The Anchor Inn

I can’t fault the Anchor. We arrived late afternoon and were greeted by friendly staff. We were instantly upgraded to a larger room with its own bathroom. The rooms are clean and equipped. We were in Cowes for a wedding and we leisurely got ready and went to the pub for a drink. Good selection of beers and the pub offers a ‘good ole pub’ feeling which has been lost with the growing eateries. As islanders this was nice to see. We had a comfortable nights sleep- clean linen and towels. The pub was noisy on our return to the room but it is a pub !! So I would expect nothing less. Great atmosphere and lots of folk enjoying themselves. We were asked by staff on checking out if everything was ok and this felt like a genuine question and not lip service. The accommodation is more than adequate and at the current rates who could complain. We will definitely be back. Cowes is a great place for a night out and The Anchor has proved to be a hidden gem.

A good room, great staff, a feet from the hustle and bustle and the water. We had the last room left. Amenities in room. En-suite. Clean and fresh, a little noisy in the morning. Deliveries start early so clatter and voices. Other than the hard climb, at our age, to the top it was a lively time. We will return , hopefully to a bigger room. We could some as we were leaving and they were cleaning. Would I recommend? For the price - yes. No complaints.

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.

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.

Stayed a night while travelling round the Isle of Wight . Great place for visiting and looking round Cowes . Clean room with all amenities . The staff friendly and could'nt do enough for you. Food and menu was great . They don't do Breakfast but advised us to go over the road to "the sails "great recommendation . They don't have parking but there are car parks very near. Really great stay .If you don't stay just try the food !!!!
