With activities planned in both Providence and Newport, we chose Warren as a halfway point. But the location turned out to be far better than a compromise because both local restaurants were fantastic. Had tapas at Meriender's on Thursday night and a wonderful breakfast on Sunday at The Restaurant. The Cole House has a wonderful atmosphere of comfort and art. The well equipped kitchen made it easy for us to re-heat take out from Providence and leftovers as well as morning breakfast casserole. Minor warning to others that the stairs are steep although well lit. Due to our age and mobility issues, we had a little difficulty with suitcases. The most agile of the four of us helped carry suitcases. The local supermarket Tom's had everything we needed and then some. I am glad we decided not to stay in Providence or Newport. We very much enjoyed an evening in watching tv movies and eating take-out after a busy day in Providence. All in all, we had a great weekend. Thanks, Allison!
