Villa Rothsay Hotel

We had our large dog (labradoodle) with us so we sat outside for our breakfast which was no problem….took a few trips to find all things we needed for our table…After that we really enjoyed the fantastic selection of fresh fruit and yogurt…followed by an amazing tasty full cooked breakfast Served by very friendly Young man that was always chatty and genuine. The room was fantastic and we enjoyed the views of the ships and ferries leaving Southampton. Great coffee maker plenty of tea bags and fresh milk available. This is a beautiful family home with an amazing history…it’s a step back in time amazing. Also a dog walking wood descending to the beach was right beside the property. Brilliant

We were very well taken care of at Villa Rothsay! Excellent host that helped us plot our days and gave great recommendations for things to do and places to eat. The breakfast was both delicious and filling, and we enjoyed dining in the conservatory with the beautiful views over the Solent. The hotel is full of history and character and it's worth taking a moment to enjoy the drawing room and honesty bar to savor an extra slice of old world charm.

Lovely hostess (we endorse all previous reviewers' comments to that effect). Nothing is too much trouble, whether exotic teabags or bottomless knowledge of the island, warmly and freely given. The house is a bit of a labyrinth, but with opulent and spacious reception rooms and bedrooms. Wonderful breakfasts and perfect mix of self-service with table service, the latter attentive but unassuming and not ingratiating. The experience probably isn't for those who expect ultra-modern minimalist surroundings, but everything works perfectly and is lovingly maintained. Buy into the experience and you'll love it. One of a kind!

Loved the North facing balcony as we were there in heatwave. Great view of the sea, and you could see sunrise and sunset from the same spot. Short walk down the zigzag path to get to the beach or along the road to Northwood House. Zac was very accommodating setting a breakfast table in the lounge so we could bring the poodle. Much appreciated, thanks.

Tastefully decorated with antiques but modern facilities. Proprietress was extremely friendly and went to the trouble of ringing a local eatery to check they were open. Highlight for us was the view from our balcony of ships leaving and entering Southampton!. Excellent breakfast. A lovely place to stay.
