Stayed for a cold winter weekend in February to get away. This is one of those reviews I hesitate…read moreto write because I don't want to let the cat out of the bag but we had a great experience. There are surely some nice places to stay in Newport but we wanted something a bit more eclectic and unique/boutique. When we saw the pictures of the decor and that each room was decorated uniquely, we were sold. We learned when we arrived that this is operated almost like a bed and breakfast with Will and his partner as the hosts. Check-in is available until 8 p.m. and the hosts live on property and can texted or called with any needs after hours. Each morning a cold gourmet breakfast is provided with takeaway items. Everything is homemade and unique. There are no hot items such as breakfast sandwiches but you'll find poached pears, chia seed pudding, fruit cup, hard boiled eggs, etc. The breakfast items were a bit more sugar-centered than we normally eat, it was a nice treat/calorie splurge. The room was spotlessly clean, as were the common areas. Hand sanitizer was located throughout the hotel and most guests wore masks. Little touches like free bottled water, french presses and coffee, and open cabinets for glasswear. They also had a wine hour with free glasses of wine. There is a big stone firepit with chairs which they will turn on when you want to use it. This was nice for a cigar and a glass of wine in the cold. We stayed in the St. George Suite on the 3rd floor. It had some funky purple wallpaper and a mini-library/gas fireplace in the small sitting room area. It felt hip and eclectic and fun. The windows had water views in the distance which was nice. The room also had a Tivoli radio (unfortunately bluetooth connection was impossible) and a wall mounted tv. A skylight above the bed was nice but ensured an early morning wakeup as there was no way we could find to close it. The bathroom shower was amazing. It was literally almost the size of our bedroom with 3 showerheads and a little thing with jets. It had a skylight so lots of natural light and a small bench. The white marble was classy and the water temperature was good. We loved the shower! The only thing we did not like about the bathroom is that it was right next to the bed which could potentially make things awkward soundwise. The doors on the rooms also did not to much to protect the sounds. We could hear others' conversations clearly and were all 'treated' to quite the 2 a.m. lovemaking performance by our hallway neighbors. That was really the only fault we could find with our stay. Overall, if you are looking for unique and classy, this is a great place to stay. The design elements are unique, the hosts are friendly and thoughtful and it's very comfortable and clean. It's one street's walking distance of the famous Cliffwalk (bring a mask, even though outdoors people wear masks in RI). You can drive or uber to downtown quickly and there are a few restaurants that are walkable. I also will commend the property for not charging the ridiculous 'resort fees' or parking fees that many properties charge. I'd rather know the total price upfront vs. being charged $30 for wifi and newspapers and am glad this hotel doesn't do the resort fee nonsense.

It blew our minds that an inn could be so well located and yet so tranquil. So cozy (not in the…read more"small" sense Realtors use, I mean cozy like hygge) and yet so pretty. So welcoming and yet so unintrusive. So safe but so . . . nifty! We stayed in the Courtyard Suite and found it to be just lovely. Slept wonderfully. All the staff we encountered were welcoming far beyond what mere professionalism required (everyone, but particularly thinking of Glenn, Sue, Brenda, Toby and Liz) - I always felt as welcome at the Francis Malbone House as I did at my grandmother's when I was a kid. Breakfasts and teas were terrific. The indoor and outdoor spaces are beautiful, tasteful and interesting. We absolutely look forward to returning.

That being said, this was a good place to stay in Newport, very centrally located, and really allowed us to walk to almost everything. Our room was good & we had a little porch/deck right outside the room, so we could sit outside when we got back in our own private little space. Breakfast was very good. Here's one little nugget that we learned from talking to the locals... they don't go to the harbor area, they stick either to Thames or the Broadway area. Did the Rough Point tour & the Cliff Walk... beautiful!

Parking is tight and there's no on-street parking on the street where Town and Tide is located; there is street parking on adjacent side streets. When we arrived, we were greeted with great warmth in the main house dining room. We were shown how to access the main house when the doors are locked and then shown to our room in the Garden House. Our hostess took time to make sure we understood the locking system and explained the entire property. There is a she-shed off the garden area where there's a couch and comfy chairs, a refrigerator for guests' use, some wine glasses, and they serve hot cocoa here in the evening. We unfortunately missed the hot cocoa bar because we had scheduled plans, but did check it out on our return later that night. A beautiful set up that's very welcoming. Our room was on the first floor. Plenty of heat in the bathroom and the bedroom was comfortable. The guests above us were a little noisy late at night, but that's probably just wood floors not buffering sounds. I slept well in that comfortable king bed. Breakfast was in the dining room in the main building, served 8-10 am. Before arrival, you let them know of any dietary restrictions. They have a set meal they serve--that day, its was blueberry French toast casserole with bacon, and it was superb. There's also coffee and tea that guests can help themselves to at any time, plus juices, yogurt, and granola. A bowl of delectable fruit topped it all off. Everything was amazing. At check-out, you simply lock the door behind you and leave. We were very happy with our stay and will return, hopefully when the weather is warmer so we can enjoy the gardens.

We've been to quite a few B&Bs and we loved the hospitality, cleanliness & location of this place!…read moreLoved that they allowed guests to store some leftovers in the fridge upstairs with a microwave to heat it up later. Always fresh water available with coffee, tea, hot chocolate & some biscotti. The ONLY issues we've had with this place was we did find some 2 small hair strands in the shower, but overall, the room was still clean. Showering did make us a LITTLE uncomfortable since there wasn't any curtain or covering on top of the window in the bathroom for privacy since we could see the upstairs window of the house next door, hopefully no one was in that house while we stayed since there was construction being done on that house during the day, so I'm assuming the house was currently unoccupied but even when we ONLY had the shower lights on to shower you could still see straight out the window right at that window next door, so if there was someone home they can definitely get "a show" from our shower. Haha. So I HOPE they put a curtain on top for peace of mind for the guests, once the house next door will be occupied. (See pic of bathroom window). Also sometimes guests don't drive & have to take a train in and pack light (we won't always fit umbrellas) so when it rains... if more than just 2 umbrellas could be available for the guests in case it rains, that would be great and that would show extra care. Actually have 2 umbrellas in each room, would be even better because we thought the 2 umbrellas outside the 1st floor room were the guests' umbrellas. Aside from those little things, we'd definitely visit again and stay here, the decent pricing also made us choose this place over the other choices, by the way!

Mid afternoon make sure to grab a cookie, and don't miss the complementary wine and cheese at 5:00pm!

Very unimpressed and will NOT go back there…read more Cons: 1. The AC unit is our room was terrible. 1960 version type of AC and it blew all the cool air straight on to our bed in room 31 and didn't see any one to there to solve it. It made my wife sick and the type of moisture air that it was blowing out was humid type of air that didn't seem healthy. Plus it was super LOUD and would go off and on every minute. Made for an absolutely miserable experience and fortunately we were there just one night. 2. The room we had was on the third floor and the stairs were suuuuuper steep and dangerous. I am not an expert but it wouldn't surprise me if this is a violation of ADA requirements but I am not sure. 3. The tv was too small given the distance from the bed / sofa. 4. The breakfast was "ok". French toast was ok but terrible cheap syrup, and the bacon was one of the worst cheap bacon. Took one bite and said, yuck. 5. The cost for the value felt like it was super overpriced. Pros: 1. The person that checked us in was nice and the person servicing breakfast were nice.

The breakfast was simple but solid, the room was very large and tastefully decorated with a king size bed which was very comfortable. The bath robes in the room were a nice touch. We didn't have one of the rooms with a jacuzzi but if you get one of those you'll probably have lots of fun.W did however have a bath which was small but has jets. The house has many excellent restaurants and cafes in walking distance. You can also walk to the mansions if you're in good shape (we did and it was a beautiful walk). I'd strongly recommend this B&B, especially off season when you can get very reasonably priced rooms, and there is still lots to do in town.
