Absolutely fantastic place to stay, so different and would highly recommend.
Weather was lovely and sat with Prosecco on the decking,which was on ice for us when we arrived.
1 night was too short - will be back again.

This is an amazing boutique hotel which has only recently been opened so everything was brand new. It has a youthful vibe and the word ‘quirky’ comes to mind. We stayed two nights in the Jungle Room which has striking décor with a jungle theme, hence the name. The hotel is under the same management as JJ’s, the bar/restaurant next door. On the other side is a pub so we asked for a quiet room and we were pleasantly surprised to have no problems with noise whatsoever. This hotel does not serve breakfast and although we were told we could get something to eat at JJ's we actually went to Flintstones. After booking the hotel we were emailed by Holly with all pertinent information and the room payment was made through a Bank transfer, which went smoothly. Holly even phoned us before our arrival to check that our plans remained fixed. We left before 8.00 a.m. so were able to leave our key with a member of staff at JJ’s.

There was a good choice of places to eat for an Evening meal. I chose JJ`s & was very happy with my choice. It seems very popular & had a `buzz` about it. I walked from my B&B for about 15mins to the centre of Emsworth.
Friends met me on day 2 & they chose Driftwood Cafe to have a catch-up & a coffee in. That to was very popular & we were well taken care of. I admired a number of paintings on the walls by a local artist.
Also a little shop `Karen George` caught my eye as there was a lovely jumpsuit in the side window & a nice Summer dress in the front window. However, I tried on a trendy green Robell jacket that complimented a jumpsuit I was wearing & that would go with a number of other outfits.
All in all a lovely stay in the area.

Nice village , strolled around the harbour and village which was pleasant . Lots of options for eating and all seemed to be busy . I would stay in the same B and B and visit the village again and also use it for a base to visit further afield.

We enjoyed the splendour of a country house with excellent personal service for the owners who made us extremely welcome. It made a very pleasant change from the impersonal service of a hotel.
Food was local where possible and we were served with a lovely breakfast and possibly the best scrambled eggs we have eaten in a very long time!
Portsmouth isn't far away so plenty to see and do in the area.
Would love to return.

A picturesque small town, epitomised by its pretty harbour area that provides excellent walks. The town itself is historic and quaint, and contains some individual shops that are good to use. There are several places to eat lunchtimes and evenings, including a number of pubs and a highly regarded Italian restaurant. Two of the pubs, close to the waterside, can get quite crowded at popular times, but they serve good food and do a good job. Like everywhere else, ‘cost of living’ price increases are noticeable, but Emsworth (being in an affluent area) is the sort of place that can sustain this.

The b&b was good for short & longer stay, it did what it says on the tin it's a b&b, no more no less, excellent stay and excellent staff, easy and reasonable price train link to Portsmouth.
The accommodation is small but beautiful and cleverly designed. An extremely comfortable bed. The Ark is spotlessly clean and in a safe location with views of the river. Lovely welcome gifts and a good breakfast. Minor issue with the heating but very quickly resolved by our host. Warm and plenty of hot water for the shower. The Ark is close to Emsworth town centre so near pubs, restaurants and shops. We chose to walk to town so a little dark on the return journey so take a torch with you.
Peaceful location, spotless rooms looking over paddocks with Alpacas, goats , chickens, horses & ducks.
Fantastic breakfast sourced locally. Cooked to perfection. Best Full English we have had much better than many 4 * hotels we have stayed in.
Excellent host.
Visited Fishbourne Roman Palace. Weald & Downland living museum ( The Repair shop) Emsworth and Bosham for walks.
Booked due to such good reviews and we were not disappointed would highly recommend The Old Dairy..
Super clean and comfy accommodation - well equipped, with a private entrance. Even though the weather was very hot, it was nice and cool inside. The courtyard is a lovely suntrap too, great for relaxing. Very comfy bed and pillows. Lovely bathroom with large walk in shower. The location is very good, short distances from Emsworth, Bosham and Chichester. Nice to have milk, wine and biscuits provided on arrival too! Thank you, we will definitely be back!
The host greeted us warmly as we arrived to the private parking area. The room is large, comfortable, warm, and thoughtfully decorated. It was generously stocked with breakfast items, coffee & tea, and snacks. An ideal location to walk around central Emsworth pubs, restaurants, and coastline, and drive/train/bus to historic Chichester, Portsmouth naval docks, Brighton, and hikes in the South Downs.
The owners Rosie and Simon were thoughtful, helpful and friendly. A welcome of tea, biscuits, milk, wine and fresh flowers was much appreciated after a long drive. The cottage is very comfortable, with everything that we needed provided. Located near the centre of Emsworth meant that everything was in walking distance, including the harbour and sea front.
Room was much better than expected with an extremely comfortable double bed. Room still on the small side but not unusual for a B&B in the UK. Very good breakfast with lots of choices each day. Hot, powerful shower and secure Wifi which was important. Location an easy walk into main Emsworth town and the train station.
great location, a couple of mins from the centre of Emsworth and the river and estuary. very convenient having a dedicated parking space. beds were very comfortable indeed. great little courtyard at back to enjoy a few glasses of wine and fizz before going out.
Location good, Emsworth village 5 minutes away Beautiful house, very welcoming, good size room and great view of the garden and could see Chichester harbour. Bed very comfort had great night sleep.
I liked the pleasant atmosphere of the place. The receptionist was very helpful and her instructions to me about room and door keys, meal timings and the geography of the hotel, were very clear.N

Beautiful room, very comfortable bed with lovely linen & towels. Very thoughtful and friendly host. Superb breakfast. Located very conveniently just 10 minutes from the centre of Emsworth.
Absolutely stunning property, beautifully renovated and furnished. Great care, attention to detail and quality. If this were a chain of hotels I’d travel the world in rooms like these.
Fantastic and beautiful room very comfortable and extremely friendly people.As good as and if not better than lots of 5 star hotel’s. Would definitely stay there again
Very private secluded and safe location yet within walking distance of Emsworth, our host was incredibly helpful and breakfast excellent. Room immaculate
