Needing a late check-in (ie after 9.30pm), the hosts were more than understanding and very welcoming once we arrived. Very straight forward in showing us to our room. Breakfast was marvellous, and hosts warm and friendly

    Lovely little place, we enjoyed our walks around the area...

    Lovely little place, we enjoyed our walks around the area and relaxing and watching the boats etc. Very easy to get to, loads of eateries and pubs. If you like Yachts and boats then you will be in heaven, but even if you dont theres still plenty to keep you occupied. Its also very easy to move around the island from Cowes whether you drive or use the bus service.

    Easy to get around on foot.

    Easy to get around on foot. Some lovely local produce & traders as well as the usual High St stores all in close proximity. Lots of good local friendly pubs. Osborne House(connection to queen Victoria & Albert) is within walking distance with a 2 minute trip on the floating bridge (£1.50 return ticket)-this is a National Heritage building. Distinctive Royal mail postbox still in use here & if you use it, the postal stamp with reflect the Victoria & Albert connection. You can visit the tearoom & gift shop but need to pay to enter gardens & house.

    I know Cowes well because my mother in law lived there so...

    I know Cowes well because my mother in law lived there so for many years I regularly visited her and stayed in the town. Since she died I have not visited as often and hadn't been to the Isle of Wight for two years until I stayed this autumn. It was a quick visit, but the shops in Cowes and the waterfront areas and town beaches are always interesting. I wouldn't stay quite as late in the year again as many places shut at the end of October or by early November, and if they're not shut completely they can be quiet and shut early (eg some of the out of town shops). Even the Cowes shops were beginning to wind down about 4pm on the Saturday and there weren't many people about. So do go but the warmer months and early autumn are probably better as there's more going on and there are more options. We ate at Mojac's and the Pier Inn, both excellent places for evening meals. The Pier Inn is also a pub but has a separate dining area. It was nice to go in pubs and for them not to be crowded but they do shut bang on 11pm.

    Easy access to Osborne House in East Cowes.

    Easy access to Osborne House in East Cowes. Really worth a visit! The island is very small and so one can drive round it and see lots each day.. Everywhere on the island is less than 35 minutes from Cowes (in October). Lots of good restaurants in Cowes.

    We love the Isle of Wight.

    We love the Isle of Wight. Beautiful island and I feel so safe there. We ate at The Coast which we thoroughly recommend. Tremendous atmosphere. When we didn't use our car we used a local taxi who were brilliant and never let us down.

    We enjoyed our visit although as it was the Isle of Wight...

    We enjoyed our visit although as it was the Isle of Wight Festival during our visit traffic queues and road closures were in abundance. We spent a lovely day at the Big Cat sanctuary which was fairly empty making it a good opportunity to see the cats and talk to the keepers who are all so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Great visit. There are lots of shopping facilities, great views and lovely little hamlets and places to visit around the island. The park we stayed in was peaceful but had easy access to Cowes and to the ferry port. Friendly people and we enjoyed great weather.

    Really enjoyed our stay at Halcyone. The host, Lee , was very helpful and accommodated to our diet needs. The room looked out at the Cowes harbour and marina. We were able to walk to the town centre in the evenings which was only a 10mins walk (walked slowly as we have a 6yrs old). The cooked breakfast was also very good with hefty portions and we also had choice of a number of cereals and toast. We will be staying there when we're next at the Isle Of Wight.

    Excellent location, missing my morning walks down to the beach ( about 5 minutes). Very clean with all facilities for cooking a family meal. Great sun trap of a garden . Cowes is about 20 minutes walk along the Solent watching the cruise ships go by. Parking is private and not on road, wi Fi was good ( have a teenager so was important!) The Isle of Wight is totally worth the ferry trip over, so much to do over a week!

    This hotel is a real gem. The staff were absolutely wonderful and the rooms clean and well appointed. Breakfast was fresh and beautifully cooked. To top the lot, a short, flat walk into town. Alan, our cavalier King Charles spaniel, had his best holiday there ever. Thank you to everyone X Would highly recommend.

    The bed was the best part of the room - large, quite comfy, crisp and clean sheets. The restaurant and bar downstairs were good on days when everything in town was closed (Sunday night and the Queens funeral on Monday). The staff were all nice. Bathroom had a small tub, a nice bonus.

    We had everything we needed for our weekend trip to Cowes. The room itself was lovely, and had all the facilities we needed for our stay. Barbara was a wonderful host, and the breakfast was delicious each morning. The location was perfect, and a short walk to the town center by foot.

    The hotel is well situated overlooking the Solent and its spectacular sunsets. The garden terrace area overlooking the Solent has been expanded since I was last there and is now almost tripled in size. The food menu has also been expanded and is good value for money.

    Good sized apartment. Very central, 2 min from the red-jet ferry from Southampton!!. I needed a space where I could stay without any fuss or problems to relax on a business trip and this place worked perfectly. It was very clean, very good standard throughout.

    We have stayed before and once again the staff were exceptional as was our suite. Breakfast overlooking the Solent was perfect and the hotel is extremely pet friendly. Many of the other guests obviously agree as they have also stayed before.

    The Villa Rothsay is in a wonderful old house with a strongly nautical theme - a very pleasing decor. Margaret is an outstanding hostess and nothing seemed too much trouble for her or her team. The breakfast is an absolute treat

    In a country location close to Cowes and near many Isle of Wight attractions. You will need a car but the parking is provided. Directions on SatNav are incorrect but owners will provide correct directions.

    It was close to town and the seafront. It felt like a ‘safe place’ as I was familiar with The Union. I have eaten and drank many many times as I live in Cowes.
