Hollybank House
Hollybank Lane, Emsworth, Hampshire, PO10 7UN, England
Secluded South Downs retreat
Hollybank House B&B is a glorious Georgian country house on the outskirts of Emsworth, with distant views south over Chichester Harbour. It’s a delightful alternative to a luxury hotel, with four huge guest bedrooms and ten acres of grounds.
Each room is beautifully appointed with period furnishings complementing very modern comforts. All have plenty of seating and ensuite bathrooms, fluffy white towels and quality toiletries. Flat-screen TVs, superfast wifi, and hospitality trays are naturally included. The guest bedrooms are a good size, and one is a family room, with an extra single bed and plenty of space for more. Views from the bedrooms are over the garden, across woodland, or south towards Chichester harbour.
Hollybank House is very much a family home, but guests here are free to make use of the many rooms downstairs. The house was built in 1825 – though some of it is much older – but it wears its age with an elegant grace and all the rooms are light and airy. Hollybank House is licensed, so you’re welcome to help yourselves to a drink from the honesty bar.
The ten-acre grounds are a further highlight, especially in the summer when the lawns come alive with games of croquet and boules, and there is also a tennis court.

Location
Hollybank House is beautifully set at the foot of the South Downs National Park, with plenty of walking trails from the door. The beaches of West Wittering and Haling Island are close by, as are Broadmarsh Coastal Park with its prolific birdlife. Fishbourne Roman Palace is fifteen minutes away, as are the port cities of Portsmouth and Chichester. It's a great place for visitors to Goodwood - with Roz a great source of insights - and Emsworth also has a train station for visitors arriving by rail.
Reviews
"Wonderful large and stylish house. Fantastic food and great friendly and informal hospitality. We stayed for just one night in a lovely comfortable room and enjoyed a great breakfast in the morning. We will definitely be returning. Highly recommended."
