather than move the car. The mill pond path was quite narrow in places but we managed to park quite close to the cottage. The kitchen was the best equipped in any we stayed (apart from a dishwasher) and the downstairs loo took some time to get used to. Overall the cottage was very warm and there was ample hot water - perfect for a winter break.

A colleague stayed here for three weeks whilst on a work project based in Emsworth, He thoroughly enjoyed his stay due to fab location, water view, walking distance to work venue and Emsworth town as well as numerous walks by the water.

He hopes to be back.

We stayed recently at Compass cottage. It was in a great location overlooking a pretty pond. Only a few minutes walk into Emsworth.
Comfortable beds and nicely decorated and furnished. Small but perfectly formed. Would recommend it for 2 couples or small family.

We stayed over Easter weekend as we have friends who own a property on the same road. The property was perfect for our needs, bedtime and breakfast. We spent the rest of the day out and about. Seemed to have recently been painted and we had brand new towels. Stairs are a little dangerous for little ones but that isn't a fault it's just because it's a cosy cottage. We would stay there again if we couldn't find somewhere a little larger. We were 2 adults and 2 under 5s.

Our colleague thoroughly enjoyed his stay at Compass Cottage for three weeks.

Great location with easy walk to our office as well as a fab outlook over the Mill Pond.

Huge thanks to Henry Adams for looking after us all so well (we booked several properties).

Compass Cottage is a very sweet house set in a lovely area. The house is very well equipped and comfortable. The only downsides are the lack of parking and the downstairs bathroom. The bathroom is also low so those over 6ft will struggle a little. I will look to book again when visiting the area.



very clean, great location but....

Very clean, everything in the property in excellent order and in a lovely location overlooking the mill pond but it's impossible to park outside the property.
I know it's a small property and the modernization is the best it could be but the toilet/shower room is in the wrong place (at the back through the kitchen).
I also found the stairs to be very steep and difficult to use safely.
Im sorry but I would not recommend the property.

We stayed at Compass Cottage for a week

Communication with the agent was superb from start to finish
The cottage was spotlessly clean, warm and very well equipped. The beds were very comfortable

The location was excellent, some lovely pubs and restaurants within a few minutes walk away.

Parking wasn’t a problem while we were there - we were always able to park just a few spaces away from the cottage.

All in all an excellent stay and we look forward to returning again soon

Lovely cottage which is well equipped and in a great location. I stayed and easily worked from here for 6 weeks, everything was great. Beautiful views from the second you open the front door. Great location in the centre of Emsworth near the sea, and the independent shops, cafes and pubs.

A delightful little artisan cottage, with character features but very tastefully modernised for a comfortable stay. Beautiful ever-changing views across the Mill Pond with the turning tides. Lots of lovely walks from the doorstep, with no need to drive. Emsworth has everything one needs, with shops and eating places for every taste. Good transport links to Chichester, Fishbourne Palace and Bosham.

A most enjoyable week.

Fantastic stay at Compass Cottage. They kindly made up one bedroom as a twin for our two daughters. The cottage was very well equipped with everything we needed. Lovely location (parking was a bit tricky but we always found space in local car parks). A real home from home.



Excellent Short Stay!

I took Compass Cottage for a short break with my two grown-up sons.

The property was all that we required being close to the water and within easy walking distance to Emsworth town centre. The house was clean and modern and we were lucky to be able eat/drink outside in the compact rear garden, The bathroom was similarly in great condition although the ceiling height was somewhat low for two lads over 6'2"!

Charlotte at Henry Adams was very helpful.

Great place. Would look to book again in 2021!

The cottage was lovely, furbished to a high standard with everything we needed. The location was great, easy to use the pubs and restaurants, walks from the door and easy to get around the area. The beds were very comfy. Like others it is worth noting the ceiling in the bathroom is low meaning anyone of 6' of over might have trouble but the bathroom is nice with a good shower.

There were a few teething problems as the cottage had not been cleaned when we arrived. We got hold of the emergency number and within 10 minutes the cleaners were on the way to sort everything out. Given the circumstances this was handled well.

I would recommend a curtain over the front door for winter though. There is a draught which made the living cool when it was cold.

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Compass Cottage and made use of the excellent location. I'm so sorry that the cleaners were not with you in time. We are now changing the cleaners at this property to a local housekeeper so this does not happen again. We will pass on the feedback to the property owners in respect of the front door, this is very helpful feedback. Please do get in touch should you visit again.

The cottage has been modernised well. For older people, the bathroom downstairs is not ideal, with the bedrooms upstairs.
Although water front, overlooking the Mill Pond, it is not nearly as attractive as the views from Avocet Quay, where we have rented before, - but on the other hand, it is conveniently located near the village and near Emsworth Quay. Parking was a disappointment, - a space was never available out side the cottage, and the public parking lot is a little way distance, which is not so good in the rain! Nevertheless, it was a good rental and we enjoyed our visit.

Emsworth was a wonderful find peaceful and low key for both st south coast. Cottage was located on small residential road, mainly used by pedestrians walking their dogs, overlooking a mill pond. Cottage was comfortably furnished to a good standard. Good use was made of the space and well equipped. Raised deck area in garden gets a lot of sun. Central staircase is steep however the 6 year old staying managed it fine. More of a consideration is the sloping roof in the bathroom for very tall people. We enjoyed our stay and booking was straightforward.

Compass Cottage was very comfortable for a weeks stay, and warm and cosy during a chilly spring spell. The beds were comfortable and luxurious with plenty of pillows. There was plenty of bedroom hanging and drawer space. There was plenty of hot water in the newly renovated bathroom and I enjoyed baths when I had time. The kitchen is well equipped for self catering, although there also plenty of places to eat within a short walk. We have booked again for June and I look forward to coming back in the summer, and being able to use the rear courtyard on long summer evenings.
As well as places to eat and have morning/afternoon teas, there are butchers, green grocers, bakers, a deli, a co-op and more within a short walk. Walks around the millpond and along the coastline. Easy access to the A27 to either go west to Portsmouth, or east to Chichester and beyond. I stayed on my own this time to visit relatives but will be back as a couple soon.

We had a fine week at Compass Cottage in Emsworth!
Comfortable beds, nice bathroom, well equipped kitchen...

But one or two points we were not aware of:
no dishwasher (that was OK for us, as we only had tea and breakfast, no dinner cooked...)
staircase up to bedrooms is extremely steep, more like a ladder, not really good for my 77-year-old mother-in-law
there are no curtains at the living room window, so no privacy, as everbody walking past, just 2 metres away can look in

otherwise, it was a very pleasant stay!

This is a lovely, compact and comfortable cottage, very well appointed and newly fitted out. The open fire and stove add ambience - not that you need them because the central heating is very efficient and simple to use. The cottage was immaculately clean.

The cottage was very well equipped although most users would appreciate a cafetierre and for northerners (us) a teapot is essential. It would help if the recycling and waste bins carried the cottage name to avoid any confusion. Perhaps the letting agents could have a word with the lady in No 1: she lets her dog out into the narrow passageway in front of the cottages and we twice had a problem with dog dirt, narrowly avoiding walking it into the cottage.

It was a lovely gesture to leave us a bottle of prosecco!



Henry Adams Holiday Lets replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay at this Cottage and we are very happy you made use of the stove and enjoyed the new furnishings in the property. There is actually a cafetiere in the property but possibly this has been tucked away somewhere. I'll ask the cleaners to take a look for it. The property owners are going to purchase a teapot on their next visit for tea lovers! We will take a look at your feedback in respect of labelling the bins and keep an eye on the passageway. However there are details on recycling/ bins within the house manual. Please do visit again if you are in the area. We would be very happy to have you stay again.

Lovely bijou Cottage - pretty location, and well positioned for local shops, pubs, coffee shops and restaurants.
There is one problem - parking. This problem will be worst in summer. On street parking is mostly for local residents and the nearby free car park is much in demand from locals and holidaymakers alike.



Henry Adams Holiday Lets replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you for leaving your review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Compass Cottage. It is excellent for exploring Emsworth as everything is on your doorstep. There should always be a space outside the cottage but sometimes public that are unaware may accidental use it. You will find in the house manual there is also information on local parking. I will make a note on guest access details to take a look at this upon arrival for further information. Thank you again for your helpful feedback.
