   Lovely renovated barn. Great kitchen and living area. Cosy with underfloor heating throughout and a log fire. Easy check in with keysafe and directions. Well situated Stayed at the Run in West Lavant. 10 mins away from Chichester. Royal Oak pub 20 min walk away was perfect for a pint and with great food. Good walks locally, recommend the Trundle with fantastic views. Only minor gripe was not enough matching glassware and crockery- but certainly did not detract from a super break.

   We loved staying at this charming little cottage. Carefully restored, a blend of nostalgic charm and modern comfort. Perfectly located in the charming village of Emsworth, close to all amenities, shops, pubs and beautiful wild walks along the sea. The cottage is tastefully decorated and furniture of of good quality. We especially appreciated the super comfortable bed. It is very well equipped and well maintained containing all that we needed. Overall cleanliness was very good. We really appreciated the personalised brochure left by the owners. The whole property is extremely cosy and welcoming and we were very comfortable during our stay, a home from home... whether it be looking out onto the water watching the swans go by, or warming toes by the open fire... thank you for hosting us and we hope that you will welcome us back next time we come.

   We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cottage which is perfectly placed to enjoy Emsworth and the surrounding area. We did lots of lovely walks swam in the creek a couple of times, and visited Portsmouth harbour and Southsea. Looking out over the water is lovely and we were lucky enough to have the weather to breakfast in the secluded suntrap rear garden. The cottage is well equipped, could do with a new matress in master bedroom though as we found it really hard and uncomfortable, more hanging space and somewhere to put stuff in the shower. We really loved Emsworth.

   We had a fantastic stay at this property! It was clean, spacious, and felt just like home from the moment we arrived. The house was very well equipped with everything we needed, from kitchen essentials to towels and beach gear. One of the highlights was the lovely swimming pool – perfect for relaxing after a day out. The location couldn’t have been better: just a short walk to the beach and very close to the high street, where we found great restaurants, shops, and cafes. Customer service was also excellent – friendly, responsive, and efficient throughout our stay. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient getaway with friends. Hope to return soon!

   We recently rented one of their homes on Airbnb and this company really reminded us why we usually avoid holiday rental companies and stick with private hosts. After a good experience with another local holiday rental company, we thought we would give Henry Adams a chance. Currently they are trying to charge us £100 for a broken fridge shelf which had a crack through it on arrival and unfortunately broke during our stay, on the last day, when we opened the fridge door. This was inevitable to happen during someone's stay and unluckily, it was during ours. We were not warned not to use it and because we forgot to tell them until a few days after we left, we offered to pay £50 for it (it costs £30 for a new one but this company needed professional help to slide a shelf in hence them demanding over £100 + VAT). Despite it not being our fault, we thought as a gesture of goodwill and because we forgot to tell them on checkout that it would be a nice thing to do. When they replied wanting over £100 plus VAT, they also accused us of using too much electricity during our stay and leaving the property dirty when we cleaned every room and always do, we are hosts ourselves and we even stripped the beds! On arrival, some areas were filthy and had at least a years worth of dirt (side of the sofas in living room, other fridge shelf) whilst many areas of the house were in need of replacing, worst of all was the very old 90's coil-sprung mattresses where you could actually feel the springs so we had to use a duvet from another room as a topper, downstairs bedroom smelt so badly of damp you could hardly breath in there and the rooms even had artex ceilings and other things that we have never seen in an Airbnb property before. We didn't think the lack of up-keep would backfire on us as guests, but annoyingly it did! However, we would not be leaving this review if they didn't deal so terribly with us letting them know about the fridge shelf (which included them denying it was ever cracked so they could charge us the full amount)! The fridge was so old there was yellow, crispy and dried milk all around the bottom shelf visible through a glass covering, which looked years old and was impossible to clean out due to this covering. Very off-putting. I wish I took a photo of this as then we would have proof of the crack too but we aren't petty people and just thought we very much won't bother booking with a rental company next time!

   Wonderful place:Spacious, very well equipped and lovingly decorated rooms. Nice beds, cool rooms on hot days (fell in love with the shutters!). Very light, windows everywhere. All one could wish for is present. Even perfect reading lights. Close to highway thus ideally located to make day trips and there’s easy on-foot access to large and small stores. Yet super quiet and tranquil place both during day and nighttime. Only sounds of birds.

   Sarah and Neil are exceptional nice hosts. Neil was always available via text to help with all our questions. The cottage is very cosy and provided towels and bedlinen. It was clean and very peaceful. The garden was full of exquisite artwork, which made it a joy to be outside, even when we did not travel anywhere. We will definitely try to come back. Thank you so much!

   Fantastic location with great views from the bright and airy rooms. It would benefit from a Welcome Pack we couldn't light the gas fire in the lounge and the maintenance man had to come out to assist. We also ran out of hot water and we had to find out how to switch on the boost. Lots of facilities and large comfortable rooms but only one proper shower. The location is great and there are many places to eat within a few miles. Recommended at any time of the year but maybe not for young children!
