My wife and I have been staying at the New Holmwood Hotel during Cowes Week for the last 7 years, and can thoroughly recommend it. The first few years we stayed on our own or with other couples, but more recently we've stayed here with our young daughter, and next year will have 2 young daughters with us. The hotel... more

Our second time here and very pleased with the general cleanliness, service, quality of food and price. If you want a sea view, and I recommend you do, go for room 11 or 12, 11 is roomier but 12 has the better bathroom. Other than that rooms 10 and the Uffa Fox suite offer limited views of the solent.

I stay at this hotel on a regular basis whilst on business trips to the Isle of Wight. I like this hotel so much that if my firm cannot book a room for me here I stay in Southampton rather than any of the dire alternatives available on the IOW. The staff are warm and welcoming and nothing is too... more

I stayed here with my husband and two children for a week and loved it!.We found all the staff very friendly and felt the place had a very relaxed and welcoming attitude to children. I agree that the pool could do with some attention but other than that slight quibble we were very satisfied. The food was lovely and the... more

We had our wedding reception at the New Holmwood and it was wonderful The food was lovely and the service helpful but unobtrusive. The hotel was beautifully decorated for Christmas, and the staff laid the tables really nicely with the extra decorations that we provided. We stayed in the Bridal suite, which was lovely and cosy. The ensuite was great... more

This hotel is adorable and you can see they have some very loyal clientele. The staff are very friendly and it has that real haphazard feel of Fawlty Towers about it! The rooms are incredibly small and very dated but it is necessary to weigh up what you expect from a £100 a night hotel. It is on the seafront... more

Hotel located about 50 metres from the 'sea' with a panoramic view over the water. Hotel is about 20 minutes fairly level walk from the West Cowes foot ferry. Room was of a reasonable standard (although the bathroom was a bit cramped) and the evening meal and breakfast were both fine. Staff friendly and helpful. Small outdoor seasonal swimming pool... more

My family and I stayed at the New Holmwood and would absolutely recommend it! The rooms were very nice, clean and well-kept. The staff was very polite, and especially helpful at breakfast with our 2 year old. The hotel itself is in a great location, right on the water and about a mile walk (a very pleasant walk) into the... more

We stayed here with our two year old daughter for a weekend. It's a plain hotel with all the minimum requirements. The room was small (or normal size by European standards), but nice, with a nice view over the beach and an adequate en-suite bathroom. The service was good, as was the breakfast. There is free parking out front and... more
