Kate and Richard are wonderful and interesting hosts, not only is their B&B property older than Osbourne House, it is as warm and welcoming as they are.  If you have a sailing background, then you will enjoy their memorabilia and stories.  Kate is ever helpful with information pre our visit as well as when we arrived.  Richard is super charming.  We loved it and would definitely go back for longer.  Good luck to both of you!

Super location, exceptional hospitality

On our rainy and early arrival we were welcomed by Richard and Kate into their beautiful home.
Their easy way in this beautiful house made for our perfect night away... The drawing room with the view of the marina and Solent was so appreciated and full of memorabilia with a nod to music and boating.. After a lovely nights sleep and everything we needed in our room, breakfast in the kitchen with our hosts and lovely dogs was superb... 
Thank you both so much for sharing your home Speed King Richard and beautiful artist Kate ... we will be back...X 

Truly Wonderful..! 

Thank you TripAdvisor, and all the folk who write reviews, for helping us find such a gem of a place. Most of all, thank you, Kate and Richard, for sharing your wonderful home and looking after us so wonderfully. We had planned to sail over from Chichester Harbour and moor for the night at a local marina and stay at Westbourne House, as close to walk to Shepards Wharf, Cowes Harbour Services, who were also very helpful in replying to our request for a night’s mooring (5* to them too as the other marina never got back to us). Sadly, the weather changed very close to the weekend when we had already booked, to very bad and so we decided not to sail, but to take the ferry over with our car and stay on the Isle of Wight anyway, as friends told us that there is a lot to see – how right they are!
Before the stay, all my queries were answered very quickly by Kate. I am very noise sensitive, so I asked to have a quiet room. Kate explained about the rooms and in fact- despite her concerns about noisy people leaving pubs late at night, it was incredibly quiet – and I am fussy about noise.
 I can only repeat what the other reviewers have said about how VERY wonderful your hosts would be, if you are lucky enough to stay here. Kate and Richard heard of our change of plan and that we would now have a car rather than walking from Shepards Wharf - all the communication was rapid and clear and excellent. They managed to get us a free car park space right opposite the house- free as we arrived at 5.30pm and you get half an hour free and then after 6 pm on Saturday, it is continually free for the weekend.
When we walked in, we were made to feel so very welcome. I have read what other reviewers say about the dogs. As both my husband and I are doctors, and I am a bit OCD about hygiene and I am also allergic to dog hair, I was initially a bit concerned. No need to be. It is immaculate, almost surgically clean (husband is a surgeon) and the dogs are well behaved and no sign of anything doggy. It was a great relief and would certainly not stop me returning (as we can’t wait to do), nor should the presence of dogs stop anyone from staying here.
The views are outstanding onto the Solent and the drawing room for visitors is a wonderful place to enjoy the views from. Kate’s artwork is fantastic and adorns their lovely home. I really want to take my husband to one of her exhibitions to buy a piece, once he has retired.
I sleep poorly unless it is quiet and I have a comfortable mattress, as I have arthritis in my shoulders that are easily dislocated. The mattress was so good that I slept really well.
Kate recommended Mojac’s (see review) which was an excellent place to eat and easy walking distance.
The homemade biscuits in the room were a lovely touch. Sadly, only caffeinated tea and coffee sachets- and as doctors, we only have decaffeinated. The breakfast the next morning was so delicious. We met other guests at breakfast, who told us about their visit to the zoo- more of a conservation place than a zoo (see review)- so we changed our plans. Breakfast was so relaxing as well as scrummy – we were not rushed at all. It set us up for the day- we didn’t need to eat again until the evening, just before we got on the ferry in the late evening.
All I can say is that if you want a B&B on the Isle of Wight- this is the BEST!

Must be the B&B on the Isle of Wight

We had a wonderful stay at Westbourne House during Cowes week. The most perfect 10 night stay. We were looked after impeccably. We were welcomed with drinks, most comfortable bed, flowing hot water, absolutely delicious breakfast was all the trimmings, home made cookies and room serviced every day - fresh towels and sheets when required. - I was able to also sit outside at breakfast and watch the boats floating in and out and the birds busy with their morning song. We love the dogs and were made to feel part of the family and could come and go with ease. Thank you so much and we look forward to returning again! - Juliet & Murray.

An absolute Crown Jewel

A beautiful place to stay, a delicious breakfast. Great hospitality! You feel very welcome by Kate and Richard! 
You can discover the island by bus. The west coast is beautiful. In Cowes West you find a lot of nice restaurants. The coast and the grill are one of them.
