About The Union Inn
Rooms at The Union Inn come with their own en-suite bathrooms and space for families, with drinks available in the room for anyone settling in for the evening. It's a straightforward, comfortable base rather than a luxury one, but guests get what they need after a day out on the Isle of Wight.
Downstairs there's a bar and restaurant serving breakfast and meals throughout the day, with a kids' menu for younger guests. Free WiFi runs throughout, and staff are on hand at the 24 hour reception for late arrivals or early starts. Luggage storage is available for those breaking up a longer trip, and free on-site parking means there's no need to worry about the car.
The inn sits on Watchouse Lane in Cowes, within reach of the Continental Ferry Terminal and close to walking and cycling routes, golf, fishing and watersports. Pubs, restaurants and entertainment nearby make it an easy spot to explore the town from, with Ryde St Johns Road a short drive away.
