Booked for our friend's and family visit. Easy walk to Emsworth. Very well equipped and comfortable. Key collection instructions and updates were excellent. Would definitely stay again
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Nov 2025
An excellent place to get away from the business of life, and rest, with wonderful view from the deck of the cabin. It looked out over a small estuary to the harbour, a very peaceful place. The access to the property was easy, and most things that you might need were within a short walk. The rooms were well laid out, very warm and comfortable. It did not feel cluttered but most things for cooking etc were available. Local cafe/restaurant available in the boat yard and Emsworth town centre about 10-12 minutes walk away. It's a good location to travel out from to other towns, gardens etc. Lots of foot paths nearby to walk around the harbour or the local wildlife areas. We really enjoyed our stay here.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Aug 2025
I have stayed in various deckhouses in Emsworth and particularly like this one due to its location.
The accommodation is very comfortable and inviting with all that you would need to make your stay enjoyable. Emsworth Village is within walking distance from the deckhouse with various places to eat in the evening and during the day.
I would definitely recommend this accommodation.

This is an excellent holiday home in a beautiful location. It was very well equipped, clean and very comfortable. We had everything we needed. We stayed there for Goodwood Festival of Speed and it is perfectly located for that and many other attractions. We had a great festival and holiday. We also visited Portsmouth, the Isle of Wight on the hovercraft and Arundel Castle. We will be back again.
