The Fountain Inn overlooks the River Medina and has harbour views from its al fresco dining area. It offers free Wi-Fi, a good breakfast and live music on most Friday and Saturday nights.

Located in West Cowes, only a step off the ferry terminal, the Fountain is also just one mile to Cowes’ seafront. The third President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, stayed at the inn with his entourage after a state visit in 1789.

For us the location by the fast cat was ideal. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was very good value .The bed very comfortable ,the room clean and warm ,perfect 👌🏻

The Union Inn is the oldest pub in Cowes, offering individually styled boutique rooms just a 5-minute walk from the bustling marina. It has a bar and a restaurant serving traditional home-cooked food.

Cowes ferry terminal is only 200 metres away, whilst many of the historic yacht clubs are also within a few minutes’ walk. Charming shops, pubs and restaurants surround the Inn.

It was close to town and the seafront. It felt like a ‘safe place’ as I was familiar with The Union. I have eaten and drank many many times as I live in Cowes.

Featuring free WiFi and a restaurant, Waverley Inn is a Victorian era pub build around 1886 which offers pet-friendly accommodation 10-15 minutes' walk from Newport. Free private parking is available on site.

This property had lots of character & the food in the pub was delicious! We especially enjoyed the Sunday Roast & the breakfast was an excellent start to our morning. The owners & staff were all so friendly, welcoming, & helpful. Our double room was very spacious and comfortable with an oversized bathroom. Do understand this is a pub with rooms, not a modern hotel. That’s really the charm of it & my husband & I are so glad we chose to stay here! An added benefit of staying here is a really central location on the Isle of Wight so you can get around quite quickly. Carisbrooke Castle and Newport are even within walking distance.

    The breakfast! Barbara was very attentive. The first time we met she showed us the room, the breakfast menu options, places to dinner and we had everything we needed for our whole stay. But definitely having a fresh home made breakfast served perfectly on time in the morning brightened our day.

    Professional, friendly and very accommodating staff. Rooms are spotlessly clean and everything you would expect for a "room at the inn" (as in boutique local accommodation). Breakfast is good, facilities/rooms are warm, clean and spacious. All in all really good value for money. Fantastic location at heart of West Cowes

    Food exceptional. Breakfast as good as any 4 star hotel and there was a 20% discount on main meals, although not all dining room staff were aware of this when they gave us the bill! Menu for the eve meal was very good. Location of Fountain Inn could not be better when you arrive tired after a long journey by Red Jet ferry as it is located at the landing stage. Beds very comfortable.
