The staff are very friendly and helpful. The room was very spacious, with a large double bed, wardrobe, desk and chair and a large tv. The bathroom was a bit small but functional. Our room had no view of the water, which was disappointing as this pub is located at the ferry dock. The location is great! Right on the High street of Cowes.

Dog friendly pub with fabulous friendly staff

The rooms are comfortable and had all the facilities you would want. The rooms are a little tired but with such a busy island you’ll only be sleeping and showering in it. Staff extremely helpful and welcoming including to our dog who they treated like royalty. Evening meal very good and breakfast which I paid for in advance was impressive. Great location. A little noisy at pub closing time but should be expected as I booked a hotel above a pub!!! Would recommend for all

Pleasant stay

We have visited the hotel before and enjoyed our stay both times. The hotel is centrally located within the town and the rooms are a good size. The service is always excellent and the rooms were clean. There was a good range of evening meals to choose from. A friendly family run hotel.

Poor hotel only held up by great staff

Great check on, great staff, very friendly and there to help. Room in poor condition, no heating and no hot water . Meant to be in for 2 nights, checked out after 1 . Great food offering, shame about the state of the premises.

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left all the staff we helpful and kind and friendly. The dining room is beautiful and dog friendly (not that we had our dogs but it was so nice to see them snuggled on their beds <3) there is even a food menu for dogs! Our dinners were delicious and cooked fresh to order. The bedroom was elegantly furnished and we had a lovely view of the harbour. The bathroom could use an update but all perfectly functional. We would definitely recommend and would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Fountain Inn, Isle of Wight

Very old building needed some TLC. Cleanliness was poor, door handles felt sticky, carpets looked dirty. Noisy at night from bar next door which is open until 2am. On a positive note management helpful & friendly, breakfast was good.

Traditional pub with rooms. Friendly staff. No parking. Steep stairs no lift. Annoying piped music in dining room. Needs redecorating.
