Comfortable bed but Room 6 is in the attic and sloping roof meant it was quite a small living space. Shower room sink gurgled when guests beneath were showering. Breakfast was not great. Strange crispy omelette and hard avocado on toast!

Very good facilities in the room and the breakfast has been upgraded to cooked, also very good. Did have a gurgling noise from basin waste in room 6 when another room seemed to be showering. Could wake you if that room was early showers. Otherwise a very good night sleep in comfortable bed

Lovely little stay at this perfectly located B n B in the heart of cowes. Great for our 1 night stay. Staff super lovely and friendly. Would just like the option to take a coffee away in the morning. Maybe just get some take away coffee cups would be great! Thank you for a great little stay!

My friend and I were on a tour of the Isle of Wight so over a week we stayed at 5 hotels. The Union was head and shoulders above the rest. The room was excellent, looks to have been newly refurbished, including high quality windows. Would definitely recommend it.

6/10 at best.
“Boutique” this is not. One night stay, arrived late afternoon to a brusque check-in. The room was freezing on arrival though the convection heater did it’s job over the next few hours, could this have been switched on in advance. The room is dated and a little shabby, stains on the carpet and musty smell. The bathroom floor obviously has a rotten floorboard under Lino. Overall functional, reasonably clean but disappointing. Bed was comfortable
