A great pub with an excellent selection of beers and very welcoming and friendly staff. The rooms are clean and well furnished. We stayed on a Friday night and there was quite a lot of noise in the street outside after midnight. The food is a typical pub menu and was good

Stayed for one night. Pros: Comfort of bed, traditional inn with fire, welcome from staff, room was clean and newly furnished, boutique style, well located in Cowes, nice breakfast. Cost £69. Cons: Our bedroom view was limited and there was the dull thud of music in the background. Would stay again and would recommend to friends.

Excellent, comfortable room. Clean, stylish and great facilities. Brilliant location as we had travelled from Southampton as foot passengers on the ferry and the Union is just a couple of minutes walk away. Food was excellent - enormous full English breakfast - and staff couldn't have been more helpful or pleasant. Great base for exploring the island which we did... More

Four of us turned up on a Wednesday evening, we got amazing deals booking on Laterooms whilst in the hotels. The ladies were so helpful, friendly and entertaining. The pub was very British and full of interesting quirks. The rooms were modern, and of a very high standard. The breakfast was much better than a five star hotels and i... More

I definitely struck lucky staying and finding the Union Inn to stay at during a trade show I was attending on the IOW. on arrival I was shown to my room. Due to a slight issue with the loo in the original room, I was moved to another room quickly and without fuss - the rooms are tastefully decorated and... More

Stayed for 2 nights and I have to say the staff were excellent throughout, to be served by polite youngsters made a pleasant change. The room was fantastic with everything you needed and the bed was superb. The food is probably the best quality/value for money I have encountered on my travels. The only detractions was the noise generated in... More

We recieved a warm welcome on arrival and were just in time for tea. The food was scrumptious and plentiful. The boutique room we stayed in was beautiful, clean and it had everything we needed. We had the best night sleep and didn't hear any noise from the pub below. The log fire in the main bar area must be... More

What they don't tell you is that the bar is open till 0200 and if you are in room 5 you will NOT get any sleep until after that time, as that is where the smokers gather along with the doorman And then there is a street light that keeps this room like day light. A great service from all... More

Everything about the Union Inn is lovely. The room i stayed in was beautifully decorated in the boutique, shabby chic style, with a newly fitted ensuite. I had a good nights sleep, no noises to keep me awake. The pub downstairs is wonderfully decorated in a typical old english pub style. The whole place is immaculate and very clean. The... More

Brilliant location, with parking close by. We were on the island for a naming ceremony and stayed here last night, in Room 3, which is apparently the best one, and it has a full bath as well as shower. Plush furnishings with lovely bathroom. Service was spot on, at arrival and breakfast. Everyone was really friendly, and we felt valued... More
