I and my family stayed at the Union Inn for a couple of nights. The hotel and restaurant bar met our expectations, hotel cleanliness and perfect size of the rooms are great. The staff and owner were very friendly; they accommodated us nicely. Also, the location of the hotel is superb, very central; the food and breakfast we really enjoyed; it was excellent value and delicious, owner should be proud and the place is very recommendable.

Nothing we don't liked, the place is perfect and recommendable

A real cracking hidden gem. We travelled from Ireland to visit family on the Island, and from stepping in the door we received a very warm welcome. The room was beautiful and so comfortable, and a great shower with shampoo and body wash that would rival spa products. Everything you need is there. We had the breakfast which came with our room and it was wonderful. Everything cooked fresh, and all exceptional products. 10/10. Thank you for having us!

Was central to Cowes and in a great location to The pub was charming and full of character The bed was very comfortable and the space was over all very clean and well presented The staff very kindly let us check in early and it was very much appreciated

Very miner niggles and to be honest nothing would put us off returning There was water bubbling up through the sink and did create a smell but was only happened once in the morning and fine in the room with bathroom door shut Also shower door was loose Like I say very miner things

The room was clean and organised, the view was amazing especially with the seagulls in the morning.The staffs were very polite. The breakfast was very good and my family enjoyed the stay

Things that may be could improve is the waiting time on ordering food. As my children wanted more but the queue was too long. It would be nice to have a toilet brush in the bathroom.

Great location close to everything going on ,plenty of things to see and do and close to the ferry terminal. breakfast was very nice so we're the staff.

hard to get a drink of an evening as too many bar stools block the bar. very busy and compact shower was difficult to turn around in and get in and out of room smelt of smoke in the morning .

It’s fab. Room was perfect and complimentary water and hot drinks. The bed was very comfortable and it is a perfect fusion of old and new. In the main pub - it was quaint and what every traditional public house needs to feel like. It feels like you are sat in history. Great ambience.

The property is great and the value for money would be hard to meet.

The cosy room is very clean. View from the window was amazing in the morning with hot chocolate. And the message on the shampoo bottles was a nice touch tbh 👌🏼

All dialled 🤙🏼except the loud drunk people at night, we had to keep the windows open and listen to the stupid talk. But it's all good. It was a weekend either way, and we had enough sleep to cycle around the island👍🏼

Great - breakfas much better than what was offered before. Back to pre Covid days. Highly recommended.

We had two single beds extra in our room. Made it feel smaller but guess we took family room. Can’t complain otherwise

Nice room above the pub, cosy but comfortable and clean. Booked for a trip to Isle of Wight festival. Not super smart but nice anyway, staff were helpful and friendly. Pub open when we got back from the festival until 2am. Breakfast not cooked - self service items but fine as lots of lovely places to visit in Cowes for brunch.
