Late Christmas treat

Absolutely loved our mini break in this beautiful part of the world. The pod was cozy, spotlessly clean with everything really well thought out. Loved all the little extras esp the bottle of bubbles, thank you. We were also offered early check-in and late checkout with allowed us to enjoy our surroundings for longer.

Luxury in a small space!

Really special 2 night stay in the Samphire Pod - a first for us - and one we really enjoyed. Waking up early to see the sun rise was a real bonus. The pod was really well presented and very comfortable - perfect for a couple. Quality throughout and the marina staff were really friendly. Thanks to all for making it such a memorable stay.

Nothing - it was a perfect break.

Great location, great attention to detail on the Ark. All of the appeal of staying in a marina with none of the inconvenience of staying on a small boat.

Its a really neat idea. But with we had bad luck with the weather, the Ark stunk, and no sea!

The area was nice. The Ark was very well equipped and cleverly designed for such a small space

Unfortunately the Ark was VERY smelly. We didnt stay the first night due to poor weather. On our arrival the 2nd night the Ark stank of poo and the smell was overpowering. We tried to leave the door and windows open but the wind was too strong outside. Also, because the tide was so far out, actually, the Ark is just sat on a sea of green slime. Obviously at other tide times you would be sitting above water, but we never saw that, just miles of green estuary slime

Very clean, excellent location and concept. Need to Improve the sleeping accommodation

Location and concept

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

Unique memorable stay on the waterfront.

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.

A luxe aparthotel on water - fantastic experience!

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.

A wonderful, unique experience

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.

Excellent short stay at an unusual, innovative place to stay.

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 unique ‘escape from it all’ 5* experience in a delightful coastal location

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.

Absolutely loved it!

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
