Bed and Breakfast Prince of Wales

Osborne House: only 5 minutes away! (1,100 feet by foot)

Lock in a great price for Prince of Wales – rated 8.3 by recent guests!

to get started.

great location for Osbourne House. good bedroom; otherwise a pretty scruffy pub.

Franklin, United Kingdom

Very comfortable hotel and spotlessly clean. Full English breakfast was perfect

Derek, United Kingdom

Bedroom and en suite quite small but nicely decorated and clean.Very convenient for bus into Newport with bus stop just opposite. Very pleasant breakfast on second morning with friendly and efficient staff.

Anna, United Kingdom

Rooms were nicely updated and very clean. Staff could not have been better. Bus stop right in front and Osborne House right across the street. Easy walk into East Cowes.

Matthew, United States of America

Considering the age of the building, it was fresh & clean. The bed was comfortable. Expected some noise from the bar & traffic, but it was exceptionally quiet. Parking was a bonus, and location to Osborne House couldn't have been closer. The ladies who served us in the dining room were so friendly, they made us feel very welcome, especially on our arrival. Food was excellent.

John, Australia

It was very well located for going to see Osborne House (across the road). They were happy for me to leave my car in their car park while I went there.

Marie, New Zealand

Great location, lovely rooms with well glazed windows. Great beer. Great breakfast

Andrew, United Kingdom

Staff were very nice, helpful. Room was very comfortable. Great location via-a-vis East Cowes and Osborne House. On a bus route and had parking for the car.

Joseph, United States of America

The pub/hotel was clean and well kept. The staff were very helpful. We stayed in the Arthur room at the top of the property. It was very quiet and felt just like home.

Peter, United Kingdom

Clean white linen and towels. Delicious breakfast, friendly staff. Great location - will definitely stay again and recommend to friends.

In East Cowes on the Isle of Wight, the Prince of Wales is opposite Osborne House, the former home of Queen Victoria. A 3-minute drive from the ferry terminal linking the island to the UK mainland, it has a bar and restaurant, free parking and free Wi-Fi.

The pub serves a range of dishes from cooked breakfasts to light lunches and evening meals. There are vegetarian dishes and a children’s menu.

Among local attractions are the Isle of Wight Bus Museum, and Owl & Monkey Haven, both less than 10 minutes’ drive away. On the other side of the River Medina, you can reach the Cowes Maritime Museum and town center in around 20 minutes.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.2 for a two-person trip.

Shower was very tight, but that is to be expected in older buildings (bath was very nice overall). As others have written, the building is close to a pretty busy street.
Staff were very nice, helpful. Room was very comfortable. Great location via-a-vis East Cowes and Osborne House. On a bus route and had parking for the car.

“Fine for a no frills stay. Don't think I would choose to visit again.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends

Whilst I appreciate this is a pub run accommodation, being taken to the room in question would have set a better impression. The room needed a few spots of maintenance, nothing major where some pain was cracking in the bathroom and lightbulb not working. A bigger tv (possibly a 15") and better located on one side of the bed, and access to Wifi would set a better impression along with a folder about the property.
If you want a venue that is close to Osborne House and Ease Cowes, then this is a very strong contender. The comfort of the bed was pleasant and the furnishings are inviting.

the bar was very small and basic, the service at dinner and breakfast were good but felt that the staff were not trained in the catering trade but they were very friendly which made up for that.
the people were very nice the bedrooms very good location for what i wanted was good

“Never again”

Stayed for two nights. Both nights the television was not working. Went to the bar to find out why and I was told the TV had a fault which should be fixed the next day, and if this was not possible I would be move to a different room. Guess what , tv was not fixed and the offer to change my room was nowhere to be seen. Secondly not sure the last time the room was dusted, remote control was buried in dust. Thirdly, went to use the toilet the first night was confronted with a fresh poop stain in the toilet bowl. For me this is a complete no no. Lastly, the breakfast was nothing to write home about, it looks as if the sausages was soaked in oil or better re-fried. Same goes for the mushrooms, not sure if they where fresh. Avoid this place if you can.
Not too far from the ferry cross was the only plus about this place.
