A great location looking out over the Solent. Easy to drive to town or walk. Margaret a delight. Excellent breakfast. Bathroom old but satisfactory. Lots of yachting pictures & books, lots of old-world charm. Lots of stairs both outside & in.

A delightful place to stay
Posted 24 Jun 2024 on HotelsWe only stayed for one night, just needing a place to rest our heads after the festival but we were so pleasantly surprised by the high quality of everything. Check-in was efficient, the staff were friendly and professional, the room was spacious and spotlessly clean (and the sea view was stunning!), and breakfast was plentiful and delicious. We couldn't recommend Villa Rothsay more highly.

Great Hotel in Cowes
Posted 23 May 2024 on HotelsAmazing 4 night stay. Best hotel breakfasts ever, with superb quality ingredients beautifully cooked and served with a friendly smile.
Balcony room with great sea view across the Solent.
Easy walking distance to Gurnard and Cowes (be ready for up hill on the return!).
The host and all her staff were exemplary throughout, with lots of top advice on the island and nothing too much trouble.
Would return at the drop of a hat!

Delightfull boating themed Hotel.
Posted 8 May 2024 on HotelsDelightful small hotel, with lots of local and international boating memorabilia, you could spend a very enjoyable afternoon just looking at the photographs and models all telling a story of Cowes remarkable maritime history.
The views from the front of the hotel overlooking the turning point for all the shipping leaving or entering Southampton Water are some of the best on the island, a never ending stream of famous Liners, Cruise Ships, Tankers, Container Ships, Car Transports the list is endless, truly an epicentre for sea trade.
The wonderfully comfortable public lounge with it's well stocked bar overlooks this vista, no better way to end an evening.
The freshly còoked to order breakfasts are memorable with fantastic local ingredients and a wonderful choice for all tastes.
We have always had a warm welcome from the host whenever we stay, and we thoroughly recommend this wonderfully British small hotel.

A real gem! Full of character and very comfortable
Posted 21 Apr 2024 on HotelsI would normally stay in a five-star contemporary hotel, with all the usual facilities. I was very surprised that there are none in Cowes, given it's a centre for international yachting. So, based on the reviews on Hotels.com and the photos, I chose this hotel. It was a great choice. The location, with harbour view from the very atmospheric and authentic 'olde world' lounge (there is an 'honesty' bar with a great stock of spirits and cold drinks and beer, so open all the time), the owner Maggie, Jackie and all the staff were so friendly and accommodating, the room and bathroom were spotless and had mod cons like large screen TV and coffee maker, but also plenty of authentic charm. Even had bath, with piping hot water all the time. High quality linen and comfortable bed. Also very quiet at night-time, as far enough out of the town, but close enough for a brisk walk in, along the promenade. Finally, the food was real 'home-cooking' and delicious, very fresh and tasty. Highly recommend. The photos do not do it justice - it's even better, and more atmospheric!
