    Beautiful and CLEAN!!! Host gave us a tour with a little history of the house and who Francis Malbone was. Chocolate covered strawberries in our room for our anniversary was such a sweet surprise. Beautiful night to walk and enjoy the Newport...

    A perfect stay for a romantic pre-holiday get-away. The inn was thoroughly festooned. The evening manager was an absolute delight. The inn is within easy walking distance of many restaurants, shops, and the harbor. Convenient parking, but be sure...
