Location and concept

The mattress was poor. Appreciate it’s a converted bed by quality of mattress and pillows spoiled the trip.

The breakfast was high quality. The extra touches such as prosecco and fluffy dressing gowns made it feel like a special experience. The pod was well designed and equipped, although bijou as expected. It was a unique experience.

Happy with everything although would be good to supply some more info/recommendations on activities in the area.

The location is amazing. It is so beautiful and so peaceful. The interior has been done to and amazing standard we felt very comfortable and didn't want to leave!

loved everything about this place

Great place to stay !!! Wonderful houseboat in an absolutely stunnig surrounding !! The perfect place to relax and enjoy !!

fully equipped, very comfortable, great location

parking, such a shame there is not dedicated parking for the ark, car park very small and not always guaranteed a space.

different a peaceful unique

really fun and quirky - amazed at how such a tiny space could contain everything needed for a really luxury weekend away. It was amazing to wake up to the views across the water and all the birds and boats. The hosts bent over backwards to make sure we had everything we needed and we can’t wait to book again.

Location was first class and very memorable

good location , well designed internally . cosy & comfortable .

This arc was in an incredible location and we enjoyed watching the tide come in and go out and just soak up the atmosphere of this lovely marina. We were also lucky with the weather and enjoyed having breakfast on the decking. The arc was also very comfortable and well equipped.

Location was excellent for getting into Emsworth and surrounding area. Breakfast provided was very nice and added bonus of free Netflix was appreciated. Bed extremely comfortable. Quiet surrounding area and feeding swans on decking area was lovely! Staff on harbour site and at local restaurant The Deck were wonderful!

Bathroom/shower area was very small but unsurprising for quirky nature of the accommodation.

A very well designed and comfortable holiday ‘pod boat’ with all facilities. Quality of the internal fittings and kitchen appliances is excellent and the welcome pack of breakfast food and a bottle of Prosecco was greatly appreciated! Delightful position berthed in a small marina with the coast path nearby and plenty of scenic walks, or just sit in the chairs on deck in the sunshine and watch the tidal wildlife. An ideal retreat for those seeking solitude and an escape from the stress of daily life. Good centre from which to visit Chichester, Portsmouth, and the picturesque villages of Emsworth and Bosham. Highly recommended.

You should be aware that, as in most boats, there is only a very tiny fridge/chiller. It cannot accommodate any bottles of wine, etc. I also found my car essential when going out to eat, as there is nothing on site and the very narrow country lane from the marina is not ideal for pedestrians. The nearest place for a meal is about a mile away. These minor points are more for information than expressing ‘dislike’ as they certainly didn’t detract from the enjoyment of my stay.

Everything provided was high quality

The bugs!

The ark and the facilities were good quality, for example SMEG appliances, the quality of the building and the breakfasts all good quality goods.

This is obviously a prototype (I read the articles on it being built) and it was an amazing job but it was a tiny bit small. We were lucky with the weather so we could sit outside but if it had rained we would have been struggling. If another was built I’d suggest trying to get another metre of space, also try and increase the bathroom size. But overall I thought it was adorable with good quality furnishings

it was surreal & such a lovely experience

Absolutely perfect. Everything we needed for a wonderful stay. Clean, comfortable and air-conditioned which was a real bonus in the hot weather.

Had an amazing time,the facilities were amazing and so was the location

Nothing,everything was perfect

very quirky but incredibly well appointed with everything you could need for escaping the real world for a short time. a great deal of thought has gone into making this an amazing experience!

if only we could have control of the weather!

the room, and the water

the mud, the wind

There was exquisite attention to detail, with high quality fittings, plus absolutely everything we needed. Gluten-free items were provided for the breakfasts and the location was out of this world!
