As a family of 16 who have previously spent many happy times in Rothesay we had a fabulous time staying at the Island Seaview Villa. The house was very comfortable and homely with plenty of room to find your own quiet space if you wanted it. The leisure area was very spacious and the facilities were absolutely amazing. As a group aged between 9 years and 91 years there was something for everyone and a super fun time was had by all. If we had any questions the owner responded to my messages very quickly. We all enjoyed the beautiful views and some of the group took the 30 minute walk into Rothesay and we would all be happy to stay again in the future.

The Villa is amazing. We were a family group of 8 adults and 5 children under 8. There were spaces in the house for all of us. The games room and indoor pool were such fun. The piano was enjoyed by everyone too. The photos on the website do not do justice to the features this Villa provides. The only negative was that the kitchen needs a deep clean and a good clean out.
