The Birdhouse is a simple, warm, and comfortable space. The porch was a serene area to chill out and reflect. I felt like I was staying with a friend! Kate is a hospitable and attentive host and provided lots of great information on what to do in Newport and eateries to check out! The location and price really couldn't be better in my opinion. There is a grocery store in walking distance around the corner as well as Cru cafe, recommended by Kate, and is a great place for breakfast. I walked back and forth to Thames street and the Cliff Walk each day. Anything you need is within walking distance. Check in and out was super easy. This is the only place I will stay when visiting Newport in the future!
