Wonderful B&B, great location, amazing host!
Pros:

Sarina is wonderful! She gave excellent recommendations and the breakfast and snacks were delicious. I would definitely stay here again. The house is lovely and in an excellent location. It is a very short walk to everything, but still a street or two from all the hustle and bustle. It is quiet at night.

Cons:

The ONLY, and I do mean only thing we didn't like was the mirror in the bathroom. It was a little difficult to get ready in the morning.

Sarina and her Mom (our hosts) were great! Very communicative and responsive during our stay.
Pros:

The location was great as it was directly on the wharf across the street from a small park with views of the bridge. It was walkable to Thames where all of the restaurants, bars and shopping was located. It was far enough away from the main strip such that it was very quiet.

Cons:

The price was a little high for the off season and the breakfast cost was in addition to what was already paid during booking.

Pros:

Sarina and her mom we amazing hosts. They made us feel very welcomed.
Morning coffee and continental breakfast were great. The house was cozy and had old charm. The location was very good, about a 10 minute walk to the wharf and center of action. I would definitely consider another stay with them.

Amazing stay that enhanced our impression about Newport
Pros:

It is a beautiful and cozy house in 10 mins walk from the Bowens Wharf, preserving the atmosphere and beauty of a colonial period of history. The hosts Sarina and her mother were very friendly, breakfast is delicious and the little green garden at the back of the house, where I celebrated my birthday, is truly amazing. We were greatly taken care of while our stay, it was also very nice to receive complimentary cupcakes for my birthday. Highly recommend the experience of staying there, it creates a pleasant memory for life!

Cons:
