We wanted an affordable place in Newport within walking distance of The Cliff Walk and the amazing Mansions. "The Birdhouse" fit the bill perfectly. This welcoming, happy, and quirky house is in a quiet residential neighborhood. On-street parking was convenient and easy to use. There are several restaurants within walking distance. The older house has a wonderful personality and Kate is a very pleasant host, and helpful, and we enjoyed our conversations with her. Little notes throughout the house helped us to find things (including snacks) and feel comfortable and welcome. The very clean bathroom with its old fashioned tub is shared by both of the available rooms. We also enjoyed some time in the lovely garden area.
