Having lived on the Isle of Wight for many years I now have the pleasure of visiting as a tourist and doing all of the touristy things that I did not do when living there! The Fountain was a regular watering hole. I stayed at this hotel on Friday 10th May 2013 for one night. I booked the room on... More

Stayed 3 nights in room 14 excellent view of the yacht haven. Excellent location in the heart of cowes ,close to the fast jet terminal and bus terminus. The choice for breakfast was excellent (full English breakfast the best proper bacon and sausage) The staff very pleasant and helpful. Will definitely stay here again. Thanks john and Eileen.

I have stayed here 6 or 7 times. Admittedly it was getting a little tired when we stayed last year. However, they have just had a major revamp and the hotel is now a fantastic place to stay. Close to the marina, the shops and amenities. Due to a computer malfunction there was a small glitch with our booking. However,... More

The harbour is gorgeous. Located right beside Red Jet ferry the location is great. Zoe, Lawrence and Ashmar worked so hard as they are understaffed in my opinion.

I have stayed at The Fountain over the last year and to be honest was unsure if I would go back after Januarys visit was well below the required standard. But what a difference a couple of months make! Breakfast was fantastic, my evening meal The Pork Belly special was delicious. The rooms here are always great although the WIFI... More

We visited The Fountain Inn today - it was a lovely warm refuge on a bitterly cold day. We had fish and chips for lunch and it was delicious. Our daughter (5) had the children's pasta dish and wolfed it down so that's praise indeed! Service was good - the wait for food was a little long (35 minutes) but... More

Didn't stay in hotel, only had breakfast - eggs Benedict, first attempt was burnt, second had raw eggs. Teenage staff didn't give a toss, embarrassment to Cowes. I would rather have eaten in Sainsbury's restaurant.
