The views from lounge and bedroom are amazing! I was surprised that the chalet was bigger than I expected from the photos and it is decorated just beautifully. The shower is wonderful, and the deck a super place to sit with coffee or a glass of wine. The bed is very comfortable, I had a fabulous week thankyou and will definitely book again.

Great place to relax

As usual the Ark was a great place to relax and watch the world go by. Be sure to use the Gurnard press cafe in the village it’s a short walk for a great breakfast.

The Ark a quirky, charming one-bed with lots of personality and everything you need for a relaxed self-catering stay. The house looks straight across the Solent, so we spent most mornings with coffee just watching the water. It’s peaceful, spotless, and really well thought out. A great base for coastal walks but also a lovely place just to slow down and stay in.
