If you are looking for a quaint, clean place to stay - just outside of Newport, This is a great location. Steve and JoAnn were wonderful hosts and made sure to add those special touches - like a snack basket, local homemade soap, coffee and tea varieties and even a birthday balloon for my boyfriend. It was a short walk to the little village of Wickford, and we enjoyed dinner outside and by the water. It was a very reasonable drive into Newport, so we were able to do our sightseeing, and then come back to the peaceful "cottage" for a reprieve before dinner. If we had chosen to "stay in", the grocery stores were in close proximity and at the "cottage" there were "all the tools" and appliances to make dinner I would definitely recommend this location and we hope to get back to the area in the near future, and will do our best to see if we can stay here again.
