The Woodvale is a friendly, clean, ambient Inn / BB and do not hesitate to book. If you enjoy being near the sea and watching the sailboats this is the spot. Clean comfortable room with hot water, TV, wireless, nicely updated. There are not many restaurants close by so you will need to eat at their friendly pub with the... More

We had researched this hotel on Tripadvisor and had looked at their website and so were quite surprised when sat nav directed us to a tired looking pub, rather than the sophisticated hotel that we expected from photos on the website. Parking is largely on the road (although it is a quiet residential road) and check-in is in the pub.... More

An excellent hotel, well appointed and fantastic views. Very friendly staff and the breakfast was ideal . Definitely recommend this hotel to others. The staff do this hotel great credit. The rooms were clean comfortable. Enjoy !

We went to a family birthday here on a friday evening.....it was packed but we had booked luckily. Most of the food is locally sourced. Carnivores are well catered for but there is a lack of vegetables with anything, and the only two veggies options a crumble or a risotto ..seemed too cheese/fat laden for me....and as all the fish...

All rooms are very well presented and spotlessly clean. Staff are fantastic! They had bought in several breakfast items to suit my dietary requirements that was well above and beyond the call. I've stayed at lots of large, 4 Starred hotels that haven't done anything like this. Furthermore, they opened breakfast 30 minutes early for me as I had to... More

4 star prices for 2/3 star service. We were asked to leave the bar and take our drinks to our bedrooms at 11.30pm on the Friday night because the staff were tired and wanted to go home. Sunday morning breakfast was served with gone off milk and although apple juice was on the menu none was available.A bit pricey at... More

We ate here several times on our holiday and every time we had a lovely meal. The staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for us. We had 3 children with us and we felt very comfortable and welcomed and even our fussy eater was catered for without any trouble. We would recommend this to anyone. Well worth a... More

We had a visit from relations who had sailed over from Portsmouth to spend a few days in Cowes. We live on the Island and therefore did not stay at the Woodvale but had an evening meal there with our visitors. The food was good and the staff were very friendly. The only downside was a door out towards the... More

This is a popular beach front pub with five well equipped en-suite bedrooms, four of which overlook the Solent. It is not some pretentious gastropub but one which prides itself on an extensive pub menu of well sourced and cooked ingredients served in generous helpings. The crab sandwiches and the breakfast sausages were particularly memorable.. The owners and all their... More
