I have stayed at Rothmans on three separate occasions in recent months. During that time, I have also stayed at many other similar establishments across the South East, as a change from the usual chain hotels. This hardly qualifies me as an expert, but I have to say Rothmans compares well with its peers. Perhaps that is because repeat stays... More

I stayed at the Bed and Breakfast for four weeks in April. I spent most of my time solo in the Edwardian room, but also enjoyed the Four Poster bedroom for a couple of nights with my girlfriend. The house is beautiful with a large garden and plenty of facilities. There are three shared bathrooms, and some of the rooms... More

A delightful quirky period house with a lovely lived-in feel, so different from multi-storey hotels with their identical rooms and unwelcoming atmosphere. The rooms are all different and have their own individual homely charms. Easy on-site parking. Generous breakfasts cooked to suit guests' tastes and the prices are very reasonable. I use Rothmans several times a year and have never... More

A charming property and charming host. Just the kind of place I like to stay. It has bags of character, history, authenticity and a feeling of home. If you gravitate towards the sterile impersonal experience of national chains, you're missing out.

Ewan Thank you very much for posting this review - we do often get some very positive responses (2 at breakfast this morning, even!) but of course people are too busy or not registered with Trip Advisor. What I particularly appreciate is that you picked up on what we try to achieve - I do try to welcome guests*, I... More

Having seen the 3-star tourist rating for this historic house, we were hoping for something a bit special. The bed-linen was super - but that's about as far as any degree of excellence went. Medical debris in the drawers of the room, fluff in the corners, long hairs over the bedside lamp, basic shared bathroom was bad enough. The serving... More

Rogaron Thank you for the Review I'll try to address your points in order. Can I first say that it is very out of date? We have addressed all the issues - we do provide feedback forms for all guests and welcome their suggestions. Of course, I do accept that people will have different priorities and I will return to...

Problems from the booking through to breakfast. Nobody to greet us, The Regency Room was warm but very poorly furnished. A threadbare carpet over a very poorly sanded floor which was so uneven we felt drunk every time we stood up. The wardrobe and chest of drawers were 10inches apart at the bottom, but leaning together at the top! Inside... More

Just returned from a two night stay, what a huge dissappointment. Having looked closely at the B&B website, thought I had chosen carefully. We stayed in the Regency room which was made up of old odd furniture even the bedside cabinets did not match, one was a odd table. However, the biggest problem was calling the bathroom en suite a...

I stayed in the Four-Poster room recently and was very impressed with the standard and quality of the stay. The room was traditionally decorated and furnished, with exposed beams and upright arm chairs that instantly made me feel welcome and cosey. The Proprietor, Peter, was enthusiastic and very warming, and made sure I settled into the room and understood everything... More

This B&B is in dire need of a make over. Every room needs modernising. From the moment you walk in, there is a pungent smell of old carpets and grease. The bedroom we stayed in still had toe nails and hair from (the) previous guests, however many that was. Also the room didnt look like it had been properly cleaned... More
