We stay at the Anchor before and after the IOW festival every year . It’s near the ferry terminal close to shops etc . Lovely pub with great food . Rooms are small and clean and can be a bit noisy as above a pub but that’s to be expected . Our room this year was very hot but a fan was in the room which helped a bit.
Only complaint this year the mattresses really need replaced ,so thin in our room you could feel every slat and the pillows thin and cheap . Maybe ok for one night but after 4 nights our backs not good and would put us off staying again . We did ask if they had any Mattress toppers and were just told no.
Overall convenient , hand location clean good selection of drinks and food excellent
The staff were friendly, the room was cute and clean BUT there was noisy drilling and hammering until late at night nearby and shortly after 6am, lorries unloading for nearby Sainsbury’s and Poundland which made for a poor night’s sleep sadly
Great location in downtown Cowes and near floating bridge to E Cowes. Room up a lot of stairs. Bathtub in terrible shape - not just leaking - hemmoraging! ! Needs to be replaced.
Unique experience to stay above a bar - noise not an issue but there was no band that nite. Had almost no contact with staff. They did help me with my bag.

2 Nights at the Anchor Pub
There was no wardrobe or desk in the room
The shower was magnificent
The staff were superlative
Obviously there is no lift as it is an old building not the staff took my luggage to the room
The location is excellent
For a single male the accommodation is fine but I imagine ladies would expect more comfort
I had a wonderful stay and the staff were wonderful
Generous room well decorated. The bathroom was roomy but would have benefited from a few hooks for towels & clothing. No breakfast available and no recommendation on where to eat but we found a good option at Harbour Kitchen just down the road.
A great place to stay, right in the heart of Cowes. Great music, atmosphere and staff. All staff were friendly, helpful and a joy to be around. The room was clean and comfortable and suited its purpose. Will stay again for sure.
