    Lovely little place, we enjoyed our walks around the area...

    Lovely little place, we enjoyed our walks around the area and relaxing and watching the boats etc. Very easy to get to, loads of eateries and pubs. If you like Yachts and boats then you will be in heaven, but even if you dont theres still plenty to keep you occupied. Its also very easy to move around the island from Cowes whether you drive or use the bus service.

    Easy to get around on foot.

    Easy to get around on foot. Some lovely local produce & traders as well as the usual High St stores all in close proximity. Lots of good local friendly pubs. Osborne House(connection to queen Victoria & Albert) is within walking distance with a 2 minute trip on the floating bridge (£1.50 return ticket)-this is a National Heritage building. Distinctive Royal mail postbox still in use here & if you use it, the postal stamp with reflect the Victoria & Albert connection. You can visit the tearoom & gift shop but need to pay to enter gardens & house.

    I know Cowes well because my mother in law lived there so...

    I know Cowes well because my mother in law lived there so for many years I regularly visited her and stayed in the town. Since she died I have not visited as often and hadn't been to the Isle of Wight for two years until I stayed this autumn. It was a quick visit, but the shops in Cowes and the waterfront areas and town beaches are always interesting. I wouldn't stay quite as late in the year again as many places shut at the end of October or by early November, and if they're not shut completely they can be quiet and shut early (eg some of the out of town shops). Even the Cowes shops were beginning to wind down about 4pm on the Saturday and there weren't many people about. So do go but the warmer months and early autumn are probably better as there's more going on and there are more options. We ate at Mojac's and the Pier Inn, both excellent places for evening meals. The Pier Inn is also a pub but has a separate dining area. It was nice to go in pubs and for them not to be crowded but they do shut bang on 11pm.

    Easy access to Osborne House in East Cowes.

    Easy access to Osborne House in East Cowes. Really worth a visit! The island is very small and so one can drive round it and see lots each day.. Everywhere on the island is less than 35 minutes from Cowes (in October). Lots of good restaurants in Cowes.

    We love the Isle of Wight.

    We love the Isle of Wight. Beautiful island and I feel so safe there. We ate at The Coast which we thoroughly recommend. Tremendous atmosphere. When we didn't use our car we used a local taxi who were brilliant and never let us down.

    We enjoyed our visit although as it was the Isle of Wight...

    We enjoyed our visit although as it was the Isle of Wight Festival during our visit traffic queues and road closures were in abundance. We spent a lovely day at the Big Cat sanctuary which was fairly empty making it a good opportunity to see the cats and talk to the keepers who are all so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Great visit. There are lots of shopping facilities, great views and lovely little hamlets and places to visit around the island. The park we stayed in was peaceful but had easy access to Cowes and to the ferry port. Friendly people and we enjoyed great weather.

    Didn't have breakfast option. But that was fine. Local cafes were excellent. The room was splendid. Clean and the twin beds were in different sections of the room. There was bedding for 4 people ( a single sofa bed was also in the room). And we were two. The bathroom was spacious and the whole room was well decorated and modern. And this was appreciated in a hotel which is 400 years old! The bar downstairs was buzzing -- but we were fine with any noise which filtered up and slept very well in the comfy beds.

    Lovely little B&B place close to the centre of Cowes. Parking outside, lovely room with big windows, spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. Breakfast was delicious! Hot and cold options served overlooking the garden. Paula is a marvellous host, going above and beyond to make our stay comfortable including giving us a lift into town in the rain and sending back a forgotten charger free of charge. One of the very best B&Bs we have ever stayed in, we loved it!!

    Although the room is a little dated, with woodchip on the wall (🎶) it is exceptionally clean. Everything you need is there. There are plenty of hand sanitizers dotted about the property. I had actually walked around the island and stayed at various B&B's and campsites. Of all the places I stayed at, Watch House Barn was the best night's sleep I had. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. For the price as well, I would happily stay there again.

    Yhe most welcoming hotel we ever stayed at! They even welcomed our little dog with a goodie-bag with his name on it and we were allocated a dog friendly place at the breakfast lounge. Staff was always smiling and very helpful. As we had to leave early on our last day in the morning they gave us a lovely to-go breakfast which we really appreciated on the 4a.m ferry!!

    Owner was really welcoming, warm and friendly. She absolutely made our stay, and her breakfast was one of the best we've had. Room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. Access to Cowes super easy, a walk downhill and bus back up if you didn't feel like the hill. Owner was generous sharing her tips for local places to eat. Thank you.

    We had everything we needed for our weekend trip to Cowes. The room itself was lovely, and had all the facilities we needed for our stay. Barbara was a wonderful host, and the breakfast was delicious each morning. The location was perfect, and a short walk to the town center by foot.

    What a lovely little hotel this is, The decor is amazing with everything done to the highest standard. The staff were brilliant from the moment we arrived to when we left. If I go back to the Isle of Wight again I'll definitely look to see if there's a room available first.

    Good sized apartment. Very central, 2 min from the red-jet ferry from Southampton!!. I needed a space where I could stay without any fuss or problems to relax on a business trip and this place worked perfectly. It was very clean, very good standard throughout.

    The room was clean, spacious and very nice comfy bed. Good amenities, lots of extra towels/ hangers and cabinets. Nice location very close to town. Cowes is a good choice to stay lots of restaurant open until late night and pretty place too.

    This is the most dog friendly place we have ever stayed - from the freshly served sausage at breakfast, or the dog treats in the room! But even if you don't have dogs this is a very friendly and comfortable hotel with an excellent location.

    The Villa Rothsay is in a wonderful old house with a strongly nautical theme - a very pleasing decor. Margaret is an outstanding hostess and nothing seemed too much trouble for her or her team. The breakfast is an absolute treat
