Best Western New Holmwood Hotel

A warm comfortable and friendly seafront hotel ideal for a stay in Cowes. Great breakfast and lovely staff. There is a welcoming and well appointed bar. We had a stunning sea view room, and the beach is a couple of minutes away. less

We love this hotel. We visit when we can and always celebrate our birthdays for a night here. The pinnacle was our wedding blessing service which had been postponed twice due to Covid, but went ahead on 13th November. It was absolutely perfect. We had the whole hotel to ourselves as all our guests stayed the night. David, Cathy and staff gave their all to make sure our day was perfect and it truly was. No one could have done more. The rooms (as always) spotless and well appointed. The food out of this world. Considering there were 55 guests during the day for the lunch it was hot, wonderful and served with the usual professionalism. And of course, it took place in the conservatory overlooking the sea; perfect! The evening buffet was ample (everyone remarked on this). We love this hotel for a reason and that reason is that we are welcomed as family rather than just paying guests. Every member staff, whatever role they are in, go out of their way to make a guest's stay memorable. We couldn't recommend anywhere else if you are around the Cowes area. Thanks again, David Cathy and staff for making sure our special day will live in our memory forever. Nora and Mike less

Good hotel, clean and well kept with really great staff all round. The food was excellent and offered some different combinations from run of the mill. There is parking at the hotel but parking anywhere else in Cowes was expensive but the town centre was withing walking distance. less

Situated in West Cowes the hotel is a short walk along the sea front to the retail and restaurant area.. Being out of season the town was quiet and not all the restaurants are open. Whilst we did not eat in at night the menu looked good and were it not for us wanting to go out we would have given it a try. We had a standard room and could see the sea. The room was well provided for and had a comfortable bed. Everyone we met made us feel very welcome. Parking was no problem. less

I was speaking at a dinner to be held at the New Holmwood, and living in East Anglia, decided to stay for a few extra days. What a great decision that proved to be! Our room was spacious and comfortable, and with a view of the Solent over to the mainland. The staff were friendly, and yet professional. The whole place had the sort of warmth one gets from a family-run hotel, and yet there was the professionalism of a wider group. The restaurant was one of the best we have been to - and we have been to a lot. The choice and quality, at breakfast, lunch and dinner, was unforgettable. We hope to return to the Isle of Wight, and if we do so, there will only be one place we would consider staying - the New Holmwood Hotel. less
