A regency-era hotel with a history of distinguished guests, The Fountain Inn is located right next to the ferry terminal in Cowes, overlooking the water. While the rooms have a traditional atmosphere, with plush furnishings and pastoral paintings, they're also fitted out with contemporary features, like flat-screen TVs and Wi-Fi. A popular haunt for evening entertainment, The Fountain Inn hosts regular live music events. There's also a terrace area with views of the marina. The Fountain Inn has its own restaurant and bar, where an a la carte menu is supplemented by seasonal specials. A full breakfast is included in the room rate. Located in West Cowes, The Fountain Inn is just steps away from the pedestrianised High Street. Osborne House is 3 miles away, across the River Medina.

Generally, food at The Fountain Inn receives rave reviews. Guests love the value for money they get with the free, cooked breakfast, while the dinner options are varied and good deals are on offer.
While the staff do the best they can, some guests have noted that the same staff seem to be doing several roles, such as working on reception and simultaneously serving breakfast, so service can be slow.
If you don't fancy a late night of live music and would rather be tucked up early, then it's best to opt for a room away from the bar area. Guests report that the noisy revelry can last until the early hours of the morning.
The Wi-Fi signal doesn't always reach all of the guest rooms, so it can be a bit of a hassle, with the connection coming and going. You're likely to get the best connectivity in the public areas.
