The Anchor Inn

We have enjoyed what will be 4 nights at the Anchor when we checkout tomorrow. Our twin bedded room has been warm, cosy and well equipped. With a fabulous high pressure hot shower; most welcome after long coastal walks. Fresh towels and replenished tea trays, with delightful staff attending to our every need. Nothing has been too much trouble! The bar has a fantastic vibe, friendly and welcoming. The location, unmatched! Perfect as a base for exploring the island, round the corner from the bus stop into Newport and a stones throw from local restaurants and cafes. Superb value for money. We enjoyed a meal on our second night. Chicken and gammon pie with green peas, and a Ploughman’s, proper pub grub! Live music on our third night, great fun. Highly recommended.

Generous room well decorated. The bathroom was roomy but would have benefited from a few hooks for towels & clothing. No breakfast available and no recommendation on where to eat but we found a good option at Harbour Kitchen just down the road.

Lovely place to enjoy a bit of a lively drink and social time. Got plenty of different beers and ciders. Good friendly staff with some decent pub food. Lots of little nooks and crannies to sit in with friends.

A great place to stay, right in the heart of Cowes. Great music, atmosphere and staff. All staff were friendly, helpful and a joy to be around. The room was clean and comfortable and suited its purpose. Will stay again for sure.

Excellent accommodation while on the Isle of Wight. Food was also excellent and staff extremely helpful. Great location

Excellent service and very clean facility,Friendly staff

Budget hotel twin room above the pub. Ideal for one night stay. Room was small but adequate for stopover night break. Private bathroom but not ensuite - so inconvenient to use during the night. No breakfast on offer. Room was basic but quiet.

Our stay was for 1 night only and was perfect for us, the hotel was clean the staff we encountered could not have been nicer, they were very friendly and helpful, the bed was very comfortable, would stay there again

Great location , very central.. rooms are cute but basic.. room wasn’t cleaned over 2 days I was there .. no room service .. although there is bar/restaurant underneath .. noisy outside .. bring ear plugs!
