Travelling to the Isle of Wight with your four-legged friend? The Fountain Inn is happy to accommodate well-behaved dogs - just make sure you pre-book in advance by calling 0345 608 6040 as there are limited dog-friendly rooms. The Fountain Inn additionally offers free Wi-Fi to help you stay connected, plus it's in a handy location near the ferry terminal so you can arrive as a foot passenger or by car.

As well as being a great jumping-off point for exploring the rest of the island, Cowes is a destination in its own right. Pretty Cowes Seafront is less than a mile from the hotel and boasts shops, dining venues, and stunning Solent vistas. Cowes is a famous sailing hub, with its annual regatta in August attracting hundreds of visitors. You'll also uncover many historical attractions, from the Cowes Maritime Museum to nearby Osbourne House - the much-loved holiday home of Queen Victoria.
