The hotel is furnished in Victoriana and run with great care and friendliness by Margaret who creates a country house atmosphere in the public rooms. The honesty bar is a lovely touch and the guests chat away to eachother creating a home from home atmosphere.

A little gem

Lovely quirky hotel. Very quiet. Comfortable beds, room nicely decorated and equipped. Very much appreciated the ‘honesty’ bar after an evening out. Staff were very friendly and helpful too.

A delightful place to stay

We 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

Amazing 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!

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.

Excellent Period Property

We really enjoyed our stay at this late 19th / early 20th century property. Decor not modern but very unique which enhanced our experience. Staff were welcoming, helpful, and friendly. Room was clean and well presented. I'm sure Robert Plant, who recently was a guest, enjoyed his stay as much as we did. If we visit the Isle of Wight again we'll be staying here.

Full of character

We struggled to park outside the hotel which made a difficult start as we carried our bags up a very steep set of steps - there are a lot of steps inside and out! Once inside though, it was a quirky, comfortable place. Friendly staff, amazing breakfast and the most fantastic view of the sea from our balcony, with a pleasant walk into Cowes meant we had a lovely stay.

Stayed for one night and loved this hotel. So peaceful and fantastic view from our room. Room was big and spacious. Plenty of towels tea and coffee with biscuits. Margaret the host was amazing and couldn't do enough for you. Her knowledge was boundless and any questions we had she was happy to answer and we learned things about the island we didn't know. She is a absolute whizz at sorting out the TV too which we couldn't work out. Breakfast was great. So much food and everything you could want. The young man who looked after us at breakfast was very attentive and again nothing was to much trouble. Would definitely recommend this hotel and will stay here again in the future. Thank you Margaret for a wonderful stay.

The Villa is beautiful and well located. It is charming and our hosts were helpful and welcoming. Our room had beautiful furniture and a stunning view. There was a lot of noise from the room above us - creaking floorboards, footsteps, conversation which was not deliberately loud. In older character buildings it is likely. The large bed had a very firm mattress which I struggled to sleep on and the pillows need replacing. The bath was lovely and filled quickly. Breakfast was good, particularly the fresh fruit. We were made very welcome and Villa Rothsay is charming.

Delightfull boating themed Hotel.

Delightful 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.

OMG what a gem! I almost don’t want to share an opinion on the Villa Rothsay because I want to keep it for myself. Absolutely perfect in every way. But quirky and mysterious with amazing history. Our room was beautiful with seaview. We slept with the curtains open so as not to miss any waking moment. Margaret was welcoming and so knowledgeable. Breakfast was delicious. Local produce - no UPFs here - Villa Rothsay preserves. Just beautiful. We were fortunate to have been there for the first day of Advent and the Christmas decorations were out of this world. I really didn’t want to leave.
