The hotel was referred by a friend who said the hotel was fabulous and the food fantastic.
When we arrived we were told there was no food at all. Breakfast for £17.00 each so we didn’t agree to that. The room was good apart from the toilet which did not flush every time. The location is lovely.

Check in lady was friendly and helpful.
Check out guy was very indifferent / did not say anything to us..

The location is great, overlooking the seafront. Parking was free and we had no trouble getting a space. It's about a 15 minute walk to the main shops/restaurants in Cowes.

Our room was spacious, but very stuffy due to the window being quite small and its location being unable to let air through. Thankfully there was a ceiling fan which helped but could have been a bit stronger.

We had room only so cannot comment on breakfast.
There was a lovely balcony area overlooking the seafront and they were about to set up some extra garden furniture (with parasols) on the other side of the reception area, allowing for more outdoor seating/space.

There was a kettle in the room, with tea/coffee (and extra available in reception).
Toiletries were a handwash and an all-in-one hair/body wash.

A great location for the seafront.

Overall very disappointing. Bedroom was ok but hardly a Seaview looking over rooftop, good hot water though and comfortable bed. I was aware it was only bed and breakfast but not told there would be nobody on ‘site’ after 5pm until a email arrived the day before. Could not access outside space after that time which would have been nice. Room only serviced on one morning, maybe I should of asked!

Tired decor, although some en suites have been slightly refurbished. Carpets are very poor and stained. Need cleaning if not replacing. Breakfast selections poor unless you want a cooked breakfast which looked much better than the other options. Only natural yogurt and very limited cereal options. No fresh fruit other than fruit salad.

Low cost budget place which does the job but don’t have high expectations. No aircon in the room I had but it did have a ceiling fan.

The hotel is being rescued so it’s very basic. Bar and restaurant closed. Bit 1970s. Good luck to the new owners. They use minimum staff and cannot yet exploit the real potential. Eg hairdryer broke down immediately and no-one on desk.
You get what you pay for which is fair, but minimal. It’s really look after yourself AB&B.
Would I stay again. Yes if budget was the big issue. No if we wanted atmosphere and attention.

The hotel is very strange and you have to check in online then you get given a code walk to your room and on the wall next to your room is a lockbox where you enter that code to get your key to get into the room all of that takes a very long time and it feels more like a Airbnb rental than an actual hotel.

The bar has no drinks to sell and we soon found out in the town that the hotel has recently shut down and reopened under new ownership.

My hunch would be the new owners have never run a hotel before.

Great location for walking to Cowes centre and for the chain ferry to East Cowes. Comfortable room although very hot and impossible to turn the one radiator (in bedroom) off.
Decent breakfast although some of the cooked items could have been hotter. Overall I would recommend and be happy to stay again.

We booked 2 sea view rooms for 3 nights. Only one room had a sea view and the bathroom in that room had black mould around the ceiling. The other room had a very old mattress and the bedding was old and thin. The pillows in that room were flat. We checked out after 1 night and will not be back. Whilst the staff were friendly, this hotel needs refurbishment, new mattresses, new duvets, pillows, blankets and linen. Mould is injurious to health and no hotel of the calibre that this hotel claims to be should have it.

Hotel needs a few updates

The staff were all absolutely lovely but the hotel is really run down inside and very dated. On one of my nights the fire alarm kept going off multiple times, at one point waking everyone up at 0100. No offer of discount for the interrupted sleep was given. Outside was lovely, its in a great spot but the whole hotel really needs updating.

Nice location on the coast walk and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The property is a bit shabby. The shower fixture was difficult to use as the temperature control knob was extremely stiff. And the carpet in the rooms felt dirty.

My wife agrees with me, that our visit, was an all round, very pleasant experience. And we will come again next year.

Disappointed

The room was very small at the back of the hotel facing a wall. There was only one receptionist who was on the phone dealing with a future booking when we arrived so we had to wait for a considerable amount of time. There was a ceiling fan which was helpful.
There was shampoo but no conditioner which was disappointing. No iron in the room either. Not really up to the standard we were expecting - we will not stay there again.

Actually quite frustrated with Expedia who have billed me double what I was expecting. Was expecting a single night in a 3 star hotel to cost me no more than £70 and to my shock, I was billed £180 for a single night in the hotel. I have no idea how the price jumped from £70 to £180 but I have no doubt Expedia are up to dirty tricks to extract more money from people. Very very expensive for a single night in a three star hotel and it was supposed to be my birthday.

Well worth a visit

We and our dog received a warm welcome. The staff were attentive, the room well appointed and the evening meal was excellent. Breakfast was efficient and there were plenty of choices. The location of the hotel is perfect views across the Solent. We even had the added entertainment of three cruise ships sailing right past us during dinner! It's an easy walk into Cowes or Gurnard from here. Although New Holmwood is part of Best Western it very much feels like an independent hotel. This is definitely a hotel we'll return to.

The hotel is in a great location on the seafront with the esplanade just out front offering beautiful views and walks to Cowes centre or Gurnard. Staff are friendly, professional and caring about the service delivered and their customers. A great base for IoW exploring! The restaurant served good quality dinners and breakfasts. We did not eat lunch at the hotel but I’m sure it’d be equally nice. The rooms were comfortable, clean and ours had a sea view.

Excellent hotel with very friendly staff

An excellent stay for a family cycling trip around the Island. The hotel made us feel very welcome & were able to store 5 bicycles for us in a secure place. We had dinner at the hotel which was of very good quality with an excellent choice for a very reasonable price. The rooms were very clean & comfortable ( we had booked 3 rooms) & my husband & I had the one with a seaview. There was a good sized terrace at the front of hotel which overlooked the sea front. The hotel was very COVID secure.
