"What an awesome way to experience Newport - it was our first time on a houseboat and Daniel was so kind and informative during our stay. The best thing I can say is that I can not wait to visit again soon and stay on the Waterlily. "

"Super fun location, that made for a really fun 4th of July. Proximity to Fort Adams gave us the best vantage point for fireworks we could have had. House boat was very nicely made up for us, clean as could be. Comfortable bed, head was clean and functional. Water taxi was super convenient and easy to use, also allowed for awesome access to downtown Newport without needing to deal with cars or traffic. Fun to experience town from the perspective of a boater for once. Overall boat gave us...

This place was actually fabulous. The cute house had everything you needed. Even a diffuser attachment for the hairdryer. If you have curly hair you will understand. Wish we could have stayed more nights. Thank you.

This hotel was in an excellent location for our stay and generally was well looked after. Staff were very helpful and breakfast was adequate The pool was a little warm for swimming and we had a problem with the shower head but nothing that spoilt our stay.

Such a great hotel for my family to stay (we have 3 children aged 6mnths, 5 and 9). Convenience of kitchen facilities and onsite laundry with hotel services. Pleasantly surprised by the included breakfast, great selection of hot and cold food. Hotel also offered free drinks, including many alcoholic, and food three evenings a week for a one and a half hour period. One evening was a themed BBQ dinner and we received invitations with little gifts on those days, very sweet extra that the kids...

This is a nice Inn close to Easton beach on the outskirts of Newport. The famous cliff walk is approx 1 mile away. The rooms are well furnished although the fan in the bathroom can be quite noisy. They provide a good quality continental breakfast with a mixture of fresh and pre packaged breakfast snacks. The owner was friendly and helped carry our cases to the room. I would stay here again if I was back in the area.
