The room was very nice and the ocean view was as advertised. We only stayed one night, but if we are ever back in Newport for a longer visit, this is the place we will be looking to stay. The only minor hiccup was that the room was not ready at 4:00, but the area is nice and we walked on the Cliff Walk for a bit until the room was ready. We enjoyed the breakfast which had a good variety of choices. All in all, this is a charming location with an acomodating staff and we very much enjoyed our stay.

The Inn employees were extremely hospitable and friendly 😊 The room was lovely, and fairly quiet, even though it was the only room located on the first floor. Parking is convenient, and a short walk from the front door there is a fire pit with a sitting area on the property. We did hear some of the other guests arrive back to the Inn later at night. And with the stairs to the 2nd floor being right next to our room, the Victorian, we did hear guests bump their luggage up and down the stairs. The food that was offered for breakfast was made right there in the Inn kitchen, and was delicious! There are chairs and tables on the wrap around deck, and the weather was perfect, with a gentle breeze, for dining outside. Overall, I would say the property is exceptional, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay celebrating our wedding anniversary 😊 If I could make one suggestion, however, it would be to only allow children 12 and up to stay at the Inn. Both mornings around 8 am we could hear the children of one of the guests being very loud right outside our door. Luckily, we didn’t want to sleep in on those days!

Such an amazing Inn! Perched above the walk & the setting was so tranquil & beautiful. We spent two evenings sitting at the fire pit enjoying the peace & drinking a glass of wine (lovely afternoon wine & snacks provided!). We loved our room - the decor was stunning - so many special touches. Breakfast was also a treat! Can’t wait to come back! Truly a special place!
