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.

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 👌🏻

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.

    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

    Had a lovely stay at Onefifty. Paula was an amazing host - very friendly and welcoming. She accommoted our request for a twin room even though there was only a double available when we booked. Room was really clean and had a lovely view over the Solent. Short walk into town for dinner. Breakfast was excellent with a range of options for every taste. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.

    Great location for a stroll to Cowes main street and Esplanade, direct access to park with no need to go through guest house. Fab hosts and amazing breakfast. Room was big enough with all you could need, even Netflix set up ready to use as a guest. Even got to meet badgers in the garden in the night!

    Lovely pub accommodation ran by Steve the manager who is very welcoming and helpful. I took my bike and he kindly put it in a secure spot. Location is right in the heart of this superb town with plenty to see. Didn’t get a chance to eat in the inn but it all looked wonderful. Very enjoyable.
