The Caledon Guest House, hotel in Cowes

Situated in Cowes on the Isle of Wight, The Caledon Guest House boasts free Wi-Fi and free private parking. This family run Victorian house is just 5 minutes’ walk from the bustling town centre.

The property has charm and character with all the modern touches to make your stay comfortable. The check in is efficient and thorough and Mark messaged via text to make sure we had all we needed in advance of arrival. Breakfast was really delicious, and the quality of the produce was really impressive. The room was spacious and bright and the honesty bar a lovely touch, with ice and a slice available from the front reception room self-service bar.

The Denewood, hotel in Cowes

In a quiet location just 3 minutes’ walk from the beach, The Denewood is a family-run guest house in Sandown with free parking and Wi-Fi.

All the usual conveniences of course but Kevin and Sara went that extra mile to provide a warm and relaxing experience. Casual but professional - a great place to stay in a central location in Sandown a few minutes from the sea.

St Maur, hotel in Cowes

Located in a Victorian villa in one of the most beautiful areas on the coast of the Isle of Wight, St Maur is a family run guest house.

We have had the best stay at St Maur, from the moment we booked David has been so helpful. Thank you David and team for a wonderful stay. The room was fantastic, we will miss not waking up to that view and a coffee sat with the doors open. An amazing breakfast to set us up everyday, so much choice and all really excellent quality.

    This is a beautifully appointed guest house ,spotlessly clean and with very welcoming and obliging hosts. The breakfast was superb with an excellent variety on offer and expertly cooked and presented. I struggle to find any negatives although the en-suite was a bit tight for room but it was fully fitted and there were luxurious towels and toiletries. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

    Nice hosts, room was a great size and sheets perfectly clean. Breakfast was plentiful and in a beautiful setting in the conservatory! Garden at night is beautiful with the fairy lights! parking was easy on street or in their driveway if you have a small to medium-small car. It’s in a really great location on a quiet street. easy stroll into town too!

    Great location for a stroll to Cowes main street and Esplanade, direct access to park with no need to go through guest house. Fab hosts and amazing breakfast. Room was big enough with all you could need, even Netflix set up ready to use as a guest. Even got to meet badgers in the garden in the night!
