Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Bridgette's husband, Umberto. He oriented us to the cottage and gave us instructions to using the heating and pellet stove. Unfortunately for us, we visited Newport on a cold weekend. Umberto offered us extra blankets and pellets for the stove (which warmed up the place adequately, alone). Umberto gave us recommendations for places to visit and local places to eat. Everything in the cottage were functional and clean. The space fits the 2 of us and our 2 pups well. Definitely recommend and bookmarked for future stays!
