Enjoyed out time in the Cliff Suite! The jetted tub was very appreciated after miles of walking along the Cliff Walk and mansions. We had wonderful sleep under the skylight, especially as it started to drizzle in the night.

Lovely B&B Inn within 15 walking distance to areas of interest. Even with the rain for our entire stay, we had a very enjoyable time. Love the gas fireplace provides heat for the room.

For this price the bedding is substandard, bed had little support, foam pillows and the sheets are bamboo or some other kind of blend.

Beautiful historic property. Lovely grounds. Comfortable, immaculate room/ bed, gorgeous common areas. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast before heading down the block to the Cliff Walk. Convenient to the cliffside mansions, an easy trip to main shopping and dining areas.

The Tower Suite is a special place. Private entrance, two floors, and a private parking space. Respectfully, my wife and I weren’t there to mingle with other guests and loved the privacy. A stones throw from cliff walk access. We covered 17 miles in 2 days on foot between the cliff walk and our strolls into downtown Newport which is roughly 3/4 mile. Our car didn’t move until we regrettably headed back to reality…

Everything was great. Quaint. Room wasn’t ready as I booked early in the morning. This would have been all 5’s, but they did not have the personnel to accommodate the room to be ready until 5PM.
