With a fantastic outdoor space, this two-storey Emsworth home will have you praying for good weather. You'll love having drinks around the fire pit, while the alfresco dining spot is perfect for brunches. Luckily, the indoor area is an adequate substitute when the weather turns sour, though the lack of seating for everyone in the living room may be an issue. The third bedroom, complete with a bunk bed, is aimed at children – we think this makes the home best suited to a family or two couples who want to explore nearby Portsmouth and Chichester, along with the coast.

Home truths:
*The third bedroom has a bunk bed. We think this room is more suitable for children.
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There’s free parking here.
*If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
*Well-behaved pets may be welcome to accompany you during your stay – speak with your host if you want to bring a furry friend.
