About this property

The Hive - a cottage that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

This charming cottage in the centre of Emsworth couldn't be a better spot to holiday close to the water. The hosts have gone to every trouble to finish the property to an incredibly high standard from the wonderfully equipped kitchen to the hotel quality bedding.

Entering the house through the front door straight into the kitchen area where you will find everything you would need to comfortably self cater for your stay including kettle, Hotel Chocolate coffee machine, dishwasher, electric cooker and gas hob, large fridge and freezer, wine fridge, microwave and toaster. The hosts have also provided a washing machine, clothes airer an iron and ironing board. There is a large kitchen island with seating for four where you can sit and enjoy whatever delights you have whipped up in the kitchen or enjoy a takeout from on of the local restaurants or takeaways.

The sitting room is open to the kitchen with plenty of comfortable seating and a large smart TV, the bi-fold doors are the width of the house and open onto the lovely sunny and private south facing garden.

Up to the first floor there is a super king to the rear which can be split into twin beds upon request at the time of booking. To the front there is a king room with an en suite shower room. The family bathroom is also on the first floor with a beautiful free standing bath with shower attachment.

There is one parking space available for guests to use, off road to the rear of the house.

The hosts at Nile Street will accept one well behaved dog.

This really is an exceptional property where any quest would be delighted to stay.

The perfect bolt hole with fantastic customer service
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!

Overall very good
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.

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.
