Top Hotels Near Military History Museum in Cowes from NZ$119

"The hotel is very strange and you have to check in online then you get given a code walk to your room and on the wall next to your room is a lockbox where you enter that code to get your key to get into the room all of that takes a very long time and it feels more like a Airbnb rental than an actual hotel. The bar has no drinks to sell and we soon found out in the town that the hotel has recently shut down and reopened under new ownership. My hunch would be the new owners have never run a hotel before."

"Such a warm, fun and friendly atmosphere, with a great bar/restaurant and personal service. The building has that old, coastal charm, an interesting history and a great location near the Red Funnel ferry. Enjoyed walking the city and taking the chain ferry to Osbourne House and the Needles. Would love to go back and spend more time there and would choose the same hotel."

"Great stay as always, friendly staff and great breakfast too!"

"No air conditioning but there was a dyson fan and a heater. Room had a coffee machine, mini fridge, hairdryer and a handheld steamer. We stayed in a room overlooking the harbour and it was very quiet. You couldn't hear any noise from the pub next door. Room was modern and very clean. The bed was huge (king) and very comfortable. There were places nearby to get breakfast and is very close to a Sainsbury and M&S food (Apr26)."

"Nice typical bed and breakfast. Friendly owner, nice room, lovely cooked breakfast. Ticks all the boxes as a good base in Newport."

"Entertaining stay! The hotel itself is really nice, it's very clean and tidy throughout, which is so important to me personally. My room was roomy and had all that I required for a one night stay, even longer would have been fine also. the bathroom while a mixture of modern and old fashioned, again was fine for my stay, it had a lovely walking show fitted with a rain head, which was all very nice, toilet & sink though were a horrid pink, bit functional, although the cold tap had to be turned in the wrong directionion to make it work, which is like to see replaced with a new set, so they worked as expected. Breakfast was excellent, the quality of the produce used was excellent and this alone would make me return for another stopover, which I shall. My only criticism is that the fire alarm went off just after midnight, which turned into a right nightmare, as there was noone on site form the hotel itself, so 4 of us were left to try and resolve the problem, which resulted in the fire brigade having to attend and reassure us that we could rest easy for the rest of the night, what a bloody pain that was in the early hours. "

"Restaurant really good and room big and clean , breakfast was not ver diverse and poor "

"A good roof over your head with a lovely breakfast provides a great foundation for the perfect holiday. And for this reason I have to give Ethel high praise for looking after me, my wife and daughter, during our four-day stay at the Newport Quay B&B Hotel. The comfortable king size and single bed in our bedroom suited us well, including the en-suite bathroom - all clean and ship shape. Breakfast in this 17th century Grade II listed building was served before 9am and included cereal, a fruit juice, toast with jam and marmalade, tea, coffee, croissant, a yoghurt and fruit. Ethel gave us plenty advice on where to go and what to see. Because we purchased a tourist parking permit, we were able to park outside the hotel. The online permit also allowed us to park at council-run car parks by the beach and in our favourite spot, the picturesque Shanklin Old Village. There are council offices in the next street from the hotel, but don’t park there as the spaces are for staff only. Our room was on the first floor which wasn’t a bind, but if you are disabled, perhaps call them first. Being in the centre it was good for getting treats and we were just one street away from a lovely Italian restaurant. The oldest pub on the island was also a 10-minute walk from the hotel. Unlike other places which don’t allow three adults in one room it was good value for money. Although we were only there for a short while, it was sad to say goodbye. This place definitely ticked all the boxes. "

"Unfortunately the room requested was not available as we had our small dog with us so were allocated a dog friendly room which was fine but it only had a 4’6 bed which really is not expected these days. Following the downgrading of the room by the hotel and being advised that the room requested would be cheaper. The new price unfortunately was not honoured despite numerous requests for a refund so overall not the best experience."
