Lorraine was a welcoming and helpful host. We had booked a specific room, but another room was available when we arrived and we chose to use that one. It was a huge room, with an enormous bed, and furnishings that were entirely appropriate for the setting. The house is very well located for a visit to Newport, being in the midst of the mansions area, and close to shops and both sides of the island. Off street parking was a bonus, as was the availability of coffee in the entrance/lounge area. I would thoroughly recommend this as a great place to stay if you are visiting Newport.
