Grace Cottage - Emsworth

This is a pretty, beautifully decorated cottage in a fabulous location. A short stroll to pubs/restaurants/cafes/co-op, tesco express, bakery, greengrocer and takeaways. There are lovely walks in all directions, cycling and paddle boarding and wild swimming from a shingle beach area.The small garden at the back is a real sun trap, we had breakfast there each morning and the patio outside the front door is lovely to sit on with a book or drink and watch the water and everyone going by. The parking space at the back is essential as the narrow road at the front was full virtually all the time. There is plenty of space in the house, 2 bathrooms and a toilet, but as others have said not much hanging space, It is pretty well equipped but I ended up buying a cafetiere as there isnt a coffee maker apart from a tiny stove top one which doesnt work well, and a plastic shower caddy as there is nowhere to put stuff in the ensuite shower. Sadly we both found the matress extremely poor and uncomfortable, hard, with pillows old and flat so we didnt sleep at all well. I know mattresses are personal taste but it does look an old cheap one which needs updating. Apart from coming home very tired we really loved our holiday in Emsworth and the area.

Grace Cottage is located in a wonderful setting fronting on to the Mill Pond Emsworth and was a perfect size for our multigenerational family of five. It is a very well modernised property with spacious, light and airy rooms throughout. As mentioned in other reviews there is a need for more hanging space as the only actual wardrobe is in the smallest double bedroom although the other two bedrooms do have plenty of drawer space. Generally well equipped otherwise our only suggestions would be for some smaller glasses and a refresh of the mugs, the freebies are OK but...... The outside space was disappointing as the back area had a lot of weeds and fallen leaves, the front area also needed a good tidy up. Also the plastic furniture at the front of the property has split in places, be sure to use the cushions provided. Henry Adams acted swiftly when we phoned to say that we had inherited two full bins and it would have been useful to know details of the Council's refuse collections as they do not collect from the Car Park entrance of the property. Also it would have good to know is that the entrance to the front door is via the steps for No.33 next door and the right-of-way in front of both properties. We enjoyed our stay immensely but feel that a little more attention to detail and few tweaks would lift this quite good cottage to something rather special.

Lovely house in a picturesque location in village centre. We have totally enjoyed our visit. Henry Adams is highly recommended both for value- their charges are very low, and the service when we did have a problem. Thanks Charlotte!
