Off the beaten path, Norm's place in Little Compton is a slice of Rhode Island heaven. Norm was a wonderful host. Communication was easy from beginning to end, we were welcomed with a basket of yummy treats, plenty of cold bottled water in the fridge, a stocked coffee pot and English muffins for the morning and then some. Norm was also great with suggesting local eateries and made himself available for any questions.
This is the place to come if you are looking for beautiful walks on the nearby beach (South Shore and Goosewing Preserve) , sunsets and fireflies, peace and quiet. If you care to venture out - you can find all the shopping and amenities not too far away in Newport or where we enjoyed even more, Bristol (not as crowded). The East Bay Pike Path is about a 30 minute drive if you like to bicycle, it is along a nice paved path that goes by the shore, through meadows and marshes and a couple lovely state parks. Buzzards Bay Brewery is just a short drive away in Westport, Ma. on a farm with local brews, food trucks, and music on Saturday nights. There are farm stands, creameries, and beautiful sights all around Little Compton and the surrounding areas. This is really the area to come if you are wanting to get away from it all. Little Compton truly is probably one of Rhode Islands best kept secrets, I almost hate to share as I hope it keeps it small, quaint charm.
