Within a Hotel.

Pleasant town-centre hotel, enviably situated overlooking Cowes Harbour and adjacent to the ferry terminal, so you can enjoy a pint if you miss the ferry. Live music every Friday between 8 - 10pm – gets very busy at weekends, particularly Friday evenings. Out-door drinking and eating area. In addition to the standard Greene King portfolio a guest ale is often served as is a cider.
