Guest Reviews
- Hazel (10/5): Would live here if I could! - What a beautiful place and such a thoughtful hostess, Jean. Every consideration given in the room, even to providing a battery lamp in case of a power cut; equally for breakfast - such a variety including gluten free products available and REAL coffee! Cannot say enough about this lovely lady.
- JOHN (10/5): Lovely B & B - Lovely B & B in quiet grounds. Very clean room with comfortable bed and all the amenities required for a short stay. Jean made us feel very welcome and obviously works very hard to ensure her guests enjoy their stay.
- Janet (10/5): - Property is set back away from the road with trees and garden, very quiet , and relaxing . Jean is a lovely lady making us very welcome, plenty of knowledge of the local area. Room was very comfortable, patio tables outside to be able to sit and chill. We had a lovely breakfast in the granary chatting to Jean a lovely friendly lady. Would recommend .
- Sanchia (8/5): - Liked staff and garden and location. Bathroom a bit too small for changing and shower.
- Lynn (10/5): - Very accommodating.
- Phillip (10/5): - Beautiful small b & b, set in lovely gardens. Very well looked after by the owner Jean. Thoroughly recommend!
- Alan (10/5): - Very quaint and lovely, especially the host who was a treasure. Would definitely stay again.
- John (10/5): - Beautiful quiet location, 5 minute walk into town with plenty of choice of bars and restaurants. Amazing choice for breakfast with the option to take on a treat to your room.
- lynnette (10/5): OTTERS GREEN B&B - It was a brilliant and friendly place place that offered everything you could ask for a more.i can't fault this property in any way and will be staying there again 100% So far the best B&B we have ever stayed in by far..š
- Neville (8/5): Charming B&B in a small village - Comfortable room for single travellers albeit tight on space. Good value compared to others. Good basic breakfast included (not cooked), with ample choice of cereals, fruit, yogurt, juices, coffee, teas, etc. Walking distance from choice of restaurants.
- Peter (10/5): - Lovely Room, very quiet, excellent beakfast plenty choices, walking distance to pubs, restaurants, shop. Lovely host Jean Thank You
- George (10/5): - Nicely converted stables tucked away in a lovely position. Although just off the main road, we could not hear the traffic noise. Lovely grounds, peaceful and tranquil. The rooms are conveniently opposite the granary where breakfast was laid out. Great selection for a continental breakfast - cheeses, meats, fruits, cereals, breakfast bars, a variety of breads too. Jean is absolutely lovely. She kept us amused and nothing was too much trouble.
- Ian (8/5): Away for work - Greeting from host was lovely, room 2 was okay (bed was a bit soft for me), shower lovely, wifi in room was good. Nice to have seating area outside room and under cover. Breakfast room was quirky and loads of choice for breakfast. Places to eat out in evening in town.
- Mike (10/5): Perfect Setting for my Stay - A fantastic setting greeted me along with a wonderful hostess. The room was very tastefully decorated and an extra great touch was having a small table and chairs outside of the room entrance which provided a wonderful dining experience during a warm, Summer evening. The bed allowed a restful night's sleep with ease of parking and a picturesque, surrounding village providing a great route to walk around.
- VALMA (10/5): - Jean has a unique property and she is passionately dedicated to client comfort and goes above and beyond to ensure the guests are extended the very best courtesy and care. The local village of Botley has several dining options, local pubs and a small supermarket. Otters Green is restful, quaint and the perfect setting to chill out.
- John (10/5): Cosy and comfortable - We arrived in Southampton in a particularly freezing cold mid December. We are expats and weāre back doing a lot of travel to visit relatives. So we had travelled far and it was freezing. We were greeted upon arrival by Jean the owner of the delightful property. Jean was very welcoming and friendly as was the room. It was so warm and comfortable. A real home from home. Breakfast was also wonderful. Very close to pretty village, pubs, shops and food. Would love to visit again when the weather is better suited to exploring the lovely gardens.
- Barbara (10/5): Wonderful overnight stop - Bijou comfortable accommodation. Charming host warm and friendly will stay again if in the area.
- Kerry (10/5): Perfect stay! - Great location, lovely host Jean! Lovely comfy room!
- Verified traveler (10/5): What a great blessings - Every small detail was considered and executed. Warm reception. Cozy room. Great breakfast!
- George (10/5): - We had an excellent stay at Otters Green. Wonderful property, excellent host and extremely good value. Jean was amazing. The room was comfortable, cozy and very clean. The little details in the room were a very nice touch. Very pleasant breakfast, 'Continental' but an extensive choice to suit everyone. The garden areas are well kept and available for guests to enjoy. The 3 main rooms all have an outside table and chairs for guests to use. Easy to find using Jean's directions. Private parking. Just a short 5 minute walk took you to a varied choice of pubs and places to eat. Loved it, thank you Jean!
- David (10/5): - A lovelly guest house in beautiful gardens, just away from the traffic but close enough to local shops/pubs etc. Land lady Jean was great fun and would try and do anything for her guests. Thoroughly recommend guest house.
- GREG (10/5): - There is nothing to dislike about Otters Green. We have been travelling from Paignton, Devon to Fareham in Hampshire for over 3 yrs when visiting my wife's parents staying in Hotels, Pubs & B&B's every 6 wks or so. AT LAST we have found this gem, "Otters Green" and our host Jean was the cherry on the cake! Jean was the perfect host making us feel very important. We had everything in our room we needed more than at our previous stays elsewhere. The continental breakfast in the Granary more than set us up for the morning so much to choose from, all fresh, we sat outside of our room under the covered patio with our rescue Lab of eight weeks, Ralphy. Prior to us leaving we asked Jean to show us the self catering Chalet. Straight away we booked this up for our stay end of March 2022. Many thanks Otters Green but more so Jean for her continuous efforts when making us so welcome! Looking forward to our second stay late March. G,J & Ralphy xxx
- Glenn (10/5): Highly recommended B & B - Lovely tucked away area, caring hosr, dog friendly, beautiful surroundings, comprehensive continental breakfasy with great choices, ideal position close to villisge with lots going on. Have booked again
- YVETTE (10/5): Fantastic - Fantastic. I could not believe this place absolutely lovely.Was so impressed going back to stay longer in the Lodge.Very friendly and kind to Luka my little Yorkie.There was so much choice for breakfast spoilt for choice something for everyone.Everything wrapped in plastic bags as per Covid guidelines even the TV Remote Control. Cannot fault anything. Beautiful Gardens with plenty of room for Dog Walking. Lovely Pub The Dolphin in the Village Dog friendly. Fantastic meal. Fully recommend both these establishments. Thankyou for a lovely visit.
- Weizhong (10/5): - Great comfy room.
- Christopher (10/5): Excellent thoroughly Recommend - One night stay with my dog, host was lovely lady very welcoming informative and nothing too much trouble. Nice quiet clean room able to come and go as I pleased. Thoroughly recommend and if need somewhere to stay in this area again this will be my first port of call. Thankyou
- S B aj (10/5): Fabulous - Amazing stay and Jean is just so friendly. Wonderful accommodation and super clean! A*****
- Christopher (8/5): Botley, comfortable stay - Happy with our stay, thank you
- Michael (10/5): Quiet and comfy - I stayed one night in the single room. The room was light, warm and clean. The shower was very good and the kettle had plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits. The bed could, be considered on the 'soft' side, but I found it very comfortable and had a good nights sleep. The B&B is some distance back from the main road and quiet. Great central location for the Botley area. This is a very popular B&B, which is no surprise after staying there and I will be using it again. Book early to avoid disappointment.
- Colin (10/5): Hampshire delight - It was a very comfortable stay,relaxing and well organised. Jean was a very welcoming person and helpful,with a bubbly personality. Good location as a base for surrounding area.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - A great welcome from Jean We were really grateful for the use of a torch and the umbrellas
- Malcolm (8/5): Short break - This was an overnight stopover before sailing to Isle of Wight. Jean is a lovely friendly lady who just wants to help in any way she can. The rooms are small but clean, maybe in need of a bit of a makeover but satisfactory. The breakfast is held in the old granary, toast, croissants, cereals etc so plenty to keep you going. Would definitely stay again.
- Adam (10/5): Little gem - Spent the week in the chalet, Cosy and comfortable Jean was an amazing host went out of her way to make me and my dog feel most welcome, Would highly recommend
- Jo (10/5): - Otters green is set in beautiful surroundings. The rooms are well equipped with all that you would need. The beakfast facilities are fantastic. The host Jean is such a lovely and welcoming lady. I would highly recommend this as a place to stay pre-cruising from Southampton.
- Heather (10/5): Cottage stay. - We stayed at the cottage at Otters Green B&B. It was delightful. It was warm, comfortable, well equipped and charming. The welcome. pack was amazing with everything you could think of included. It was surrounded by a lovely garden with a 150 year old tree. The whole place was lovely. We will definetley stay there again. Thank you for your hospitality.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Jean our host was amazing could not be more helpful nothing was too much trouble, lovely comfortable rooms, amazing continental breakfast highly reccomended
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very pleasant stay in lovely surroundings. Great locations and friendly owner.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Open well kept gardens and secluded position, as photos.
- Judith (10/5): Fantastic stay! - Sadly just a one night stay but Jean made us so welcome and is such an interesting and engaging lady. The room was spotlessly clean and had every home comfort you could ask for. A comprehensive beverage tray, hot water bottle, fan, torches etc. Breakfast was a delicious help yourself spread with an array of choice including fruit, cereals, yogurt, choice of breads and hot drinks or juice. Otters' Green is in a beautiful peaceful spot and Botley has some nice pubs. The star of the show though is Jean who is such a lovely lady and made our dog welcome too. Would love to stay for longer next time, and there will certainly be a next time. Thank you Jean, you're a star!
- Carol (10/5): Otters green - Very pleasent lovley clean room ,the owner was friendly and helpful recomending places to eat.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The location was gorgeous and i cant praise the hostess enough This is truely a hidden gem.
- Aaron (10/5): Beautiful, friendly little gem! - Beautiful gem hidden away. The hostess with the mistress even gave some treats to our dog. Helped ourselves to breakfast which was lovely. We will definitely be back and stay in the self catering cottage. Donāt think Iāve ever had such a friendly host!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - What a beautiful, quiet little English gem. From check in to check out, our hostess, Jean, was there to assist us. She even scheduled our cab to the cruise port and had our luggage loaded when we came back from a walk. So convenient to the little village of Botley, which we also enjoyed. I would recommend Otters Green Bed and Breakfast to anyone who wants to experience a piece of English countryside and hospitality.
- Judith (10/5): A pleasant stay - We loved staying at this slightly quirky place, breakfast is in the granary. We had everything we needed, it was clean and pleasant and we were surrounded by trees and flowers. The proprietor was lovely, kind and helpful. The place is set in a pretty area just right for the town's of Portsmouth and Southampton and for walking.
- Mrs S E (8/5): - Already reviewed

- Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely, atmospheric place - real character and very friendly, helpful host. Loved the stay - fantastic value!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Pretty outdoor area. Plenty of choice for breakfast. Only a short walk to local pubs and food outlets. Set back from the road so quite peaceful. The proprietor couldn't have been more friendly or helpful but was not obtrusive.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Jean the owner was very friendly and welcoming. She provides a lovely continental breakfast including a selection of cereals and there is a supply of coffee tea and hot chocolate in the room.

- Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful gardens surrounding rooms. Very well organised Extremely helpful hostess arranging cabs and making you feel at home Left very early so cant comment on breakfast Great location recommend Dolphin Inn pub. Great food!
- Syed A H (10/5): Change bed mattress - Bed mattress needs changing are they are sinking in and a bit uncomfortable to sleep.
- Kathleen (10/5): - Lovely location. Jean was very welcoming and friendly. Would definitely stay here again.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Jean, the owner of this property was lovely and welcoming, very friendly. We had room 1 which was a twin room with two comfy beds - we slept really well. The shower was hot and powerful albeit a small en-suite. It was nice to have a covered terraced to eat breakfast - I think we may have been the only guests so it was very private and peaceful eating our breakfast in the garden. There were plenty of teabags, coffee and other drink options for our overnight stay. We were staying in the area to attend a family party so simply needed somewhere to sleep and have breakfast. This was an ideal property for that and had the benefit of private parking, WiFi and a lovely dawn chorus. The cost of B&B was reasonable given the facilities. We didnāt visit Botley itself but it looked to be a very nice village and only a short walk from the property to the centre.
- Janet (8/5): Very Welcoming B&B. - Jean was very friendly and welcoming, showed us around. The room we had was a twin very clean, neat and tidy but on the small side, the beds were very comfortable, the quilts could have done with being bigger they didn't cover us properly without the candlewick spreads we would not have been warm enough, radiator on the side wall was not on so not very warm until my husband managed to turn it on, the knob was very stiff. Small bathroom also not warm enough for a shower.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Quirky property, pleasant surroundings, clean and tidy, handy to the local pubs
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Property very clean and tidy. Breakfast varied and all food fresh.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Otters Green B & B was very peaceful and quiet with a comfortable, warm bed. The help yourself breakfast was well stocked with a good selection of cereals, fruit, cheeses etc. There was something to meet all tastes, which was pleasantly set up in a unique breakfast room. The room was adequate and exceptionally clean. In a nutshell we could not fault it!
- Verified traveler (6/5): - My wife and I booked the twin bedroom. Initial impression was that the room was cramped. Apart from the beds there was space for two hard chairs, a small table and bedside cabinets. We found the beds to be reasonably comfortable. There was plenty of bedding and hot water bottles were provided. There was a small basic TV on the wall. The sound quality was passable. We couldnāt get the internet working during our stay. The shower room was fine. Very high water pressure and plenty of toiletries. Breakfast was on a self-service basis served in a small wooden annexe. There was a wide variety of options although we found the offerings of limited appeal. The rate was reasonable. This is a worthwhile stopover for somewhere to sleep and have a shower. However if you want to have a few hours to chill out and relax before going to bed it is less than satisfactory.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Clean with an excellent hostess and scrumptious continental breakfast options
- angela (10/5): Beautiful quaint bed and breakfast. - Beautiful location and very welcoming host, set back from main road. Happily recommend this beautiful b and b. Fantastic choice for breakfast and plenty of coffee. Thanks Jean. Your a lovely hostess.
- Adebayo (6/5): Basic Provision - Haven stayed in many hotel on business trips, I was disappointed with provision of basic requirements.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Owner is absolutely lovely, very friendly made us feel very welcome. Room was clean and had everything we needed, I would say shower is small but again it was clean and had everything we needed. Breakfast was self-service, wide range of cereals, breads, yoghurts, meats and cheeses and fruit available.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very friendly definitely would go back. Did not have time for breakfast. Accomdation warm, clean and cosy. Slept very well.
- Suzette (10/5): Superb stay - Warm welcome from extremely accommodating hostess. Room was warm and comfortable and cleanliness of a high standard. Easy walking distance from Botley rail station Good quality continental breakfast provided in delightfully quaint granary store. Will certainly stay again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very friendly host, delightful breakfast room and food choices. Will
- Catherine (8/5): - Nice, quaint B&B
- Lou (10/5): Highly recommended - A great place to stay. Thank you!
- Paul (10/5): The Redwood - Warm welcome from Jean the owner,very informative of where to eat in the village. Ate at the Bugle Inn a 200m walk up the road. Single room was small but well set out and had excellent nights sleep. Breakfast was continental style,as self service in the old granary and again was well set up. Simple departure just left the key with Jean. It is also a dog friendly residence so handy if I have my Ridgeback with me. Parking a little bit tight with a large 4x4 but that's a minor concern. Well priced. Will certainly use again when I am working in the area.
- Sarah (8/5): A quiet oasis - I stayed in a small but comfortable single ensuite room in an outside block of 3 rooms - the large garden is set back from a fairly busy road, so surprisingly quiet. Breakfast available at a time to suit guests in a separate room opposite; the landlady very kindly provided gluten-free bread and cereal especially for me, and there was cold meat and fruit as well. Very good value B & B compared with other local rates
- Julia (10/5): Trees and flowers - Individual little rooms in a garden setting with unusual breakfast area opposite and the most charming landlady imaginable. What a delightful weekend.
- Linda (8/5): Night Away - Jean was a lovely lady. She gave us several recommendations for dinner. At breakfast she made sure we had everything we needed
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very nice ,friendly person the owner of the house,Highly recommended.,thank you
- bruce (4/5): - Needs to be upgraded. Bed too small. Shower too small.
- bob (8/5): - Quaint setting, very comfortable, good tea tray in room,
- LIZ (10/5): Otters Green - Southampton trip. - Excellent choice of B & B in a lovely quiet spot on the outskirts of Botley. Lovely clean room & outdoor area. Parking close by. Planned to take my dog but due to the heatwave wasn't able but she would have been very happy at this location with garden area & lovely walks nearby and even had 2 Bonios waiting for her arrival. Lovely friendly host would highly recommend & hope to return.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Bed and accommodation very comfortable and clean. Beautiful setting in a nice old village
- Verified traveler (6/5): basic but good enough for the money - I just spend one night, because I had to work in the area the day after. Breakfast was really nice, and the host was really nice and welcoming to. The room was basic, but that was also all that i needed. The walls are very thin, and I heard my neighbor doing his thing on the toilet. Bathroom is really nice and clean. The bed sheet had old stains in it, which was not so nice. But furthermore, it is nice and basic but the breakfast is really nice! Only thing that was really disturbing was the WIFI, it only worked when I sat next to the door. I think I was to far away from the rooter, this was annoying because I was there to work.
- Richard (10/5): Nice stay - Owner was lovely. Slight mishap with the key quickly sorted and nicely woke up to wish us a safe trip with early start. Breakfast room has everything you could want for breakfast ever.
