We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Francis Malbone House in Newport. Every encounter with the staff was pleasant and we felt welcomed immediately. I’m not sure which was my favorite but we loved both daily tea time and the over the top fabulous breakfasts. I loved the history of the House and how it fit into the history of Newport. We loved how the house was warmly decorated for Christmas. I would love to make a stay here an annual event.

The inn is very charming and well kept. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and always checking on guests' comfort. The afternoon tea and goodies left out for guests is such a nice touch in the afternoon. Plenty of sitting space with fireplaces, books, games, glasses of wine. We loved walking out the front door to find ourselves on Thames street with boutiques and restaurants.
