The evening meals in the restaurant were well-prepared and nicely presented, not big portions. Helpful and friendly front-of-house staff. Very accommodating thank you to them, the staff were a great advert for the island. The bed was fine and big and the bed room furniture was good, not so the rest of the suite.

All aspects outstanding - the history and furnishings were fabulous, the rooms and views over The Solent superb, the welcome warm and hospitable, breakfast choices and quality excellent. There is easy car parking, 1gbt wifi, an honesty bar and terrace for summer morning breakfasts. Maggie did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable, including offering to dry wet clothes and golf gear for our group of seven - can't thank her highly enough.

The location of the property was ideal, being just at the end of the Red Jet terminal and in the middle of town. The facilities were top notch and Zoe was very helpful throughout. Great value and perfect for what we were looking for.

Everything was either in line with expectations or exceeded expectations. But first and foremost, Dan was a wonderful host who went over and above to make our stay as comfortable as possible.
Easy to get around on foot.
Some lovely local produce & traders as well as the usual High St stores all in close proximity.
Lots of good local friendly pubs.

I know Cowes well because my mother in law lived there so for many years I regularly visited her and stayed in the town. Since she died I have not visited as often and hadn't been to the Isle of Wight for two years until I stayed this autumn. It was a quick visit, but the shops in Cowes and the waterfront areas and town beaches are always interesting. I wouldn't stay quite as late in the year again as many places shut at the end of October or by early November, and if they're not shut completely they can be quiet and shut early (eg some of the out of town shops). Even the Cowes shops were beginning to wind down about 4pm on the Saturday and there weren't many people about. So do go but the warmer months and early autumn are probably better as there's more going on and there are more options. We ate at Mojac's and the Pier Inn, both excellent places for evening meals. The Pier Inn is also a pub but has a separate dining area. It was nice to go in pubs and for them not to be crowded but they do shut bang on 11pm.

Easy access to Osborne House in East Cowes.
Easy access to Osborne House in East Cowes. Really worth a visit! The island is very small and so one can drive round it and see lots each day.. Everywhere on the island is less than 35 minutes from Cowes (in October). Lots of good restaurants in Cowes.

We love the Isle of Wight.
We love the Isle of Wight. Beautiful island and I feel so safe there. We ate at The Coast which we thoroughly recommend. Tremendous atmosphere.
When we didn't use our car we used a local taxi who were brilliant and never let us down.

We enjoyed our visit although as it was the Isle of Wight Festival during our visit traffic queues and road closures were in abundance. We spent a lovely day at the Big Cat sanctuary which was fairly empty making it a good opportunity to see the cats and talk to the keepers who are all so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Great visit. There are lots of shopping facilities, great views and lovely little hamlets and places to visit around the island. The park we stayed in was peaceful but had easy access to Cowes and to the ferry port. Friendly people and we enjoyed great weather.

We were visiting family and attending a wedding, the resort is very busy and cheerful with lovely bats, restaurants and shops and boutiques. The waterfront is very picturesque and attracts visitors of all ages. There isnt to much to do for children that i saw, but maybe thats something to look into.
Lovely little B&B place close to the centre of Cowes. Parking outside, lovely room with big windows, spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. Breakfast was delicious! Hot and cold options served overlooking the garden. Paula is a marvellous host, going above and beyond to make our stay comfortable including giving us a lift into town in the rain and sending back a forgotten charger free of charge. One of the very best B&Bs we have ever stayed in, we loved it!!
Really enjoyed our stay at Halcyone. The host, Lee , was very helpful and accommodated to our diet needs. The room looked out at the Cowes harbour and marina. We were able to walk to the town centre in the evenings which was only a 10mins walk (walked slowly as we have a 6yrs old). The cooked breakfast was also very good with hefty portions and we also had choice of a number of cereals and toast. We will be staying there when we're next at the Isle Of Wight.
Really cosy and spotlessly clean. A great location, walking distance to the centre of Cowes (about 3 mins). Great attention to detail and very well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Hosts were lovely and easy to get hold of. Parking is on the road and host sorted out a parking permit for us and there was not a problem getting a space.
Location is very ideal if you travel by Red Jet, about 3 min walk from the terminal. Great amenities around since it's in the town centre of Cowes. Host is very attentive and friendly. The bedroom is very spacious, with a separate room equipped with microwave, sink, fridge, tea/coffee making facilities - more than enough for what we needed.
A delightful weekend in a very cosy home. Delicious breakfasts each morning kept us going all day. The hosts were very gracious and enthralled is with tales and pictures of the wildlife that visit their charming garden. Well situated in Cowes meant that we were able to explore most of the Isle of Wight.
We will definitely be back .
For a 3 star hotel you really do get 4 star treatment for your money. Perfectly situated with a wonderful terrace overlooking the Solent. Lovely breakfast, super comfy room and the staff were so friendly & attentive, nothing was too much trouble. A short walk along the seafront took you into Cowes town centre which was super quaint.
This accommodation was really good! It was perfect for what we wanted. The location was perfect - quiet and easily accessible from around the island. Clean, tidy with wonderful hosts, a lovely sea view and plenty of space. Mary even made sure we had a high chair for our little one! We had such a lovely time - we will return!
The hotel has everything you would want when having a few days away. In the heart of Cowes and the main strip, and the Solent.
The decor so welcoming and great restaurant and outside amenities, bikes, heated pool.
The best breakfast I have ever had, very professional and welcoming staff.
We had everything we needed for our weekend trip to Cowes. The room itself was lovely, and had all the facilities we needed for our stay. Barbara was a wonderful host, and the breakfast was delicious each morning. The location was perfect, and a short walk to the town center by foot.
Great location amazing old building, lovely friendly staff, Situated in heart of Cowes near all amenities, mins from Red Jet.
Only downside Hotel a bit tired needs a bit of an uplift but I believe that is going to happen.
Despite this we would stay again.
We think we had the best room in the hotel, plenty of space, quiet, stunning view of the Solent. would certainly stay there again. Very obliging staff. Good choice for breakfast. Overall Woodvale gave us very good value for money.
Very friendly staff
Good breakfast
Bar hours
Traditional ambience and view of the Solent made us feel it was a good choice for first visit to Isle of Wight.
Would consider again next time in Cowes
Stable cottages was lovely and cozy a short walk to the beach and dog friendly. Nice welcome from the owner and nice touch with eggs and milk in fridge with tes or coffee in jars.
What a nice surprise. The home was impeccable and like brand new. Very spacious with all the luxuries of home. The hosts couldn’t be nicer and we didn’t want to leave.
Excellent food and service at both breakfast and dinner. Very helpful and pleasant staff throughout the hotel. The dining rooms have spectacular views out to sea.
Staff very friendly and incredibly helpful. Excellent breakfast and plenty of choice. Always served quickly. Ideal location by the Redjet and in centre of Cowes.
It was close to town and the seafront. It felt like a ‘safe place’ as I was familiar with The Union. I have eaten and drank many many times as I live in Cowes.
