We stayed in a lovely apartment in the heart of Newport. The apartment is separate from the rest of the house which serves as a bed and breakfast. Yet, we were treated like B &B guests with Donna taking time to show us the apartment in detail, telling us about the community and answering questions.
The apartment was very comfortable and warmly decorated. The one minus -- which we knew in advance--was the lack of a full kitchen. We took advantage of the fridge, coffee maker etc, but would have needed more for a longer apartment stay.
Newport is a great vacation getaway. The waterfront, museums and shopping are a short walk from the house and the cliff walk, mansions, and beaches a bit of a longer walk from the apartment.
This is a perfect place for a group of friends or for a family to spend a few days on vacation. We especially enjoyed being able to sit on the patio chairs out front. And, we appreciated the friendly hosts and being able to leave our luggage for a while after checking out .
Highly recommend.
