I booked this house for my 60th so I could have all my family together. 8 adults and a baby. Unfortunately due to the pandemic I needed to move the holiday by 12 months. Henry Adams were brilliant. So professional but also personal. Answered my emails very quickly and professionally. The house was just perfect for us all. It’s larger than it looks in the photos and everyone loved it. Family stayed for 3 nights and then just myself the hubby for 4 nights. As a family we spent most of our time in the kitchen and outside. The garden is stunning, we were very lucky to be there when the bluebells were out and the garden furniture is great as plenty of seating. At the end of the garden is a locked gate which you can go through straight into the park, perfect for the swings. We loved the area, plenty of walking. The house is about a 12 min walk to the water front and we had a lovely family meal at the anchor blue. Also lots of drinks there, it’s a beautiful setting. We went to west wittering beach, Isle of Wight on the hovercraft, Kingsley vale to see the yews, Chichester, west dean gardens and best of all Weald and downland outdoor museum. A brilliant week in a wonderful family house and garden.

Unfortunately, - Lack of maintenance. - instructions in booklet should be revised - alarm system unreliable - letter box damaged - water damage in kitchen - etc. Therefore the price is far to high.

Lovely house. Comfortable beds. Great location. Minor hiccough with outside bins not being put out by previous renters so full up. Easily remedied and not enough to spoil a great holiday. I am missing the ice cream from the van on the harbour.

Blacksmiths Cottage handy to the pub and walks. Garden lawn cut but borders like a jungle. Comfortable place to stay.

A clean, well equipped house in a great location. Close to shops, sea, railway station and great pub.

Blacksmiths Cottage, Bosham is a spacious, well equipped house in a great location. However, the last time we stayed there in 2019 we had serious concerns about many cleanliness issues which we conveyed at the time and for which the company apologised. We had hoped that these issues would be in the past, especially in the current Covid situation but unfortunately we discovered that they persist. On arrival the entrance to the house is dirty and unkempt, with cobwebs everywhere, two ancient milk bottles on the step covered in bird poo, and a post box crammed with yellowing leaflets. Incidentally the access instructions say the key box is by the side door – it is actually beside the front door. In the kitchen the inside of the oven door was covered in food splashes. The microwave was also really smelly and dirty inside. The hob splashback had many grease spots all over it. We had to clean all these before use. The widows in the dining area are badly in need of cleaning inside and out; when the sun was out it was difficult to see through them! Upstairs the first thing we saw in the master bedroom was a badly crumpled and torn vallance which was too small for the bed. There was no bedsheet, but the vallance was being used as the sheet. On stripping the bed at the end of our stay we were horrified to find the mattress topper was stained and had no mattress protector, also two of our pillows and two of the pillows in the other bedroom we were using had no pillow protectors – surely this should be a very important hygiene precaution. The toilet surface under the seat hinges was stained with, presumably, urine. In the front bedroom we found a used cotton bud on the floor next to the chest of drawers. The access arrangements said the gardener would call once a week. We saw no evidence of this and the garden, which is potentially a lovely feature of the property, was badly overgrown and weedy. Being told that we could not access the property until 4pm because of ‘deep cleaning’ reassured us beforehand but I’m afraid that the standard of cleaning falls far below our expectations and I believe those of most normal people. Doesn’t anyone from the company inspect holiday properties from time to time? It is a great shame that what could be a really nice holiday property is let down by these issues, and in the current situation cleanliness is more important than ever so it is very concerning when even basic standards aren’t met.

The cottage was really well equipped. it was nice and clean. Bosham is a lovely little village with gorgeous views over the estuary and good walks nearby and near great places to visit (Fishbourne / Chichester, West Wittering beach). We'd gladly stay again,

A very nice and well equipped property. A lovely garden and very comfortable furnishings. Brilliant location. Some small maintenance needed e.g. loose floorboards, doorknobs etc. However would not hesitate to return.

Loved this clean warm large cottage .Best beds ever. Everything on hand in the kitchen Few problems No Christmas Decorations had to go and buy a tree/lights etc as had our family & great grandchildren visiting and seemed sad with nothing show at Christmas NOTE ! No room in our car to bring any from home. Also arrived to no logs/wood or matches to start a fire.A small amount would have been a help Also would have liked a DVD player for the children's Xmas DVD presents .Really do need instruction book for the ovens Lovely & modern but needed help to work it

This is a great house - well kitted out for family life. Nice garden (though a little overgrown with brambles and nettles) with direct access to playground behind. Good location to explore Bosham and the surrounding area. It felt very spacious and luxurious! A great week!

We found a very nicely kept house with a lovely garden. Everything was prepaird and we could feel at home imediatly.

Very clean and well appointed. Thank you.
