Had a fantastic stay at ‘The Hive’ in Emsworth. It was exactly as described and the perfect little bolt hole to use as a base whilst visiting family and exploring the south coast. The customer service was exceptional. Special shout outs go to Charlotte, Molly and Laura all of whom were very helpful and provided prompt replies. We’ll stay here again and use Henry Adams again for sure!

This property could not be better placed in Emsworth, very close to the village centre with some nice shops, pubs and a couple of higher end restaurants if pub food is not to your choosing. Despite being so close to the village centre it was very quiet at night and we slept very well in the enormous beds. Our dog loved staying in this property and there is a good dog walk within a few steps of the cottage. The only minor quibbles are that there was no can opener and there was no toilet paper to be found on arrival (surely an oversight!) but as I say plenty of shops so not beyond the wit of man to solve that problem.

Thank you for your lovely review! We're so glad you enjoyed the location and that you (and your dog!) had a comfortable stay. Those big beds really do make a difference! Apologies for the missing toilet paper—we do usually make sure there’s some left, so we’ll look into what happened. Hope to welcome you back to Emsworth soon!

Lovely Property in central Emsworth

Had a wonderful stay at the Hive which is located in central Emsworth. The location is 30 seconds from the town centre and access to the property was a breeze.

Property is clearly recently refurbished and bathrooms are very nice and modern, as is the kitchen. Plenty of linen and beds were very comfortable.

There were no major issues but the house wasn’t super clean and there were a couple of issues which would be good to know for future guests - no toilet roll was provided on arrival, just empty cardboard rolls, would be good if this was supplied as we arrived at 10pm at night and then had to go hunting for a supermarket.

Secondly, a number of the items in the kitchen were dirty so had to wash up a number of items before use, this I can live with but a little frustrating when you arrive and lastly there is a lot of out of date items in the fridge and cupboards e.g olive oil was out of date by 6 months. All these elements together give me an impression the cleaners aren’t focusing on the details.

Lovely cottage in the centre of Emsworth with off road parking.

Well equipped throughout but missing a hair dryer and an information pack.

This is a lovely 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom property. The garden doors open all the way which is so nice on a warm day. Nice quite location with local shops nearby for all you need. The local butchers are great!
Smart TV so you can login to all your own services.
Cleaning products provided for included for washing machine and dishwasher.
Even sun screen!
Oven and microwave which are easy to use. I honestly feel that Henry Adams should be more descriptive with this property as it really is perfect. We were here for a week and wanted to extend further. Portsmouth and Chichester town centres are a very short drive away so Emsworth for us was a great location.
I must also say that the customer service is top notch. Very helpful and quick to respond with our numerous queries. Thank you so much for everything.
