This was our first time in Newport. It was about a 4 hr. Drive from Central New Jersey and we didn’t realize how early we’d be arriving. I reached out to Hugh and he gave me a call and interrupted his plans to check us into our room about an hour early. The guest wing of the house has two bedrooms and a shared bathroom. We originally booked the larger room with the skylight, but the other bedroom without the skylight was available, so we switched over! There wasn’t another couple so it was nice to have the floor to ourselves.
Location and parking were great. It was about a 15 to 20 minute walk down to the Wharf and even closer to Thames Street and the other restaurants and shops.
The room was clean, simple, and comfortable. There’s AC which is really nice during the hot summer months and fridge to keep your drinks or food cool. I loved the vintage wood furniture and other decor in both rooms. The bed was comfortable and who even provides Eye masks which I’ve never seen at other Airbnbs. My husband and I brought our own but it’s a nice touch so you can sleep in.
The bathroom is clean and had all the toiletries that you could need. Lots of hot water and good water pressure!
I really enjoyed getting to know Hugh and hearing his stories. He was a gracious and personable host who is passionate about hospitality and Newport. He’s happy to help guide you around Newport or let you do your own thing. We would definitely stay with Hugh again for our next trip to Newport! Thank you!
