The window A/C unit was difficult to sleep through, but the innkeeper was attentive and helpful, providing a large circulating fan to keep us comfortable. Room was quiet, sufficient for our stay, and walkable to all of the beauty of Newport. The complimentary weekend breakfast at their restaurant was excellent! Would stay here again. :-)

I didn’t pay attention to the details where it says that for some rooms the bathroom is separate, since I never experienced that. It was very inconvenient. The building is very old, I think a bit overpriced for what they offer. Breakfast is served only on weekends. There pas a parking lot for each room though, which is nice

This was one of the best B&Bs that I have ever stayed in. The owner was so responsive to all my requests... and to have free coffee in the room and free parking right in downtown Newport was awesome.

The property is in a prime location, and we found it very easy to walk to all of our favorite spots. We absolutely loved our room (we were in the Jane Pickens) and found it very spacious. Check-in was easy and Nicole was very helpful. Honestly, I never write reviews, but I couldn’t have asked for a better anniversary weekend. I will absolutely be staying here again.

We had the Ida Lewis Room which was awesome. Tons of light and space to enjoy our stay. The bed, pillows and sheets were very comfortable and great quality. The bathroom huge. Loved the decoration and attention to details. The location was perfect for us since it is in the middle of everything there is to see but yet in a quiet and lovely neighborhood with historical houses. Restaurants, bay, Thames Street, mansions and hikes are all at walking distance. Having your own parking space is also a plus. Would definitely stay here again!! Thank you Nicole for making our trip to Newport be unforgettable

Coffee was not available anywhere on the property, which was surprising. Apparently there was tea but no cups or saucers to be found. We stayed in the loft, which shares a bathroom among 4 rooms. There were no towels when it was my turn - no washcloths or hand towels either. None stored anywhere in the bathroom. I got a response an hour later from the host. Breakfast was limited to only Sat and Sun at different locations that opened at 9 and 10am so early birds were out of luck. The room was small dimly lite and loud. The air conditioner is old and inefficient. I would not stay again.

The Chart House is quaint and charming. The first floor decor is welcoming. The parking is great. Love the location in the historic district and proximity to good restaurants. Unfortunately, breakfast isn’t available on weekdays. The single rooms are small and a chair would be nice.

This place is a perfect blend of historic charm and cozy comfort. It was great for my mother/daughter weekend trip! The homemade breakfast was delicious, and the location is ideal—just a short walk from Newport’s downtown. Also, parking is free and eliminated the stress of having to find a spot.
