    The location is superb overlooking the Solent, it was lovely having breakfast in front of the open patio doors overlooking the water. We have been to Villa Rothsay before for dinner, but not stayed. While the villa is amazing decorated to reflect a bygone era and it's so interesting looking at all the pictures and artefacts, our room was more modern, very comfortable and clean. We'd definitely stay again.

    This is a beautifully appointed guest house ,spotlessly clean and with very welcoming and obliging hosts. The breakfast was superb with an excellent variety on offer and expertly cooked and presented. I struggle to find any negatives although the en-suite was a bit tight for room but it was fully fitted and there were luxurious towels and toiletries. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

    Our room was a good size, nicely decorated and very clean. There was a kettle and tea and coffee provided also bottles of water that were a welcome touch. We enjoyed a lovely dinner one night in the bar and the huge tasty cooked breakfasts and everything was served quickly. Staff were very friendly and efficient.

    The location is good - only a 15 minute walk to the town and quay side. All along the esplanade. The staff are excellent - helpful and friendly The food is good - freshly cooked. Breakfast very good. Dinner is fine but lacks refinement. Tables do not have tablecloths (as shown in the hotel photos), but the food is freshly cooked. Parking is on site - tends to fill up by 6pm.

    The breakfast! Barbara was very attentive. The first time we met she showed us the room, the breakfast menu options, places to dinner and we had everything we needed for our whole stay. But definitely having a fresh home made breakfast served perfectly on time in the morning brightened our day.
