Lorraine is the best! I cannot recommend a stay with her at the Wayside Inn enough.
I stayed in the library room over the July 4th weekend for a surprise proposal to my girlfriend. The setting personifies Newport. And Lorraine is such a hospitable host, she will be sure to make you feel right at home. In fact, she set up a celebratory champagne gift for us when we arrived back from our proposal. She also has all the Newport recommendations you could need to ensure you make the most of your stay in the city.
As for its location, you get the best of both worlds in Newport. Proximity to the mansions and the cliff walk (it’s essentially right across from the Elms), while also staying close to the wharfs.
All in all, we had a special time thanks to Lorraine.
