Our only disappointment was the lack of a microwave but otherwise it was just as advertised . ##### susan s.

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! This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 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. ### 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 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 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. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 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. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Coppid Beech Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bracknell-Hotels-The-Coppid-Beech-Hotel.h3809.Hotel-Information) > > [Carden Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Carden-Park.h190780.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h7234788.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stansted-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Stansted-Airport.h18464320.Hotel-Information) > > [Stratford Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Stratford-Manor.h27936.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashford International Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Ashford-International-Hotel.h527123.Hotel-Information) > > [Retallack Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Columb-Major-Hotels-Retallack-Resort.h4537229.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Sand Bay Holiday Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weston-Super-Mare-Hotels-Sand-Bay-Holiday-Village.h11443695.Hotel-Information) > > [St Michael's Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falmouth-Hotels-St-Michaels-Resort.h2951426.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Stratford Upon Avon by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Stratford-Upon-Avon.h11307.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Norbreck Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Norbreck-Castle-Hotel.h6377.Hotel-Information) > > [Eastwell Manor, Champneys Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Eastwell-Manor.h905662.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelot Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tintagel-Hotels-Camelot-Castle-Hotel.h8083111.Hotel-Information) > > [Hollins Hall Hotel, Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shipley-Hotels-Hollins-Hall-Hotel.h63744.Hotel-Information) > > [Chesford Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenilworth-Hotels-Chesford-Grange.h920291.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Burstin Hotel Folkestone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Folkestone-Hotels-Grand-Burstin-Hotel-Folkestone.h1201483.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mill Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-The-Mill-Hotel-Spa.h1695656.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel Manchester Ashton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashton-Under-Lyne-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Manchester-Ashton.h1848975.Hotel-Information) > > [The Winchester Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-The-Winchester-Hotel-Spa.h26080.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton at St George's Park, Burton Upon Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Hilton-At-St-Georges-Park.h5094740.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel Manchester, Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Manchester.h120016.Hotel-Information) > > [The Spa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Royal-Tunbridge-Wells-Hotels-The-Spa-Hotel.h8849.Hotel-Information) > > [Hythe Imperial Hotel Spa & Golf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Hythe-Imperial-Hotel-Spa-Golf.h9108.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rutland Arms Hotel, Bakewell, Derbyshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bakewell-Hotels-The-Rutland-Arms-Hotel.h792056.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Beach Club & Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Harbour-Beach-Club-Hotel-Spa.h2261933.Hotel-Information) > > [Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newquay-Hotels-Fistral-Beach-Hotel-And-Spa-Adults-Only.h1895493.Hotel-Information) > > [Worcester Whitehouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worcester-Hotels-Worcester-Whitehouse.h18498.Hotel-Information) > > [Cotswolds Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-Cotswolds-Hotel-Spa.h13106835.Hotel-Information)
