“Amazing stay that enhanced our impression about Newport”
It is a beautiful and cozy house in 10 mins walk from the Bowens Wharf, preserving the atmosphere and beauty of a colonial period of history. The hosts Sarina and her mother were very friendly, breakfast is delicious and the little green garden at the back of the house, where I celebrated my birthday, is truly amazing. We were greatly taken care of while our stay, it was also very nice to receive complimentary cupcakes for my birthday. Highly recommend the experience of staying there, it creates a pleasant memory for life!

“Perfect place in historic Newport, with easy access to all the fun things it has to offer”
Everything - from the amazing hosts to the stunning historic (restored) building with all mod-cons yet perfect “historical” feel. The location is perfect - with view across the bay and bridge a yet walking distance to the Wharfs and town centre.

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.

Lovely period house but beautifully renovated. The rooms well proportioned and furnished with a lot of period pieces and artwork. The hostess Serena was very helpful and pleasant.

“Warm and generous hosts and a beautiful historic house.”
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!
