We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely go back. The staff were outstanding, the breakfast was delicious and so was the afternoon tea. The rooms all have fireplaces, our room was wonderful. To come back at night and turn on the fireplace and also turn that on in the morning. Bed was very, very comfortable. We have nothing but great things to say about the place.

The inn has all the charm of an old world building that it should. The food at breakfast was good and the service at same was very pleasant. However the room was a bit of a mishmash with so many different fabrics and antique lights. The bathroom was very small.

The breakfast and tea times were wonderful. Free parking around back was a huge convenience. It's in a very walkable area. Staff was super friendly. Lovely center courtyard and sitting rooms. Lots of fireplaces in use and available in our bedroom too. Beautifully maintained inn. We would definitely stay there again!

An excellent Inn conveniently located close to the seafront in Newport. The hosts were friendly and very helpful, the rooms were of a good size and exceptionally clean. The breakfast had a lot of variety with healthy options. It also had parking which is at a premium in Newport. It was so good we stayed a second night.
