    Extraordinary, memorable weekend getaway at gorgeously reno'd historic home

    Nothing at all not to like; every details was anticipated.

    Absolutely extraordinary property and experience. We are deeply grateful to Ms. S. & Ms. J. for making a getaway weekend special and memorable for us. Ms. J.'s renovation of this house is a work to behold, and all of the delights of Newport lay an easy walk away. Our lovely hosts we're a joy to speak with, but also we engaged only so much as we wished and had plenty of privacy and space to relax and enjoy ourselves. We will recommend this property to our family when they visit in the future.

    The property was perfect for us but some visitors (possibly Americans) could be put off by the 7 minute walk to the downtown area. Being English this wasn’t a problem in any way for us though - in fact it was a benefit !

    An historic, 300 year old, building with a superb host and very comfortable and (classically) stylish room. Right opposite Goat Island Park and the bay.

    The property was excellent and very well cared for. Serina was an excellent cook as well and the breakfast was the best start to the day. The property is also located in the perfect place. Away from the foot traffic but a short walk to everything. Also directly next to a beautiful park to see the sunset behind the bridge. Definitely a gem of Newport.

    Our hosts were both charming and welcoming, knowledgeable about the historic area of Newport in which the house is located, and full of interesting local information. This historic property is close to the water and within walking distance of the centre of town, is elegantly furnished and very comfortable. Our room was large, sunny and warm despite ours being a winter visit with exceptionally cold weather (but brilliant blue skies) and our bed was super cosy with lovely white cotton bed linen. We enjoyed a delicious and generous breakfast and our hosts also treated us to unexpected and complimentary cakes and drinks, allowing us to come and go as we pleased, they were most helpful in every way. Perfect!

    I absolutely loved this property. Our accommodations were pristine, comfortable and charming! The location was perfect. Across the street was a small waterfront park with the view of the Jamestown Bridge. We were able to easily walk to many restaurants and shops. Our hostess was delightful and most helpful! Each evening when we arrived home from dinner a delightful treat of fruit and sweets were by our door. I can hardly wait to visit again!

    Nothing! We really enjoyed our stay and recommended this place to our family and friends.

    Clean and beautiful room with a view of the sunset overlooking the water and Goat Island. The house is very charming and the garden is lovely. This accommodation is ideal for a getaway that makes you feel like you're having a unique and personalized experience instead of a generic and impersonal hotel stay. The location was great and we were provided with an off-street parking pass to park across the house. Some of best eateries and restaurants were within walking distance (Bowen's Wharf). There is a lot to discover in Newport and our hosts Sarina and Joanna were very hospitable and helpful in providing restaurant and sightseeing recommendations. This gave us an opportunity to make the most of our 3-day stay in Newport.
