Absolutely lovely stay. Bryan is such an amazing host and it was a pleasure to have the opportunity to stay at his beautiful home. The breakfast leaves nothing left to desire and is well proportioned. The bed was very comfortable and the room had ample space and wonderful furnishings. The location is quiet yet very walkable to many restaurants and shops. We were definitely pleased with our stay at the Sarah Kendall House.

A unique and very special property with wonderful hosts, we had a fantastic stay. Our bedroom was in the historic tower and, while full of beautiful antiques and memorabilia, was exceptionally comfortable, especially the bed. And the breakfast was generous and delicious - the table was laden with a huge variety of homemade dishes. Choose this beautiful guest house for a memorable stay in historic Newport.
