Wonderful welcome, brilliant staff
Such a warm welcome and so helpful. Absolutely lovely stay. Rooms were clean and well maintained. Bathroom likewise. Staff were brilliant able to accommodate a slightly later dinner on our first night and looked after bags both before check in and after check out.

Convenient but tired hotel with comfortable beds
It gave me everything I needed. A comfortable bed and a quiet, clean room to stay in whilst visiting a poorly friend. The staff were pleasant, kind and helpful and my room was moved when I pointed out the difficulty with the bath tap. One young person behind the bar was somewhat off-hand when we thought we might have a meal but changed our minds because the table in the bar was dirty and two glasses had lipstick still on them. I feel proper training is needed here. The hotel itself was very tired - a hot tap that was furred up on the bath/shower that I couldn't turn on, the chain missing from bath and sink plugs making it very difficult to drain the bath - it would have been impossible for even slightly arthritic hands. I was also disconcerted to find that there was no fire exit route map displayed in the room and if there had been a fire, and the stairwell filled with smoke, I am uncertain how I would have got out. I understand that a refurbishment is happening soon and I presume that most of these matters will be addressed.

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.

Lovely old building right in the heart of Cowes. Rather faded glory and needs some attention to things like grouting and pitted chrome taps, and the window would only open a small way, meaning the room was very hot. There is NO parking with this property, so don’t travel with heavy cases! Parking is 8-10 mins away. Food was good and me in host was lovely.
