Old Church House

The location was perfect, 5 minutes walk to the bus station. My husband walked the whole of the Isle of Wight coast path and therefore used the busses each morning and afternoon, whilst I was able to use busses to explore the Island as a tourist. Our bed was comfortable and the room was clean and just about big enough with an adequate hanging rail in place of a wardrobe. There was always plenty of hot water and the shower was very good. Breakfast was excellent, and Julie was very accommodating, friendly and genuinely interested in what we were doing each day, with helpful tips for me on good cafes, galleries and shops. It was early April which meant the tourist season hadn't properly started but we were able to eat at 5 different good restaurants in Newport so we didn't need to use our car at all during our stay, which was a definite bonus.

Julie was the perfect host and welcomed us before I'd even managed to ring the doorbell. The house is beautiful and felt "Welcoming" everywhere - it just had a lovely feel about it. Parking at the rear of the property was perfect and it was an easy walk into Newport High Street with all of its shops, bars and restaurants. We had an early start on Sunday morning and it was no trouble for Julie to provide us with a superb breakfast at 7.30am - Julie you fortified us for our day rallying - we were seeded at 51 at the start and fuelled inside by your English breakfast saw us and our rally car reach the end all in one piece, being 36th overall. When we return to Newport in the future we will certainly aim to stay with you again. You really do provide a "Home from Home".

From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel welcome and comfortable. Julie was an absolute gem - her kindness and hospitality shome through in every way. The breakfasts she cooked were absolutely delicious and, it was lovely to have such a warm and inviting meal to start our day. The house itself is beautifully maintained and has a lovely atmosphere. It's clear that Julie has put a lot of thought into creating a cozy and welcoming space for her guests. But what really stood out to us was Julie's accommodating nature. She went out her way to make sure we had everything we needed and was always happy to offer helpful advice or assistance. She's a genuine person with a heart of gold and it's clear that she genuinely cares about her guests.

Julie was a fantastic host, incredibly kind and accommodating, and her accommodation was a great find on the island, comfortable, conveniently located, and with a very homely feel too (and a cat). About a seven-minute walk from the bus station in Newport, with great access to many of the island bus routes. Julie also went out of her way to make small talk with my partner, whose first language is not English - this added a lot to our stay, and was definitely appreciated. Can happily recommend Old Church House.

Julie has thought of everything needed for a comfortable stay. The room was spotless and breakfast was delicious! Julie has a very nice manner with nothing too much trouble making us feel very welcome. The location for us was perfect and we were able to walk everywhere we needed in Newport. Great parking space with plenty of room for our large car. I highly recommend Old Church House.
