Janice and Pat were incredibly welcoming and gracious hosts.

Their lovely house is situated just a stones throw from the entrance to Cliff Walk in a very quiet and safe neighborhood. It is a very short walk to a lovely beach. It is a little over a mile to the warf areas which is a quick drive or a very charming 20 minute walk.

We were greated each morning by the smell of brewing coffee and fresh baked muffins/scones. Fresh seasonal fruit and yogurt were available as well. We enjoyed planning our day with the assistance of our lovely hostess while sitting in a lovely gourmet kitchen with a beautiful view of the ocean.

Janice offered great advice regarding places to visit, where to find the best food and local experiences. She was full of information, history and stories of the locals and the town. All of her recommondations were based on our interests and likes. And each morning she asked if there was anything we needed or wanted.

We thoroghly enjoyed visiting with Janice and Pat and they made us feel like welcomed friends. If you are looking for an experience that rivals the bed and breakfasts of Europe then this is the place. Newport is a beautiful place to visit and is rich with history. However, staying with Janice and Pat was the highlight of our visit.

If you prefer to keep to yourself and have quiet alone time, I am sure Janice would happily work toward that goal. The bed, bath and sitting areas are on a separate level from the rest of the house. It would be the perfect place for a small family, two couples or 4 friends traveling together. She has provided a small fridge, and a means to make your morning coffee should you decide to remain reclusive. There are two lovely decks off this level for evening wine, morning coffee or quiet reading.

Janice contacted me just after making the reservation and then again a few days prior to our arrival to check for any allergies, specific wants or needs. She is readily available via email, text or phone.

I cannot say enough about our stay here and if I return to Newport in the future I will be sure to book with Janice. Don't bother looking anywhere else.
