Far from 5*
Check in was straight forward, key in a keysafe by door. Dirty house, beds, cutlury, plates, greasy oven trays and pots. Very run down, badly maitained throughout. We were six people, the house could not realisticly accomodate more than 9. Spare beds kept in garden shed next to compost bags. Sadly I can not upload pictures. Left a lot to be desired. Maybe ten years ago it was almost 5* if it was ever cleaned properly. Emsorth andthe surrounding areas are very picturesque. It was waliking distance to the town, thankfully.

Perfect property for family holiday
We had a lovely family holiday in a great location. As a three generational family, the open plan layout of the property was perfect for spending quality time together. The location is excellent being only a short walk to both the beach and Emsworth. We were lucky with the weather so made the most of the beach each day. The garden was great for the children and our family dog as it was securely enclosed. Martine was a good host checking in with us whilst we stayed. A great time was had by all.

Family Holiday
The property is spacious with a great kitchen and living area for an extended family. Lots of toys and books for young children to enjoy. The enclosed garden has a slide, climbing frame, outdoor toys and small chairs & tables for children. An outdoor dinning area is also available for adults with a barbecue. The property is in an excellent location for short coastal walks, which can incorporate the harbour at Emsworth. Emsworth is a pretty village by the sea (10 minute leisurely and pleasant walk from the house) with an arrange of facilities, shops, restaurants, pubs etc. I would recommend a reservation at Nicolino's Italian Restaurant for fabulous fish dishes. There is a large Tesco in Havant (10 minutes by car). Hayling Island provides a traditional seaside environment with pebble beaches whereas West Wittering provides a wide sandy beach with shallows (great for young children) but its popular so book your car space beforehand online or alternatively, turn up early!

Had a lovely week in this substantial property which is perfectly located. The house has ample room and facilities and sits just a few minutes walk from the sea and woods. The location is perfect. Emsworth is a pretty and thriving town that has a number of very nice pubs and restaurants as well as a butcher and greengrocer and supermarket. The beach side walk from the property into the town I take about 20 minutes and is lovely. All in all a great stay.

Great house with everything you could need. Perfect for all ages (we had 6 adults, a 2, 5 and 6 year old) everything there for toddlers and young children - baby gates, high chairs, toys etc. Great location and nice little village and beaches a short drive away. Sun loungers would be a good addition. Overall a fab place to stay.

Incredible property in a perfect location
We have just spent a long weekend at this fantastic property and enjoyed every minute of it. Emsworth is a wonderful village with plenty of amenities whilst the local transport services (we used the train) into Portsmouth or Chichester are easily accessed and run at regular intervals. The property itself was an absolute pleasure to stay in with all the necessary resources available. The property was spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable to stay in. A real home from home. Would love to come back one day.

Sunny, spacious and family-friendly.
We had a lovely stay at Harbourways. The house is spacious, comfortable, bright and cheery. The kitchen is lovely and the garden has lots of fun games and toys for children. We loved being right down the road from the shore and an easy walk into the village. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Great Stay lovely village
Dear Martine, thank you for a great stay. We absolutely loved 'Harbourways', set in an idyllic position in the heart of Emsworth in a no-through road (except by foot to the beach). The house itself was exceptionally cosy and comfortable, very well equipped and easy to live in, we all loved the space. If you are looking for a unique and beautiful space to hold a family gathering, look no further. The outdoor space is also beautiful and great for the children or a chilled drink. I Googled the road before our visit - it's the most sought after road in Emsworth - when you arrive you will see why. Looking forward to our next visit in the New Year. Thank you again.

Excellent House.
The property was a very good size for a family stay of 12 - 8 adults 4 children. The jacuzzi is very large so can fit many people in. Lots of supplies in the kitchen for plates, cutlery, glasses etc. If staying in the colder months; I would recommend that you ensure you go and purchase wood and so on for the open fire as the front room doesn’t heat up as quick due to being a large room. Plenty of seats and space for all the family.
