Pros:

Everything was very good. It was disappointing that they no longer offer a full breakfast, but that made clear from the start so it wasn't an issue.

Great value, location and charm.
Pros:

This was our first bed and breakfast that we have been to and it did not disappoint. The location was perfect and the amenities exceeded our expectations. The owner and his employees were super friendly, which made the stay even more enjoyable. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and have everything we needed. The king bed was like sleeping on a cloud and the room was a perfect size. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Newport.

Cons:

Only thing missing is a TV, but they do provide tablets to stream shows.

would definetly stay here again. The location, staff, cleanliness, and breakfast and happy hour provided was just over
Pros:

Property was spotless clean and tidy. We were literally steps from the shops and eateries. The staff were all over the top nice and accommodating. Our room was large and bed was very comfortable. The morning breakfast was great with cooked to order eggs and beautiful display of fresh fruit, pastries, cereal etc….anything you could possibly want. Late afternoon happy hour was a very nice addition to look forward to.

Wonderful, relaxed vacation stay!
Pros:

Marshall Slocum is a wonderful bed and breakfast inn! Friendly and service oriented staff, as much privacy or social time at the location as you choose to have. Just minutes walk from the main downtown shops and cafes. The great little apartment was so comfortable we did not want to leave when it was time to go!

Pros:

After a frustrating experience at another hotel and zero support from Booking.com, we had to find a last-minute place on our own. Luckily, we came across this property — and it completely turned our trip around. Beautiful stay, perfect location, and exactly what we needed in Newport. We’ll definitely be coming back!
