Hotels in Emsworth

On the shore of Chichester Harbour, in the eastern corner of Hampshire, lies the peaceful town of Emsworth.

Sea breezes

Emsworth has long been popular with sailors and artists. The pretty Georgian houses, bobbing boats and yachts, expanse of sea and skyline conspire to provide an arresting, often dramatic, SEOSITE_LEVEL_DESCRIPTIONau.

Things to do, places to see

Walking along the harbour and coast at large provides a wonderful opportunity to while away the hours, but the harbour is not Emsworth's only draw. The town's three millponds offer the chance to spot a huge assortment of birds from black swans and Canada geese to the great crested grebe and tufted duck.

Brook Meadow is a local nature reserve that consists of five acres of grassland surrounded by woods, and with streams on either side. This area is replete with voles, birds and insects, as well as wild flowers.

Staunton Country Park, about three miles out of Emsworth, is a marvellous place for people of all ages to relax or play. Whether strolling around the ancient woodland, ornamental lake and follies, or losing yourself in the maze, you'll find plenty to enjoy.

Restaurants and cafés

Another of Emsworth's major pulls is its choice of eateries. You'll find several restaurants, cafés and pubs providing a warm welcome and good food and drink. Overlooking the bay area is 36 On the Quay, a Michelin-starred restaurant where locally caught and prepared seafood is a speciality.

The Sussex Brewery is a pub celebrated for its friendly staff, great food and fine selection of beers.

For a refreshing tea or coffee there's the Driftwood Café, which also serves breakfast and lunch. When the weather is fine you'll enjoy the sheltered courtyard garden.
