I have stayed here a couple of times, always in a large group and always just to get your head down after a nice sail across the solent, a curry and a few beers. This is not a glamorous hotel, more a pub that does rooms. However the rooms are clean, the cooked breakfast is fantastic, the staff are polite... More

We stayed here for 2 days and the stay was wonderful. The Rooms were very clean. Friendly and helpful staff. We had our window facing the Ferry Terminal and the sea. It was very calm. They served very good and huge portion of typical english breakfast every day at the Bar/ Restaurant downstairs. ( English breakfast with sausage, bacon, grilled... More

We've stayed at Greene King hotels before and were expecting better than this. Our first impression of dirt and dinge never went away. Not only no car park but no drop off point either - we had hassle from taxi drivers who said we were lucky not to be clamped. Our room had a fabulous view once we had dragged... More

The Fountain has a good location close to the foot fery from Southampton to Cowes, so close tht the buses seemed to almost pass under our room! The staff were friendly if a little too laid back, coffe cups having to be waved at breakfast. This appears to do a roaring trade as a pub with locals and is not... More

I stayed here whilst on business in Cowes and found it to be perfectly comfortable. The hotel decor could do with a bit of a lift but the room was comfotable with lovely views. The menu was varied and food was really good. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back again. Highly recommended. More

Fantastic location - overlooking Solent and centre of town.Excellent value for money - admittedly I did secure a very good price. More

Stopped for a meal on spec a sit was windy.. and glad we did.. The menu was good and the standard of the food was excellent. The staff were friendly and took an interest, which is the sign of a good team. We will stop again and tell our friends. More

We stayed here for 2 nights in mid-February and were not disappointed. The hotel is a bit 'tired' and could do with a re-furb (although it is an 'Old English Inn' after all) but other than that we were very happy with our accomodation and, particularly, the service. Our room was small but warm, clean and comfortable. The beds were... More

The location was perfect for our visit to see family on the IOW over the christmas hoilday period. The pub was very convenient for our needs with breakfast included and a great selection at chef quality. The rooms were in good condition and bathrooms very clean and a good size for an old building. The only thing is if you... More
