Beautiful Birthday Trip

My husband wanted to take me to Newport for my birthday and chose the Cliffside Inn. It was a wonderful trip! Staff was more than helpful and did everything possible to make every guest feel special. The food at breakfast as well as the lovely wine and snacks at 5pm were perfect.
