I have not been to Cowes for a couple of years but was so unimpressed with Yacht Haven facilities last time that I decided to try the less convenient facilities of East Cowes Marina. Despite coinciding with the busy Festival weekend their bogs/showers were immaculate on Friday and still ok by Sunday. Organisation, booking and berthing arrangements first class.
The Lifeboat pub was excellent. Food super, prices reasonable, service great. A clean, well run establishment. I understand that it has been recently refurbished and is under new ownership. Highly recommended.
In contrast happened into a place called The Waterside in Cowes Saturday lunchtime. An absolute shambles.
Top prices being charged for sandwiches, as you would expect , given the touristy location. We waited over an hour for sandwiches that never appeared before getting a refund and leaving. We were not the only ones. Maybe we had a lucky
escape. The whole place was a bit sticky and nasty. Give it a wide berth.
