Ward Avenue B&B is just 5 minutes’ walk from Cowes High Street and its port, where ferries leave for Southampton. This charming guest house offers attractive rooms and a full English breakfast.

Needing a late check-in (ie after 9.30pm), the hosts were more than understanding and very welcoming once we arrived. Very straight forward in showing us to our room. Breakfast was marvellous, and hosts warm and friendly

    Lovely little place, we enjoyed our walks around the area...

    Lovely little place, we enjoyed our walks around the area and relaxing and watching the boats etc. Very easy to get to, loads of eateries and pubs. If you like Yachts and boats then you will be in heaven, but even if you dont theres still plenty to keep you occupied. Its also very easy to move around the island from Cowes whether you drive or use the bus service.

    Easy to get around on foot.

    Easy to get around on foot. Some lovely local produce & traders as well as the usual High St stores all in close proximity. Lots of good local friendly pubs. Osborne House(connection to queen Victoria & Albert) is within walking distance with a 2 minute trip on the floating bridge (£1.50 return ticket)-this is a National Heritage building. Distinctive Royal mail postbox still in use here & if you use it, the postal stamp with reflect the Victoria & Albert connection. You can visit the tearoom & gift shop but need to pay to enter gardens & house.

    I know Cowes well because my mother in law lived there so...

    I know Cowes well because my mother in law lived there so for many years I regularly visited her and stayed in the town. Since she died I have not visited as often and hadn't been to the Isle of Wight for two years until I stayed this autumn. It was a quick visit, but the shops in Cowes and the waterfront areas and town beaches are always interesting. I wouldn't stay quite as late in the year again as many places shut at the end of October or by early November, and if they're not shut completely they can be quiet and shut early (eg some of the out of town shops). Even the Cowes shops were beginning to wind down about 4pm on the Saturday and there weren't many people about. So do go but the warmer months and early autumn are probably better as there's more going on and there are more options. We ate at Mojac's and the Pier Inn, both excellent places for evening meals. The Pier Inn is also a pub but has a separate dining area. It was nice to go in pubs and for them not to be crowded but they do shut bang on 11pm.

    Easy access to Osborne House in East Cowes.

    Easy access to Osborne House in East Cowes. Really worth a visit! The island is very small and so one can drive round it and see lots each day.. Everywhere on the island is less than 35 minutes from Cowes (in October). Lots of good restaurants in Cowes.

    We love the Isle of Wight.

    We love the Isle of Wight. Beautiful island and I feel so safe there. We ate at The Coast which we thoroughly recommend. Tremendous atmosphere. When we didn't use our car we used a local taxi who were brilliant and never let us down.

    We enjoyed our visit although as it was the Isle of Wight...

    We enjoyed our visit although as it was the Isle of Wight Festival during our visit traffic queues and road closures were in abundance. We spent a lovely day at the Big Cat sanctuary which was fairly empty making it a good opportunity to see the cats and talk to the keepers who are all so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Great visit. There are lots of shopping facilities, great views and lovely little hamlets and places to visit around the island. The park we stayed in was peaceful but had easy access to Cowes and to the ferry port. Friendly people and we enjoyed great weather.

    Lovely little B&B place close to the centre of Cowes. Parking outside, lovely room with big windows, spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. Breakfast was delicious! Hot and cold options served overlooking the garden. Paula is a marvellous host, going above and beyond to make our stay comfortable including giving us a lift into town in the rain and sending back a forgotten charger free of charge. One of the very best B&Bs we have ever stayed in, we loved it!!

    We booked the Fat Badger Chalet for a one night stay and it was fantastic. Melissa and Jonathan were so lovely and friendly (and their dogs Magnus and Coco). The chalet was really clean and comfortable with en-suite bathroom, really good value and so close to Cowes town centre, a short 5 minute walk through a park. Breakfast on our own terrace was delicious and freshly cooked. We would highly recommend staying here and hope to come again soon!

    Sunny and warm. Great location. Staff friendly and supportive. The living room contains the queen size bed as well the sofa(bed). The room is of decent size although it got a bit cramped once the sofa bed was laid out. The kitchenette is a separate room which I prefer. The apartment is on the Cowes high street and there is a taxi rank and bus stop right behind the apartment. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

    This accommodation was really good! It was perfect for what we wanted. The location was perfect - quiet and easily accessible from around the island. Clean, tidy with wonderful hosts, a lovely sea view and plenty of space. Mary even made sure we had a high chair for our little one! We had such a lovely time - we will return!

    Situated in the heart of Cowes, literally just a few steps away from one of the main passenger and cycle ferries between the Isle of Wight and the mainland. Great food served at the pub. Bedrooms spacious. Excellent value for money (£54 paid at the very start of the season at Easter).

    In a country location close to Cowes and near many Isle of Wight attractions. You will need a car but the parking is provided. Directions on SatNav are incorrect but owners will provide correct directions.
