What Our B&B Customers Say
"My husband and I stayed at this wonderful B&B for a beautiful fall weekend in Newport. We were blown away by Joanna's hospitality...over and over she went above and beyond for us (and she is a great cook!). The house is a gem, with three hundred years of history under its eaves. The location can't be beat--it's right near the water, a stone's throw from the downtown area and all the shops and restaurants. It's also right across from the shipyard where you can gape at the making of billionaire's yachts.I can't imagine staying anywhere else when we return to Newport."
