New
Holmwood
There is a new look to the Best Western New Holmwood Hotel in
Cowes for the new summer season.
Over the past few months the hotel, which
stands on Queens Road, Egypt Point, has
undergone an extensive upgrading programme.
The three lounges, dining area and reception,
along with all the bedrooms, have been
redecorated and fully complement the
spectacular views of The Solent that the New
Holmwood enjoys.
Hotel business director David Titley moved
to the Island from the Midlands to take charge
of the hotel nearly 20 years ago, and he now
runs the establishment with his partner Kathy
Soteriou, the restaurant manager, and Cheryl
Hickey, the Front of House manager.
David said: “We have 26 bedrooms, including
three which we describe as deluxe with
magnificent views on The Solent, and another
suite which we use as the bridal suite. There is
also a family suite, and of course all our rooms
are en suite. Each room has been decorated and
upgraded over the last three years, with many
of them only just completed in time for this
summer season.”
The hotel has an expansive conference
room, along with a smaller conference
room which was built only last year. That
