The Union Inn

Good location Breakfast enough Old rooms Busy bar Free wifi Service not satisfied

Great location in central Cowes. Check in was easy and staff friendly. Small but cosy room, had coffee/tea making facilities with fresh milk. Great continental breakfast selection each morning. Only negative was lack of mirrors, plugs in our room had to unplug the fridge! Would definitely stay again, thanks

For visitors seeking a refined and cosy pub experience on the Isle of Wight, The Union Inn offers a welcome respite. Situated within steps of the seafront, it boasts a serene ambience with rooms that have captivating sea views, making it a truly unique destination. Don't be put off that it is a pub, you can't hear people downstairs at all from the lovely rooms above. People who stay also have their own entrance - next to the pub's, so it feels safe and secure when going to and from. The food is also fantastic! What a great little B&B in a fantastic location - perfect for a peaceful time away.

Came here Friday night for a drink. What a great pub! Didn’t eat so can’t comment on food but Guinness was good, great atmosphere and lovely staff ! A tradition proper pub ! Dog and goat friendly as well ! Didn’t have the goat with us so just took the two dogs 🐶 🤣🤣🤣

Arrived Thursday evening went to the bar and booked in. There is no Inn parking and the best I found was on West Cowes promenade which is only a minute from the Inn. Tip - while you have to pay a surcharge to use the PaybyPhone app, if you buy parking on it before 6pm and it expires after 6pm, you AUTOMATICALLY get overnight parking until 10am added on. Nice! The barmaid wasn’t busy and happily took us up to our room and answered questions we had. We asked if they were serving food and yes they were however we didn’t end up eating there during our stay. The room was really nice and quiet. Most rooms have a second door off the landing further ensuring noise is at a minimum (was in room 1). Clean and well decorated with the odd signs of use you would expect. The bed was enormous and took up most of the room, but was comfortable to sleep on with clean linen, double pillows and additional al cushions. The draws and other furniture were ‘vintage’ but worked well and did what it was supposed to. The bathroom was clean with plenty of hot water. In the room was a small fridge with milk in, juices and bottled water. Tea and coffee were available along with a small kettle and some chocolate wafers. There were all topped up daily, free of charge. Large tv on the wall. We did have problems with the TV but managed to sort it by turning it off at the plug (above and behind the TV) for a few minutes. WiFi was available however we were not able to get it in our too. But was available on the landing and in the bar itself so no big deal. The room was serviced to a high standard every day by the due sly housekeeper. I don’t know why people complained about breakfast on here, yes it’s all laid out on the landing table, but there were at least 5 types of cereal, fresh bread, crumpets, and poptarts (if they’re your thing) for toasting, various breakfast bars, jam, fruit etc. more than enough for a filling breakfast and you can help yourself to as much or as little as you’d like. There was also a tassimo machine with a range of coffees, just may have to fill it up at times. No big deal. For the price of the room and a continental breakfast I was more than happy to stay and would return again if staying on the IoW.

Been coming here for a year for a drink but never eaten. A locals drinking pub. Food seemed to be more of a priority on visiting this evening. Sounded good but was terrible!! Triple cooked chips!! You are having a laugh!! They were just fries. Greasy rubbish food with 1 bar maid that was friendly and one that could not be more miserable if she tried!! Drinks expensive will not be visiting again.

Stayed here for one night,booked 2 rooms and both were fine. So many nice touches, water, fresh milk in the fridge not those awful little sachets, and the price included a continental breakfast. Wonderful value in a great location

“Boutique” this is not. One night stay, arrived late afternoon to a brusque check-in. The room was freezing on arrival though the convection heater did it’s job over the next few hours, could this have been switched on in advance. The room is dated and a little shabby, stains on the carpet and musty smell. The bathroom floor obviously has a rotten floorboard under Lino. Overall functional, reasonably clean but disappointing. Bed was comfortable
