The living space and kitchen are a good size and well equipped; the beds are very comfortable. Parking behind the property can be a little challenging with a big vehicle. It's also in a good location in the centre of Emsworth whilst still being pretty quiet. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent 25 May 2025 #### Great place for colleague to stay whilst working with us on a 3 week project Our colleague very much enjoyed his stay at The Hive - superb accommodation in great location in central Emsworth and with parking too Hope to be able to rebook in the future. Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Josephine T. 1 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely property Lovely few days staying at the hive. Beautiful house, all decked out beautifully and to a high quality. Location great! Wonderful service from the agents who quickly rectified an issue with the beds. We’ll definitely be back again! ##### Josephine T. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent 2 Mar 2025 #### 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. From a partner site ### 8/10 Good 22 Feb 2025 #### 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.

Our only disappointment was the lack of a microwave but otherwise it was just as advertised . ##### susan s. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deborah L. 22 Jan 2025 #### Long weekend Lovely cottage in the centre of Emsworth with off road parking. Well equipped throughout but missing a hair dryer and an information pack. ##### Deborah L. From a partner site ### 8/10 Good 13 Jun 2025 #### Perfect location A perfect location. Spacious accommodation. Unusual for a holiday let to have no information pack or any manuals for using appliances. A small niggle: the kettle either needs descaling or replacing. Water just dribbles out! From a partner site ### 8/10 Good 23 Nov 2025 #### Location was everything. We stayed here in the summer. Such a great location we came back in winter. While upstairs was warm the underfloor heating downstairs did not work effectively despite the best efforts of the agent. It was very cold outside during our stay and it only warmed up inside when the sun shone through the windows. Two criticisms: the seating in the living area is not comfortable and no effort has been made to make the area feel cosy. Few ornaments and no pictures make the large room feel rather stark. The folding doors do not fit properly and added to the problem of keeping the large living room warm. We also found the back door impossible to open at times and ended up using only the front door. We hope the owners find a buyer soon. Despite our criticisms we enjoyed our stay because of the wonderful location. ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [The Skipton Hotel - Formerly Hotel Rendezvous](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skipton-Hotels-Hotel-Rendezvous.h41466.Hotel-Information) > - [OYO Shanklin Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shanklin-Hotels-OYO-Shanklin-Beach-Hotel.h7539838.Hotel-Information) > - [Brock Cottage private Hot Tub DOG/Cat FRIENDLY\* with on site fishing](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pickering-Hotels-Spacious-Stone-Cottage-DOG-FRIENDLY.h36805890.Hotel-Information) > - [Crafted at Powdermills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Battle-Hotels-Powdermills-Country-House-Hotel.h195688.Hotel-Information) > - [voco Lythe Hill Hotel & Spa by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haslemere-Hotels-Voco-Lythe-Hill-Hotel-Spa.h517258.Hotel-Information) > - [Bear Lodge - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Bear-Lodge-Aspinall-Foundation.h40101484.Hotel-Information) > - [DoubleTree by Hilton London Elstree](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Borehamwood-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-London-Elstree.h18549.Hotel-Information) > - [Chimney House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sandbach-Hotels-Chimney-House-Hotel.h527768.Hotel-Information) > - [Hampton by Hilton Canterbury](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canterbury-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Canterbury.h66541221.Hotel-Information) > - [Pinewood Camping Pods - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Pinewood-Apinall-Foundation.h40101599.Hotel-Information) > - [Exeter Rougemont hotel by Sunday](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exeter-Hotels-Exeter-Rougemont-Hotel-By-Sunday.h7784.Hotel-Information) > - [Mermaid, Ipswich by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ipswich-Hotels-Mermaid.h31883430.Hotel-Information) > - [Wild Rose Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Appleby-In-Westmorland-Hotels-Wild-Rose-Caravan-Park.h24459296.Hotel-Information) > - [Sandman Signature Sheffield Quays Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sheffield-Hotels-The-Quays-Hotel-Sheffield.h46197620.Hotel-Information) > - [Crow Wood Hotel & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burnley-Hotels-Crowwood-Hotel-Spa-Resort.h38222710.Hotel-Information) > - [Lock Keeper, Worksop by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worksop-Hotels-Lock-Keeper.h27479298.Hotel-Information) > - [Skegness The Royal Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel-Skegness.h23931999.Hotel-Information) > - [The Swan Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wells-Hotels-The-Swan-Hotel.h26791.Hotel-Information) > - [voco Leicester by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leicester-Hotels-Voco-Leicester.h76596043.Hotel-Information) > - [The Stables Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Stables-Whitby.h23322490.Hotel-Information) > - [Soar Mill Cove Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Soar-Mill-Cove-Hotel.h2042032.Hotel-Information) > - [The Aviator, formerly Smugglers Cove, Clacton On Sea by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clacton-On-Sea-Hotels-Smugglers-Cove-By-Marstons-Inns.h35853904.Hotel-Information) > - [Canterbury Bell, Margate by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Broadstairs-Hotels-Canterbury-Bell.h33103125.Hotel-Information) > - [Samsara Retreat and Yoga - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maidstone-Hotels-Samsara-Retreat-And-Yoga.h41349775.Hotel-Information) > - [Seven Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southend-On-Sea-Hotels-Seven-Hotel.h19282555.Hotel-Information) > - [Yeoldon House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bideford-Hotels-Yeoldon-House.h2764122.Hotel-Information) > - [Wild Thyme & Honey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-Wild-Thyme-Honey.h9241983.Hotel-Information) > - [Cromer Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cromer-Hotels-Cromer-Country-Club.h1927781.Hotel-Information) > - [Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-Milton-Hotels-Chewton-Glen-Hotel-Spa.h528432.Hotel-Information) ---
