Fountain Inn by Greene King Inns

Was in the attic- curtains didn’t cover windows, very stuffy and low ceilings made it difficult, shower was barely usable due to attic ceiling. Old fashioned brown furniture and foam pillows . The bed was comfortable but due to lumpy cushions and heat barely slept. Great food choice for breakfast and great service was a plus otherwise book elsewhere. For a chain hotel it should get a refurbishment to modernise it. Shame as a great location and staff seem to care.

We went in for some food around Midday on 10th Feb 25. We were served by Nicki who made sure we had everything we needed, were served in a timely manner, & that we were happy. The food was wonderful and she was so lovely and welcoming. Overall a really positive experience!

The staff, service and welcome was excellent. I was pleasantly surprised by the room, which was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable too. Be prepared for steep stairs to access your room as this is an older property with no lift. We were on the street side so there was the inevitable Saturday night noise but earplugs sorted that out. Breakfast was very good value and there was an excellent selection including fresh fruit and cooked items to order.

Did not stay but had an evening meal. The food was delicious, I had the steak and Ruddles pie and my wife had Butternut squash and beetroot risotto. The pastry for the pie was so good. The added roasted butternut squash and beetroot on the risotto made it outstanding. Served by a lovely young lady Mimi, who was bright, cheerful and all round nice. It was without doubt the best meal we have had on the island . Would definitely recommend

The beds are so comfortable and my room was quiet and pleasant. The staff were so helpful and friendly. The food was exceptional, a huge choice, plenty of veggie and vegan options, beautifully cooked and presented. If you need newly painted walls, posh floors and sniffy service then go somewhere else! Add in the proximity to the Red Jet terminal and it's perfect for me and clearly many others. The history of the Fountain is in the walls and fabric of the building. It's been there a long time. So thank you Fountain, I'll be back whenever I'm in Cowes.

I cannot fault the experience the staff give us at the Fountain. Stayed here for a night out in Cowes but ended up enjoying a lovely meal and drinks at the pub. Great atmosphere and live music which added to our evening. Il definitely stay here again.
