Where to begin. This place is just fantastic.The room was great with everything you could want and more. We both got a very relaxing and wonderful nights sleep. Breakfast was spot on but probably the best part of all were the hosts David and Agnes. They made us feel like we were at home and their only interest was to make sure our stay was excellent. We will return to the IOW and this is where we want to stay without a doubt.

This really is a lovely little bed and breakfast !!! Excellent service; rooms spacious clean and very well equipped with everything you need and more. Cupboard space a plenty; shower room fridge milk coffee kettle coffee machine fan and all you require. Breakfast Excellent to get you on your journey; but most of all Agnes the proprietor is a warm welcoming friendly and can't do enough for you. This place you may well overlook when searching for a b&b due to location; just don't its well worth the stay. Close to town and bus links 10/10.

Very welcoming hosts. Excellent breakfast with good portions, selection & quality. Our room was very clean and of good size. The only down side was the size of the bathroom. It had a shower, toilet & basin but you had to reach over the toilet to use the basin. This room was very small. Don't know if all the rooms are like it but we stayed in No.2. Tea/coffee making facilities provided, even a fridge with orange juice, milk and cold water in plus a packet of biscuits. Hair dryer provided and lovely fluffy towels changed whenever you need them. The size and quality of the bed is brilliant. So comfortable. Television in room and even a fan. Please note that there is a main road outside the property which is very noisy. We are not used to this so it did disturb our sleep a lot. We also sleep with the windows open so heard it even more than if you kept the windows closed. A good quality fan is provided in each room so you could use it if you get hot but don't want to open the windows. We still had a lovely few days and thank Agnes and David for making us feel so welcome.

Ponders end was emmaculately clean with comfy beds and a lovely breakfast. Although a little noisy from the nearby busy road once the windows were closed couldn't hear a thing. The hosts Agnes and David were very warm and welcoming. Perfect ?

We have recently stayed at Ponders End for the August bank holiday scooter rally.We booked 3 rooms between the 4 of us and were met by Agnes.Shes a lovely woman that showed us around and told us to treat the place like home .Her husband David was there also throughout our stay and made us very welcome and told us of the local area around Ponders End.Nothing was too much for them in helping us enjoy our stay to the full.We were given free run of the house and came and went as we pleased to and from our rooms which had fridges with fresh orange juice,ice cold water,2 pints of milk in each fridge and biscuits as well as tea and coffee{in pots},not just your regular sachets.The rooms were very clean and airy as was the immaculate bedding and towels.Washing/shower facilities were very good as everything you needed was supplied along with a full english breakfast {not a tight one either}.plenty on the plate cooked by Agnes and David and served by David..followed by fruit salad{5-6 different sliced fruits on a plate}.Cerials were plentiful.We usually stay in central Newport and Ponders End was just outside this area but buses were less than 100 yards from the house.I just would like to apologise for my mate Marks snoring during our stay lol.Thanks very much to both of our hosts for looking after us.

We can only repeat what previous reviewers have said of the excellent room, breakfast and service generally. As a native Islander like David (Caulkheads) returning for a brief holiday break it was a particular pleasure to reminisce old times and places with him.We will return.

Very attentive hosts, the accommodation is clean, tidy and very comfortable with a very nice breakfast and in a great location. A home away from home!

Cosy and friendly stay in a family house. Lovely room and freshly prepared breakfast.
This was my second visit to Ponders End. This trip was even better than last time (and that was very enjoyable). I already miss having my breakfast chat with Agnes and the cricket updates from David (the T20 World Cup was happening). All I can say is - comfortable room - handy location and beautiful people. Going back soon. ??

I booked Ponders End for a work trip which my other half was joining me on so we turned it into a weekend getaway. David and Agnes are fantastic hosts who make you feel really at home. David has grown up in the area and has loads of local knowledge, including scenic routes to places and information about local history. Agnes makes a super cooked breakfast which really sets you up for the day, and goes the extra mile to make sure you have all you need during your stay. The room was lovely; really spacious and light, and complete with all the amenities you would need. The shower had really good pressure - amazing! The location is a leisurely walk from Newport town centre and, being in the middle of the Isle, is a short drive to all of the local attractions. We are so glad that we chose Ponders End and hope to visit again!

We stayed here for 4 nights for my husbands birthday. Agnes and David are great hosts and made us feel so welcome. The room was a lovely size and the bed was a huge king size and we had the best sleep. They had thought of everything in the room with tea, coffee and even some biscuits. Along with shampoo and shower gel. It was a lovely clean place and Agnes made the best breakfast which was plentiful. We would highly recommend ponders end, if we ever return we would be staying here again. Thank you both for a lovely stay!!
