About this property

Blacksmiths Cottage - a cottage that sleeps 9 guests in 4 bedrooms

This charming early century cottage is the perfect blend of original features and modern conveniences. The hosts at Blacksmiths have just completed a facelift ready for 2024 so guests can look forward to a comfortable stay.
The large kitchen is furnished with everything you will need to comfortably self-cater during your stay. The kitchen includes oven, hob, freezer, fridge, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, kettle, washing machine and tumble dryer. There is a comfortable seating area overlooking the well maintained and tranquil garden. On warmer days there is a BBQ outside with plenty of outside seating and a shed at the bottom of the garden where you can store your bikes.
At the front of the house is a large cosy living area with a TV and a wood burner, the perfect room to snuggle down after a day of walking around Bosham harbour or even shopping in the nearby Chichester city centre.

This property has 4 bedrooms, a master bedroom with a super king bed and a shower room en suite, 2 king size rooms and a bunk bed room with an extra pull out bed. The family bathroom is on the top floor and has a bath and separate shower.
There is plenty of parking for two cars. Wifi is available.
Please note smoking or lit candles are not permitted in the house.

The house is situated to the east of Bosham which is a quaint village on the Hampshire/Sussex boarder. From the house you can walk to the shore within a few minutes passing through the village itself which is charming and has a collection of sweet little independent shops and two wonderful pubs, The Barclay Arms and The Anchor Bleu which are well worth a try.

If you venture into Chichester you will find a wonderful array of both independent and high street shops and boutiques. If you really fancy a treat book yourself a table at Purchases for a fabulous meal or just cocktails.

For a great day out you can easily reach Portsmouth Historic Dockyard or The Weald and Downland Open Air Museum, home of BBC's The Repair Shop, both places are great fun for any age group. There is outlet shopping, cinema complex and bowling at GunWharf Quays which you can easily reach by car or train from Emsworth. For something a little different you can book seal watching boat trips from Hayling Island or hire kayaks from Emsworth Marina.

Access to the races and Goodwood Motor Circuit is really easy from Emsworth making Brook House the perfect location for when you are attending The Festival of Speed, Glorious Goodwood or The Revival.

Outstanding holiday!!
Just had the most wonderful stay at Blacksmiths Cottage. The house was immaculately clean, very well maintained, spacious (enough for two families), warm and cosy and the beds and sofas were super comfy. The kitchen had everything needed for a pleasant stay, we literally didn’t need anything! It was nice to see the housekeeper also left her number on the blackboard should we need her! The garden was lovely and private and backs on to a quiet playing field which was a welcome surprise for kids! The house is also superbly located in a very quiet and peaceful sailing village in Old Bosham and a short walk away from the beautiful idillic estuary. When the tide is in the views are phenomenal. Loads of lovely walks to do as well! We ate at the Berkeley Arms & Anchor Bleu which were both very welcoming and dog friendly too, they even cooked them meals! For a bit of top nosh also try the MillFarm hotel too. The property is very close to GoodWood, the cathedral city of Chichester and the West & East Wittering beaches so plenty of things to thoroughly enjoy. Everything we needed was in the welcome pack or available online. Communication with Henry Adams was very professional and flowed easily. Would highly recommend and we’re very much looking forward to visiting again when we’re in the area.

Sad to see the deterioration
We stayed in this house several years ago and it was lovely. It is a shame that it is being left to deteriorate by lax cleaning and lack of maintenance. It seemed to us that the cleaners do the bare minimum of a quick wipe over of the main surfaces and that everything else has been left for months, or maybe years. We had to wash the cutlery tray ourselves before we could use it and discovered that the drawer underneath was full of crud. The oven hasn't been cleaned for a long time. The bins were covered in muck. The inside of the fridge and freezer had a layer of dirt. All the doors and skirting boards, radiators, windowsills and stairs were covered in layers of dust. The hoover hasn't been under the bed for a long time. The fireplaces were filthy, as were the drawers in the divan. There were cobwebs in all the corners and on ornaments. It all needs a serious deep-clean. As far as maintenance goes, there were several things broken or needing attention, such as the downstairs toilet seat, one of the blinds in the bedroom, the light over the shower and the paintwork everywhere. Some things were rusty, such as the light over the dining table and several door hinges. Some of the windows were draughty, despite being double-glazed. The floorboards upstairs were loose and broken, especially in the landing and the children's bedroom.
