Lovely Big house

We had a lovely stay at the house. This property is very close to the beach so we were there within a few minutes walk. We were even able to walk into Bognor Regis along the beach (which was a real workout as the beach is stones at high tide).

Great stay

We had a great stay in this lovely house. It was a bit hard to find, but once we got there, it was super. The beach, literally one minute away, was a great asset, but the location itself was also very relaxing, in a very calm, green and beautiful neighbourhood. A few cute squirrels kept us company. The house is very spacious and very clean. There were great tourist attractions in the vicinity. The gardens were larger than they looked on the pictures, and the back garden is completely private and all one needs on a nice day. We got immediate response when we reported a small issue with the dishwasher (which resolved itself by the way), even on Easter Sunday. We'd certainly come back!

Lovely spacious house in a seaside location

Lovely beach house in a quiet location in a private estate which would fit a family with children or just a couple. We ( a couple) stayed here as was close to our ongoing renovation. Would highly recommend for a holiday/ short stay. The owner kindly set up a work desk for my husband to work from home and Henry Adams addressed any minor issues immediately whilst we were there. Some improvements could be made to the house to make it really special with little investment.

Location and space

Blue Haze is in a great location a few steps from the coast and in a quiet and historic setting - the mature trees on the estate are just astounding. The gardens, drive and house provide plenty of space for grown ups, younger folk and dogs - a great spot for a week or more of sea air and country expeditions.

The property is in need of some updating. The hot water pump is loud, especially for the person in the room next door. This needs improving. Overall, it was okay but could be better. The location is good and estate very pleasant.

not a good stay

a lot of problems re heating, noice of boiler, sqeaky stairs, not cleaned as you would expect, windows dirty. a lot of money for what it was. not good overall.
Response from VrboOwner on 3 Feb, 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed and understand how upsetting the boiler noise must have been. We checked this in person shortly after it was reported and offered an alternative property while it was resolved, which you chose not to take, and the issue was addressed promptly. The other concerns weren’t raised during the stay, and we would have been happy to resolve them at the time. We always aim to respond quickly and fairly and appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

Good location quiet area

The property was very clean and comfortable. The location was ideal for exploring the area. It is on a private estate and was therefore very quiet. There was a private path for the estate residence to access the sea and beach, it took no longer than five minutes to walk. The property was spacious and light, with everything we needed for our stay. There is a couple of areas that could do with some maintenance. The mirror lights in the bathrooms didn’t illuminate, this wasn’t a problem for us but needs to be looked at. One of the small windows in the main double bedroom didn’t close properly, again this didn’t cause us a problem but could be looked at. Overall I would recommend this property and if in the area again i would definitely consider returning

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the cleanliness, comfort, and quiet of the property, as well as the easy access to the beach. We really appreciate your feedback about the lights and window and will look into these. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

It's a really lovely place, quiet, with beautiful trees all around. You can hear the murmur of the nearby sea. You can walk along the coast on the shingle beach and feel close to nature. The people residing on the Craigweil Estate are very nice. It's also a very dog-friendly area. My wife and I enjoyed our stay in the house very much.

Schönes Haus, in toller Lage

Das Haus liegt sehr schön in einer ruhigen Strasse. Die Zufahrtsbeschreibung war etwas verwirrend, da ein teil der Strasse durch ein permanents Tor gesperrt ist. ein Nachbar gab Auskunft, wie das Haus zu erreichen wäre. Die Beschreibung zum Finden des Schlüsselsafes war ebenfalls nicht korrekt, wir haben lange an der Rückseite des Hauses (wie beschrieben) gesucht, jedoch befindet sich die Schlüsselbox vorne im Vorraum. Der Pflegezustand des Hauses und des Grundstücks ist eher mittelmässig. Da kann man einiges verbessern. Alles in allem, wenn mann nicht so pingelig ist wie wir, aber in Ordnung.

Lovely house in need of some regular maintenance

The premises are spacious but in need of some routine maintenance. Whilst being scrupulously clean, some lights were not working, a toilet seat wouldn't stay upright, a toilet ballcock assembly was broken, there was no shower screen around a shower in the bath, guttering was blocked in several places, brambles in the garden were cut back but the cuttings were left in and on bushes, there were no full sets (for 6 people) of crockery or glasses, and more than one set of front door keys would be useful as not everyone goes out or comes back together. I cannot recommend this property in its present condition as far as condition and value for money is concerned, but for a relatively small outlay and some careful thought, the premises could easily go from 3 to 5.

Beautiful beach front house

Our family of 5 stayed here for 5 nights and we really enjoyed the house. I am originally from this area so I knew exactly where I was going. Considering the other reviews, it’s an older house which certainly has its few quirks but it certainly doesn’t deter from the overall amazing experience of tranquility, peaceful atmosphere and breeze from the beach. House is very spacious which was great for the 5 of us. We also hosted our English family to a meal there in the dining room and on the outside patio. It was truly very comfortable even hosting additional 15 people!

A holiday home that needs care and attention

Location was excellent - the beach very close and the estate very quiet. However, we were disappointed that nobody had noticed the head of the walk-in shower was broken. We didn't arrive at the property until the early evening, so we could not contact anyone about this until the following Monday (we could not truly classify this as an 'emergency' although it was very annoying). Having contacted the agents, the problem was subsequently rectified. The bed in the bedroom with the walk-in shower was not up to standard - it was uncomfortable (2 beds pushed together), no mattress protector or mattress topper, both of which could have helped, and the duvet cover and pillow cases had definitely seen better days. There was a lack of suitable cooking utensils - only 2 saucepans for a property catering for up to 7 guests? And if there was a teapot, we could not find it. In the main sitting room, there were small nails sticking up from several of the wooden floor tiles. I spent some time hammering these back in after one of our grandchildren caught her foot on one. This could be a lovely holiday home but needs work to bring it up to an acceptable standard.

A house in a wonderful location and just by a beach where dogs are welcome. The only problem in the house is the water pressure in the showers, other than that it’s a brilliant place to stay

Perfectly located, comfortable house.

Blue Haze is a spacious, comfortable, unfussy house, and perfectly located - for us, anyway. The house itself is in need of some tlc in most rooms, and a thorough clean in places, but the beds were comfortable with clean bedlinen and the lounge had plenty of space and comfy seating for five of us to relax. The rear garden needs a good tidy-up and both the garden gate and the front gate are in urgent need of repair. We'd stay again, but mainly because of the house's easy proximity to family.

In need of some TLC

The property is roomy and spacious and the both the property and all the linen were very clean. The location is in a very peaceful residential area and ideal for some P &Q . Also the staff were very helpful when we had come out without the front door key . However one bath mat shared between three bathrooms is not ideal. The house could do with some TLC and the garden is sadly lacking in care .

4/10 Poor

Feel disappointed and badly let down. We've booked with Henry Adams for years, what has gone wrong?

Two days before our arrival date we were asked to arrive an hour later so that the premises could be made Covid safe. However, the house had not been cleaned since the previous tenants and was in an appalling state. Given the pandemic this was exceptionally troubling. Three cleaners were dispatched, one stayed a short while and the other two spent a couple of hours clearing up the mess and trying to make at least one bedroom ready for us to use, clean the bathrooms etc., do their best with the kitchen, and hoover most of the food debris and feathers in the sitting room. Telling us they had seen worse was no comfort. Eventually we unloaded the car and stowed away our grocery delivery. It was after 9.00 when we switched on the smaller oven and the smell of burnt fat spread all round the house. Smoke billowed out, but no smoke alarm alerted us. We used the larger oven - free of fat but not as clean as it should have been. The beds that were made up had exceptionally hard mattresses, so the following day we moved the linen to the other bedroom. This was when we realised there had been no mattress protectors on those beds. I could go on. The place felt frowsy and unloved. Unable to relax, and feeling unsafe, we left after 48 hours. To date Henry Adams have failed to respond in any meaningful way to our complaints, blaming an issue of communication with the owner. Not a problem of our making but we are left out of pocket and very angry.
