The Harbour Deckhouse

We stayed for 2 nights in this lovely, quirky accommodation. JP was on hand to explain all on our arrival and set us up for the lovely stay that followed. Emsworth is a lovely village and easily walkable from the property. We enjoyed both daytime and evening meals locally and thoroughly enjoyed everything. The accommodation is bright and airy and very well equipped. Things were spotlessly clean and super comfortable. Bedding, toiletries and the welcome bottle of bubbly were all of an exceptional standard. We would definitely recommend to anyone staying in the area and look forward to staying again in the future. 😀👍

Lovely relaxing break

Just book it!….you won’t be disappointed 
JP met us and showed us around a lovely personal touch
Having two terraces to enjoy the wonderful view, lounge out or enjoy a meal together 
Everything is first class, comfy beds and luxury bedding.
So much to see and do in the area, the recommendations were really helpful, we ate out for breakfast and dinner each day 
We look forward to exploring more on our next visit

Luxury and a view to die for

Thank you for accommodating us in such style. We loved the location and the deck house. It is so quiet but with a nice level of activity with people pottering about on the boats and along the path in front of the houses.

Great to have lovely linens and really good appliances - makes for a home from home...!

We will hopefully be back before too long - so many interesting places to visit & things to do close by - it is such an excellent base for a holiday.

Just right...

Such a relaxing & beautifully appointed property in a stunning location. The weather was perfect & we spent much time sitting on the balcony relaxing. Would highly recommend & look forward to returning.

Absolutely fabulous

Difficult to know where to start, there were SO many good things! JP greeted us, that was really lovely. He showed us around, pointed out the thoughtful bottle of Chapel Down in the fridge, and gave us some excellent local info too.
The Deckhouse is absolutely stunning, so light and airy, beautifully furnished and decorated with obvious attention to detail everywhere, it is sublime! 100% pure linen bedding, soft and fluffy towels, a cloud-like down duvet, Noble Isle toiletries, Nespresso machine and pods, even a magnifying mirror (so often overlooked) and an eye mask!  We were fortunate to have wonderful weather, so we saw the amazing sunsets from the west-facing deck and balcony.  
The marina is so peaceful, and it’s an easy stroll into the village itself. All in all a truly magical place
