Whether you are attending one of the many events here in town, or just love to be by the sea, the old world charm of the Admirals Inns will provide you with a memorable stay. Feel at home in this sunny, authentic estate residence near the mansion area of Newport. Guest quarters at Castle Hill retain the warmth and quiet luxury of 19th century seacoast life. This section of our site showcases the Agassiz mansion, and provides a look at our exclusive Harbor House rooms and beach front cottages. There is ample parking - a distinct plus in car crowded Newport.
Accommodations consist of two double bedrooms, one single and two queens, one with private bath.
The included breakfast is outstanding. This Second-Empire Victorian manor house was built in 1880 by Maryland governor Thomas Swann and later owned by noted artist Beatrice Turner, whose life and times here were chronicled by Life magazine in 1950. Our historic inn was built in 1760 for Colonel Francis Malbone, who made his fortune as a shipping merchant. His fleet was moored in the Newport Harbor, across from his Colonial Mansion. Legend holds that the Colonel once had an underground tunnel from the house to the waterfront through which he smuggled goods to avoid paying duty to the King.
