Amazing value, wonderful location.
Stayed here for one night,booked 2 rooms and both were fine. So many nice touches, water, fresh milk in the fridge not those awful little sachets, and the price included a continental breakfast. Wonderful value in a great location

6/10 at best.
“Boutique” this is not. One night stay, arrived late afternoon to a brusque check-in. The room was freezing on arrival though the convection heater did it’s job over the next few hours, could this have been switched on in advance. The room is dated and a little shabby, stains on the carpet and musty smell. The bathroom floor obviously has a rotten floorboard under Lino. Overall functional, reasonably clean but disappointing. Bed was comfortable

Ok for an overnight stay
Nice enough room, but quite basic. The continental breakfast was nice, good choice of items that were left on a table on the landing, which you ate in your room. Quite noisy at night as people stand outside the pub directly under the window (should have expected really but didn’t think of it)

Very quiet, all good but the pub doesn't do food. Not a big problem as there are plenty of places to eat a short wall from the pub.

The hotel was in a great location in Cowes, we managed to park ok too on a sunday night. The room was nicely decorated and fitted a family of 4 well. Breakfast was nicely done having a selection available to eat in the room.

Really disappointing stay.
The website is misleading, no food is served on site, the breakfast is a bagged effort left outside the room. The bar opening hours are listed as bar closing at 2300hrs but in fact the Union Bar is the only bar that remains open in Cowes beyond 2300hrs so becomes very busy and loud from this time forward and closes at 0200hrs in the morning . All the bedrooms are above the bar area and poorly insulated from the excessive noise. The refurbishment of the rooms was poor bordering dangerous. Tiles not flush, the shower screen was not secured at the top so nearly fell out when touched.
