Wheatsheaf Hotel

Walking into the Wheatsheaf on a cold January afternoon we were met by a blazing log fire, a happy buzz in the bar, and a warm welcome from staff. Bags whisked up to our room, then a drink at the bar by the warm fire. All the staff were friendly, helpful and kind and any special requests were immediately dealt with. There's a good range of dishes to choose ranging from pizzas to pub classics to a changing specials board. 10% off mains if you are a hotel guest. It's a cosy and relaxing place to sit for the evening, and the log fire is regularly replenished, and burns from morning till closing time. Breakfast included with a varied menu from full English, half-size full English and various permutations including bacon sandwiches. Unlimited tea and coffee. All good value and a real home from home feel. If you prefer not to stay in impersonal chain hotels, this is the place to be.

Great old pub in the heart of town. Great atmosphere and very traditional. Accommodation upstairs is cosy and clean. Rooms are heated well. The breakfasts are delicious! Very lovely family run pub with very friendly and accommodating staff. Our stay was fun. The pub was buzzing with people.

Wanted to try it since it has changed management. Food ok, service slow considering it wasn't busy. The outside needs a good tidy up, used to be more welcoming from the outside now it looks run down with rubbish, too many sign boards and a god awful plastic flower arrangement around the door. Takes two minutes to sweep out the front around the door.

Popped in for hot meal prior to ferry crossing.. excellent food , friendly cosy pub and excellent bar staff. Would recommend. Prompt food service and a good variety of dishes pub clean good location and help staff . Good local facility.do use it

This quaint little hotel situated in the heart of Newport is ideally located for transport links to the whole of the island, being a 5 minute walk to the bus station. Rooms very clean and beds very comfortable. Very quiet considering its in the middle of a town. Breakfast is excellent. Highly recommend Papa P's which is part of the hotel, for pizza. On site is pub is lovely and homely. Staff very helpful All in all highly recommend.

Went for a first-time lunch visit since The Wheatsheaf had re-opened and was disappointed. Lovely lady behind the bar but it took ages for anyone to see me waiting to order. When a guy came over his demeanour was not of someone who was happy to serve. I believe he greeted me with ‘Yes?’ I should have answered ‘No’ and walked out but my companion was very hungry so I placed our order (simple pub food, what we were looking for)and waited. And waited. And waited. For nearly 40 minutes. It was like the Marie Celeste, I had to hunt for someone (Mr I Don’t Want To Be Here) to see if we had much longer to wait. There was only one other table of 4 people being served, so it was hardly busy. The food arrived and was adequate rather than really enjoyable. I went to pay but when given the bill had to point out that our drinks hadn’t been charged for (I might be having a moan but I am honest - there was no appreciation for my honesty or saving his neck!) Not tipping never sits right with me but I felt completely comfortable about not tipping Mr I Don’t Want To Be Here - a smile would have done it. Sadly, we won’t be going back or recommending. I say ‘sadly’ as it’s a lovely ancient pub and has always been so much part of the history of Newport. It just seems a slightly scruffy old boozer now ☹️
