Super Friendly and accomodating staff. They took time to guide us in finding great dinning and other hidden gems. The historic charm of the properties and our room were something really unique and charming. We will definitely stay again when we return to Newport.

nice place to stay very typical of the newport old houses. They manage to keep the spirit of the place without being too rustic too old.
