    My husband and I just returned from a lovely and relaxing long week end away staying at Hawthorne…read moreHouse in Newport, RI and we could not have made a better choice! The rooms were comfortable and so clean and location was the best. We could walk to town and Belleview Ave, and parking being what it is in Newport, this was such a great treat. The hosts, Terri & Michael were gracious and kind and so accommodating, it was like being welcomed into an old friends home. Fresh baked goodies were waiting for us upon arrival and special treats just appeared during our stay, making the trip even more memorable. They had the kitchenette so well stocked, everything you could possibly need for a light breakfast at home before setting off to explore Newport for the day. I have stayed many times in Newport in the past, but this was by far my favorite spot and can't wait to book with Terri & Michael again and spend some more time at their charming Hawthorne House.

Although Hurricane Sandy delayed our arrival, shortening our stay, accommodations for the sudden change in plans were made. Hawthorne House is nestled in a quiet neighborhood, close to historic downtown Newport and the mansion district, and we found the atmosphere relaxing, the accommodations comfortable, and the hospitality genuine. Terri greeted us at the door upon our arrival and throughout our stay made sure we had everything we needed to make us feel welcome and comfortable, including fresh baked banana bread and homemade chocolate chip and raisin/oatmeal cookies. She kept the refrigerator stocked with a variety of beverages and coffee, tea, and hot chocolate were also available for fresh brewing in the kitchenette. We felt perfectly at home during our stay and even more so when, on late nights out, came back to find the porch and foyer lights on, awaiting our return. We recommend Hawthorne House and the Fitch's kind hospitality to anyone visiting Newport or the surrounding areas.

Location is impressively close to the harbour and shops. The house itself is very beautiful. It has several unique guest rooms located upstairs away from the common and private areas. The landlord (Rusty) was very polite and helpful. We were 2 people in the Blue Room. It is nicely decorated in a traditional way and has a private bathroom with modern fixtures. It is very comfortable, and was pleasant at all times without air conditioning. It is in a quiet area so we were able to keep windows open all night and enjoy the fresh air. The continental style breakfasts (coffee, pastry/bread and fruit) were just right to get us going for the day. There is a small fridge in a common area to put your drinks or small items. There are both indoor (screened sun room) and outdoor sitting areas to enjoy your drink at any time, including late evenings after a day out on the town. Parking was provided and there were no hidden costs. We hope to return here some day.

    The Preservation Society of Newport County is a non-profit organization based in Newport, Rhode…read moreIsland and its top priority is the preservation and conservation of its historic houses and their collections. This work includes restoration of roofs and windows, conservation of fragile textiles, cleaning and restoration of valuable paintings and much more. At any given time, dozens of projects are underway. A visit to the Newport Mansions is a donation to The Preservation Society of Newport County. During the holiday season, The Breakers, Marble House, and The Elms welcome visitors with spectacular holiday displays so it was a great opportunity to visit. In addition to the house holiday display, there is an outdoor holiday display called Sparkling Lights at The Breakers from November 22 to December 29, 2024 on select evenings. Admission is only at 4 pm, 4:30 pm, 5 pm, 5:30 pm and 6 pm. Gates close at 6:30 pm and the house and grounds close at 8 pm. Timed admissions tickets can be purchased online at https://www.newportmansions.org/. Tickets include access to the lavishly decorated rooms inside the house during the same visit. About a week prior, I bought 2 tickets for December 20, 2024 at 6:00PM ($40.00 each) and I was really looking forward to it. However, there was a winter advisory and it was snowing on the day of. Driving conditions were unsafe. I was worried I was going to lose my money since the website indicated tickets may not be resold, non-transferrable, non-refundable, and cannot be used for a different date. I tried calling the Preservation Society of Newport County, but there were just prompts and I couldn't talk to a live person. I sent a direct message to @newport.mansions through Instagram and they responded promptly that I could receive a refund by emailing info@newportmansions.org. Gary Ruff, Associate Communications Manager, responded and instructed me with what information he needed to provide the refund. I was so appreciative. Thankfully, the snow cleared and temperature warmed up a bit so I bought 2 tickets for December 29, 2024 at 4:00PM ($40.00 each). All the decorated Christmas trees, the 15-foot-tall poinsettia tree, poinsettias, garlands, wreaths and fresh floral in the interior of The Breakers were beautiful and then walking through the lights and illuminated displays of the outdoor 13-acre landscape was just a cherry on the top. The Preservation Society of Newport County also partnered with Stoneacre Brasserie to offer holiday treats and adult beverages. Thank you to The Preservation Society of Newport County for everything you are doing to protect, preserve, and present an exceptional collection of house museums and landscapes.

    The family (wife, 10 y/o son, 2 y/o daughter) were visiting Newport and looking fo some activities…read moreto do. I noticed that the Newport mansions were on every to-do list, with the Breakers being the top choice of many. I looked at their website as well as other reviews and saw that this may not be the best place for younger ones. I saw that no strollers were allowed and I didn't think a tour of an old mansion is something my 10 y/o would be interested in. So I decided to take a solo trip on a nice Friday morning while the rest of the family slept in late at the hotel. The Breakers opens at 10 AM. The visitors parking lot is on the corner of Ochre Point Avenue and Victoria Avenue. There are other lots nearby but read the signs as they are for other buildings...The parking lot had adequate space when I arrived at 10:15 or so, but by the time I was leaving at about 11:45 is was pretty packed with visitors having to park in the rear overflow lot. Once you reach the front gate of the Breakers mansion, there are COVID restriction and general rule signs. As you proceed you can go to the left to buy tickets, use the bathroom or enter their cafe. Tickets are about $26 for adults and $8 for children 6-17 years old. The cafe has a bunch of premade food items, drinks, snacks, premade sandwiches... and few seats with tables. There are some more seats and table just outside of the cafe. Before you enter the mansion, there are signs showing you how to use their self tour audio app. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DOING THIS...AND BRING HEADPHONES. You download the Newport Mansions app from the App Store onto your Apple or Google device, select the mansion you are visiting and begin the tour. The audio tour was excellent and follows you through the tour route of the mansion. I enjoyed listening to all the interesting facts about each room via bluetooth earbuds while my hands were free to take photos with my camera. You only thing you will need to do is to advance (click the play button) the tour to the next room before entering. There are some interesting facts about the mansion as a whole and each individual room. You can also stay around longer in each area for additional facts, essentially lengthening the tour. Without the audio tour, you will have to fread the printed information sheet. You go through the main floor, upper floor and back down into the service area where the kitchen is. You then exit through the gift shop. The gift shop has lots of interesting items, which includes typical magnets, mugs and prints, but they also have some luxury items like platters and wine stoppers as well as a small jewelry section. You finally exit out onto the side of the mansion and are able to walk back around outside to the front where you entered. Before sure to walk through the opened gate to the right of the mansion which takes you through a small garden to the back. Here you can see the Cliff Walk path and the ocean. Overall, I had a great time...It was a lot more interesting than I thought it would be. The entire tour took just over an hour without listening to the extra information about each room. (During the tour, there are a few instances where you have to ascend/descend steps - I did NOT see any elevators - so you may want to call ahead to check if you cannot climb steps) Again, I highly recommend downloading the app and listening to the audio tour via headphones. It allows your eyes to focus on the beauty of the mansion instead of reading. Lastly, the mansion is right off of the Cliff Walk path...so be sure to make the short ride (or walk) north to Narragansett Avenue and visit the Forty Steps.
