Fountain Inn by Greene King Inns

Had steak with scampi topper, colleague had steak with squid topper. Both over cooked! Asked for tartare sauce for the scampi, told it was extra charge after spending £42

Lovely meals, quick service and good value for money. Can thoroughly recommend the pea, mint and courgette risotto. The prawn and chorizo risotto also went down well. Four empty plates back to the kitchen! Will be back for a roast dinner! Thanks Sue for looking after us

The location is excellent! We took the ferry over from Southampton and the Fountain Inn is right at the ferry dock. It’s on the High Street of Cowes, which is lovely. The check in desk for the Inn was not staffed, so we went to the bar to check in, out and if we needed anything. The staff here are very friendly and helpful. Our room was on the first floor, directly above the area in the pub where the musicians perform. It was very loud in our room. I should have realized that on a bank holiday weekend, and during the Fringe fest, it would be very busy…..and loud. The room is quite spacious with a large double bed, desk and chair and wardrobe. The bed was comfortable, but the pillows were too hard for me. The bathroom was fine, with decent water pressure in the shower.

Just off the RedJet to visit family and had an excellent lunch at the Fountain Inn. Great atmosphere and a friendly place to relax. Nicki was our server, cheerful and accommodating. Food was quite good and there was a good selection of beer and other beverages

Great welcome from Nicola, Andy,Nicki and Mimi!! Its a grand old Inn , with good accommodation to suit everyone. Prices very reasonable. We were in Room 2. which was plenty big enough for two (Booked. at last minute). It was a side facing window so not a great view! But so comfortable! Big size bed, cosy duvet and pillows. Plenty of storage! Bathroom small but functionable. shower over bath! Breakfast was smashing, plenty of everything, super service with Nicki. Bar, well stocked and well run by Toby and Sue etc. Lovely stay ❤️

Just spent the weekend at this hotel, some observations. Firstly positives - comfortable bed, clean sheets and towels. Breakfast good service. Issues: The hotel needs a clean and a paint. All areas are grubby with peeling paint etc. My bathroom was not clean. The toilet was a disgrace - there were marks on the seat (which I wiped off), the sealant at the back was stained yellow, under the rim must never have been cleaned. The leather headboard had no leather left on it.. The curtains let in all the light at night. Also not nets / blinds meant I had to close the curtains to get changed. My room was on 3rd floor with no lift or help with luggage - this must be made known as not everyone will be able to manage this. There a bar next door that has music late - I was woken up a few times. Unfortunately on arrival, the smell of urine from the bar toilet hits. Our check-in was not smooth with some issues on our booking which took some time to resolve even though we had the confirmation of the details already paid for.
