The Cliffside Inn - A Victorian mansion with original artwork, garden views, and proximity to Newport's Cliff Walk
Situated between Bellevue Avenue and Easton Bay, this grand Victorian Newport hotel features a distinctive yellow clapboard exterior with a red-tiled mansard roof. The Cliffside Inn houses impressive original oil paintings by Beatrice Turner, the American artist who once called this property home. A wraparound porch overlooks manicured lawns, complete with a stone-surrounded communal fire pit. Guest rooms offer flat-screen TVs, seating areas, and air conditioning, while select suites in the Seaview Cottage include private entrances, spa baths, and fireplaces. The main parlor hosts daily communal breakfasts featuring hot entrées such as spinach omelets with feta cheese and avocado toast. Guests can purchase wine from 10 AM to 9 PM in the main house. The property provides free private parking, complimentary WiFi, and concierge services. Located along Newport's most beautiful stretch of shoreline, The Cliffside sits adjacent to the three-and-a-half-mile Cliff Walk. Downtown's shopping and dining on Thames Street is accessible within a 25-minute walk.
Pros
Original Turner paintings and biographical books showcase the property's artistic heritage
Stone-surrounded fire pit creates a communal outdoor gathering space
Daily wine service available from morning to evening
Library and luggage storage facilities enhance guest convenience
Cons
25-minute walk to downtown's Thames Street
Bathroom sizes vary, with some units featuring smaller spaces
“The Cliffside Inn impresses with its Victorian bones and curated interiors, enhanced by original Turner paintings; plus, perks like individualized service elevate the stay. Its location near the Cliff Walk makes exploration easy. This is a charming base for a Newport escape.”
