It is in the middle of Cowes so convenient for everything, being above a pub it is a bit noisy but to be expected. The windows open onto the high street which would be nice to know beforehand. I was there for for four nights but the room wasn’t serviced while I was there, bottled water was provided when I arrived but not replenished during my stay.

Perfect location for a weekend in Cowes. Close to the ferry, bars and rest. No disturbance from the pub either.

I booked the property going solely from the reviews and was not disappointed. The room was clean and comfortable. The food choices and service was good and i enjoyed eating there. I was not really expecting much as the cost was very reasonable but was impressed. The staff were really good and very pleasant. This is a town centre pub so noise may be an issue at times but during our stay it was only evident on the friday night (before xmas) which still was not a problem. I would definitely stay there again.

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.
Great band and entertainment area.

Staff is helpful and friendly. The room is spacious. Great location close to the ferry pier with walkable distance. Plenty of restaurants around but need to check the opening time(most closed on Monday).

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.

The staff were friendly, the room was cute and clean BUT there was noisy drilling and hammering until late at night nearby and shortly after 6am, lorries unloading for nearby Sainsbury’s and Poundland which made for a poor night’s sleep sadly

There was no wardrobe or desk in the room The shower was magnificent The staff were superlative Obviously there is no lift as it is an old building not the staff took my luggage to the room The location is excellent For a single male the accommodation is fine but I imagine ladies would expect more comfort I had a wonderful stay and the staff were wonderful

Great location in downtown Cowes and near floating bridge to E Cowes. Room up a lot of stairs. Bathtub in terrible shape - not just leaking - hemmoraging! ! Needs to be replaced. Unique experience to stay above a bar - noise not an issue but there was no band that nite. Had almost no contact with staff. They did help me with my bag.

We stay at the Anchor before and after the IOW festival every year . It’s near the ferry terminal close to shops etc . Lovely pub with great food . Rooms are small and clean and can be a bit noisy as above a pub but that’s to be expected . Our room this year was very hot but a fan was in the room which helped a bit. Only complaint this year the mattresses really need replaced ,so thin in our room you could feel every slat and the pillows thin and cheap . Maybe ok for one night but after 4 nights our backs not good and would put us off staying again . We did ask if they had any Mattress toppers and were just told no. Overall convenient , hand location clean good selection of drinks and food excellent

We were only there to sleep really as we were down from the North West for a funeral. Hence not being able to rate on some areas. Only one problem really the first night we stayed it was very cold in the room, to be fair we had not put any heating on when we checked in and then we had gone to see family so it was late when we got back. There were blankets provided but possibly the room could have been pre heated for us? Very small issue.
