We were going to visit friends in the area and needed somewhere that was dog friendly as we were taking out young dog with us. We trawled the internet looking for accommodation with no joy, then stumbled across Emsworth House. Penny was a fantastic host, who only had 2 stipulations if taking a dog... they are not allowed on the... More

A welcoming B&B full of interesting and antique furniture, charm and art. Wonderful gardens to walk around, with a great viiew of the Stour and sailing boats. The house is clean and you are well taken care of. The breakfast is large, fresh and filling. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a welcoming B&B rather than a... More

Good last minute booking, flexible on my late arrival and early departure times, comfy bedroom. The best thing is the location - amazing views in a lovely little tucked away corner.

This was the third time my family had stayed at Emsworth House - and it was just as wonderful. Penny's hospitality is second to none, with a warm arrival and cheerful breakfast. The rooms have simply stunning views across the estuary (another reason to keep coming back). The area is fanastic for walks and jaunts, long and small. Would definitely... More

enjoyed a 3 night break here earlier this month-a large homely house with big warm clean comfy bedroom,delicious vegetarian breakfast ,stunning views of the river stour and a friendly breakfast companion ie. Sheema the dog, I enjoyed some local walks,visited Colchester and Walton. Penny made me very welcome and she might see me again next year.

We stayed at Emsworth House and must say this is the best B&B we have ever stayed in! Penny made us very welcome and couldn't do enough for us. Breakfast was wonderful, the rooms spotless and very comfortable. The view of the estuary was magnificent. I would recommend this.

Our stay at Emsworth House was superb. Penny is an attentive, friendly hostess in a house full of beautiful art and an expansive garden with a view over the river that compliments an already hearty breakfast experience. Rooms are very comfortable and homely with stunning surrounding walks. Only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. Alex and Felicity x

Friendly greeting although I arrived late. I was given an upgrade, which was welcome. Lots of interesting art work around this large, comfortable house. Warm and welcoming twin room - slightly cramped shower but adequate. Excellent breakfast served by Penny Linton, complete with daily newspaper, and a great view over the estuary. I'd certainly use this B and B again,... More

Our delightful hostess Penny made our two-night stay so pleasant, we decided to stay an extra night! She made sure we had a very spacious, comfortable ensuite bedroom, which came with spectacular views (see photo). When we weren't busy touring and photographing the picturesque byways of Dedham Vale and the Stour Valley, we could relax in Penny's delightful sitting room,... More
