Stayed with friends and family in three rooms. All rooms and bathrooms were spotless with plenty of room. Very good mattress in a good size bed, a wardrobe with hangers, desk and bedside tables with drawers to put stuff in. Very attentive service. Well organised with QR codes. Very relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. I promised I would leave this review if the coffee at breakfast was good 😊👍

Stayed for two nights on a business trip, very cute guest house, tastefully decorated, with a comfy bed and not far from everything, walking distance from red jet ferry terminal. Feel safe as a solo traveler. Self check-in and ordering breakfast via the online form were easy, and the pre-check-in guide was very helpful. Breakfast was great, big portions with lots of choices. This place is perfect for introverts as you don't really need to talk to any staff during your stay, everything is well taken care of with online forms and all little written guides but they make sure to say goodbye with a warm smile when they heard I was leaving on my checkout day. I appreciate that.

A very well maintained guest house located close to the Red Funnel ferry port. Very clean and despite being close to the centre of Cowes it was very quiet. Stayed in one of the king rooms with a sea view and the room was both spacious and provided an unobstructed view of the Solent. Breakfast was great and provided enough calories to last the entire day. Good communication from the hosts leading up to our stay and throughout. Happily recommend.

Really comfortable B&B. We had a lovely top floor room with views over the rooftops to the sea, which could also be seen from the bed. Enjoyed the Tea Pigs selections of teas (we drank many), a nice vegan breakfast and found the owners very nice and accommodating (for example we asked for a later breakfast on Saturday after doing Park Run). Everything was easy to do .. really appreciated the quick digital means to order/request things/pay for extras… made things so easy. But owners were easily accessible too if needed. Would recommend.

Perfect location for beginning our walk around the Isle of Wight. Room was very comfortable, breakfast was excellent. The whole stay was an enjoyable experience. Had a dinner nearby at 'The Coast' which was also very good.

Had a great 2 night stay here last month. Perfect location being within easy walk of Cowes town. Parking available on the driveway (just leave your keys in a mini safe so they can shuffle). No contact check in however owners available should you require them. Most things done via scanning QR codes, including pre-booking breakfast menu. Really glad we upgraded to a sea view room as enjoyed seeing the ferries and boats come and go. Room and bed were comfortable with everything we needed. Happily recommend staying here - was very good value with excellent breakfast.

Great location, short walk to the restaurants and bars in Cowes. Excellent breakfast, choose what you want the evening before and everything is freshly cooked for you. Nice room, stayed during very hot weather, fan in the room so it was OK. Parking space provided in a single driveway for 4 cars. Just leave your keys in a safe and the owners move the cars around in the morning without disturbing you if necessary. Cowes is a great base for exploring the island. Had a lovely time, highly recommended.

My partner and I stayed for 1 night as part of a trip cycling around the Isle of Wight. The room was lovely, bed really comfy and loved the honesty bar in the lounge! Also super accommodating for bikes, would recommend :)
