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.

Unclean and looking very sorry for itself....
The room was dirty when I checked in - the bathroom, in particular was filthy, there was mould in the shower, the fittings and shower screen have clearly not been cleaned for a long time and had considerable build up of water marks and calcium. Other shower fittings were disgusting and the light fitting directly above the shower was hanging loose. The carpet had not been hoovered in the room and the kettle was not clean. I reported this to reception, Emily who was working was the only saving grace in this issue and she upgraded me to a larger room which was cleaner but still not particularly clean. The whole hotel is looking very run down and sorry for itself and needs updating.

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!
