We had 11 people staying at the Crow's Nest, and the arrangement worked perfectly for our group, lots of space to spread out and get together when we wanted and to separate when we wanted. We had teenagers and 20-somethings, as well as some old people, and unbelievably, everyone was happy with their accommodations. Paul is an incredibly responsive, gracious host, and made everyone feel welcome throughout the trip. The location could not be better, right in the middle of downtown Newport, convenient to the shops and restaurants on Broadway and Thames. Plenty of blankets and towels. Being right next to the Fastnet Pub was a plus, a great way to start and end an evening. One tip, if you have light sleepers, bring some ear plugs for those on the first floor, there will be some street noise, but that's because of the fabulous location. 22 thumbs up for a memorable experience, highly recommended.
