Great stay
Pros:

A great place to stay. Room was very comfortable and host was very knowledgeable about the local area and points of interest. Breakfast was pastries, fruit and yoghurts which were very tasty. There was an ‘honesty fridge’ with soft drinks, wine and beer which was great to enjoy a drink on the patio after a day in Newport. Free parking was a great bonus.

A perfect place to stay.
Pros:

An absolutely beautiful place to stay, Quiet location and room. Perfectly clean and comfortable room. Breakfast on the back deck was very pleasant. A light continental breakfast with several choices and very good coffee was a great way to start the day. The Inn is within walking distance of downtown Newport in a neighborhood of similar beautiful homes. The staff was very accommodating and provided some excellent suggestions about the area.

Inn in Newport
Pros:

The memory foam beds were wonderful. All of us reported sleeping well in comfort. The pillows worked. The place is pretty- try the porch swing in front. The two men who were inn keepers there could not have been nicer nor more obliging. The breakfast is minimal with coffee and tea and pastries and sugary yogurt. I would stay there again.

Great stay in Newport
Pros:

We love our stay during 4th of July. The location is perfect to walk around the town. We do not need a car. The room is cute and clean. There's no TV in the room which I do not mind at all and remind me of typical bed and breakfast. No noise issues. The staffs are polite and friendly. We will stay here again if we come back to Newport.

Perfect location and very comfortable room.
Pros:

Perfectly centrally located- only 15 min walk to the Cliff Walk, or 10min to the harbor. Or can take a free shuttle just 1 block from the Inn. Parking on site was very helpful. Inn was quiet and short distance away from the busy downtown. The outside deck was wonderful in the evening on a very hot day, and we enjoyed a game of cards.
