Kate is the most amazing hostess! The check in was seamless, the house is unique and one of a kind! Vintage galore!!! The bed was quite comfortable and the pillow was better than my own at home. The garden area is darling as well. We were able to walk everywhere its in a safe and quiet area. Kare went above and beyond in the hospitality department... she was so kind to give us a local tour and drove us in the rain to lunch. Newport is such a special place and staying here made it that much better. It is an older house with charms to be expected but whistling clean. I highly recommend the Birdcage and so looking forward to a longer stay with Kate and her sweet puppy Lola!
