We were staying only for one night and had two rooms. We were surprised by just how good the accommodation was given that its really a pub. The staff were so helpful and it wasn't just one. The food in the bar was great and when we wanted to some slight changes they were no problem. Such a joy. We... More

Me and my partner decided to visit the Isle of Wight for a weekend getaway and having read some of the reviews on this site we anticipated a nice stay at a quiet bnb. However, we arrived to be greeted with a rude and somewhat cold welcome by the staff before being shown to our room. The room itself did... More

We stayed at the Fountain in October 2011. The outside of the building is in need of repair and redecoration. The inside reminded me of a student let. Dingy stained walls, worn carpets. The room was tiny but as it was for one night that wasn't a problem but it looked like it had been furnished form a charity shop... More

For what you pay this hotel is great value, especially during the week, off season. Perfectly located in the heart of Cowes just as you step off the 25minute fast passenger ferry from Southampton. Great free Wifi, rooms with baths and good size TVs, clean and reasonably comfortable although a little tight on space. A good, varied food menu sadly... More

We stayed one night here, only because it had unfortunately been pre booked and paid {and our room was changed and up graded .} Our immediate impression was the lack of cleanliness to the walls, carpets and doors along the stairways and thoroughfare areas. Worn and shabby paint work everywhere which frankly, could be corrected at little cost ! The... More

Really convenient if you get to West Cowes via the fast ferry. Walk off the ferry and walk in the hotel. The location is fantastic - right in the middle of West Cowes and within easy walk of shops and chain ferry to East Cowes. Room was adequate - a bit small for a single but OK for an overnight...

if you want to relax from the hustle and bustle this is the place to go, total relaxations More

A group of us wanted a good value option to end a boys cycle trip and we picked the Fountain for it's location and value. Throughout our stay, all the staff were so friendly and accommodating, even letting us store bikes in rooms without the merest hint of a quibble. The breakfast was amazing - fabulous, proper eggs benedict or... More
