🙂 The hotel has an excellent geographical location, very close to the pier. There are supermarkets, bus stations, restaurants, etc. nearby. There is a seaside promenade at the back door of the hotel where you can take a walk and the sunset is beautiful. The room is quite spacious 😮‍💨The hotel wifi is very weak and often disconnected 😔There is a bar downstairs in the hotel which is very noisy every night Breakfast is not worth mentioning, the bread provided is not fresh not recommend 😕

A vegan meal was £17 yet they forgot the vegan cheese and coleslaw. When asked the coleslaw wasn’t vegan and they ‘forgot’ the cheese. If you advertise a vegan meal you need to make sure it is vegan. Otherwise it’s false advertising! For £17 it was a dry burger and I won’t be revisiting.

Incredible value for money. We had a flawless 2 night stay. Absolutely no complaints. Incredible breakfasts included in price but only £5 if you walked in off the street . Every item on the plate hot , very rare in my vast experience 😉Great bar staff. Looked after luggage after checkout. Faultless.

A very honest review of a pub that’s run by a very dodgy man. Went into this pub over Xmas. Treated me and friends like criminals, constantly starting at us. Didn’t even put alcohol in drinks which we ordered! Rumour has it the spirits are watered down, that’s why they pour them out of sight. This comes from my family who live there. When I took picture of pub he covered his face, as if he didn’t want to be recognised. You can see this in picture. Does nothing for the future of this pub according to the locals which says quite a lot! Oh, and staff don’t know what a tumbler is. And the pub don’t own any!!! Apparently constantly moans when he’s quiet in the winter. I wonder why?

Visited the Union pub for a roast dinner. We all had the local beef. Felt we needed to write a review to say what a fantastic meal we had. It was homemade and so fresh. Definitely would go again when next visiting the island. The roast was on £14 per person. Really good value 😁

I rarely visit Cowes but the Union is always a good 'go to place' for lunch. Is a lovely typical old style pub with ambience and in a convenient location. The barmaid was lovely, friendly and welcoming. Menu has a reasonable selection and reasonably priced. Unfortunately, I marked slightly down as I had the special aanndd......although the sausages were 'really' delicious, I found the accompanying creamy mash far too creamy & too much and subsequently spoilt my enjoyment. However, I will certainly return 👌
