You will not regret booking this if you have a large family event like we did . Also to be able to take our dogs was brilliant. We loved going over on the ferry . Everything was really accessible-the shops pub beach take away but far enough away to feel like you could make a bit of noise and not upset anyone. The kareoke was fun ! The owner Shaun is really lovely and responds very quickly and Joanna is fantastic. So helpful. We loved crabbing off the marina . A real gem of a place ...

We have just returned from a wonderful week on the Ark and were all sorry to be leaving. This is a fantastic and very unusual property, extremely comfortable and very well equipped with everything you might need for your stay. The location is great, friendly but nice and quiet with plenty of free parking in the marina carpark. We were a 3 generation party of 8 and the Ark suited us all regardless of age. Shaun (the owner) met us on arrival to greet and show us around, a lovely personal touch, making us all feel very welcome. We will most definitely be returning to the Ark in the future and would 100% recommend it to anyone looking for a holiday in the Torpoint/Plymouth area. ...

Wow! What a fabulous stay we all had on the Ark! There were 12 of us on board from the ages of seven to seventies & impossible to say who of us enjoyed it the most. Little pirates/sailors exploring & having fun or adults enjoying sundowners on the deck whilst viewing glorious sunsets each day being just a sample of the whole experience. Thank you Shaun & team! ...
