Beautiful historic Inn with friendly owner in scenic Newport
We were warmly welcomed by Bryan, the owner, who gave us a brief tour of the Inn, shared its history, and offered brandy and cookies. Our room—the Isaac Room—was spacious and elegant, featuring a plush king bed, oversized bathroom with a large shower, a cozy gas fireplace, and windows overlooking Newport’s charming harbor and historic streets. Breakfast in the beautifully decorated dining room included fresh fruit, bagels, muffins, and a delicious homemade spread with pancakes, eggs, bacon, and French toast. The Inn’s ideal location makes exploring town easy, with downtown just steps away. We’re already looking forward to returning and experiencing their festive Christmas décor.

Wonderful, Welcoming Stay in Newport!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Sarah Kendall House during our recent road trip through New England. Of all our inns across Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Rhode Island, this was our favorite. Our room was charming, clean, comfortable and spacious, and the overall house and garden were warm and welcoming. Bryan, Fran and their team were kind and hospitable, giving us great suggestions for things to do, not just during our stay in Newport but also onto our next location. Breakfast was a full spread of delicious options -- hot, cold, savory and sweet. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!

Great location. Nice experience staying in an historic home furnished with antiques. Amazing breakfast made to order. The owners and staff were friendly and informative. Nice touch having a decanter of brandy available in the living room. Definitely recommend staying here !

Horrible Service!!
Unfortunately this was a less than desirable experience! I booked through 3P website and when I called to confirm they told me they wouldn't honor the reservation. They would not give a reason or aid with alternative arrangements. If I had not called to confirm then I would have never been told and they would have refused me a room. Despite having a confirmation email and paying, don't stay here if you want to stay in Newport!!
