The Fountain Inn, Cowes

"Cowes", reported Mason's Guide to the Isle of Wight, 1876, "the principal station of the Royal Yacht Club... has an air of business as well as pleasure, not to be met within every watering place. There is a commodious landing place at the back of the Fountain Hotel. The Marine Parade... is a delightful and fashionable promenade, commanding a view of the entrance of the harbour, the Roadstead, the Solent, Calshot Castle, Southampton Water, and the opposite shore."

Today, the Fountain, a traditional period inn in the heart of Cowes, is still doing brisk business, and is an ideal haven for yachting enthusiasts, business people and holiday makers.
