“Spending time in this restored 300-year-old house, a recent recipient of Newport's Historic Preservation award, felt like stepping back in time, yet with every modern comfort considered. I was particularly drawn to its location, a quiet spot within easy walking distance of the main attractions, and the promise of breakfasts made with local, organic ingredients-a detail that speaks volumes about the care taken here. It strikes me as an ideal choice for couples or families seeking a blend of history, charm, and a genuinely personal touch.”
