We stayed at the Samuel Durfee house this past weekend while celebrating New Years and visiting with family in Newport. It is a charming b&b that is cared for by the most friendly and hospitable couple. Our room was a good size, had all of the amenities we needed and (most importantly for me)..a very comfortable bed. It was a... More

I recently stayed at the Samuel Durfee House for two nights and was very impressed. The rooms were clean and comfortable (including new linens) and the bathrooms modern and bright. Breakfasts were ample in the communal breakfast room and tea/coffee was also available in the afternoon along with cookies/treats. The location is right in the heart of Newport so an... More

My husband and I had a very comfortable stay here recently. Our room was on the first floor and so quiet we couldn't tell that there were other guests and the place was completely booked. The breakfasts were very good and huge. The innkeepers are very personable and had great recommendations for our visit. It really helped to have a... More

My husband and I stayed here for our 10th wedding anniversary. The room was so comfortable, it was the perfect combination of cozy and romantic with modern amenities. We had a flat screen TV in out room and a beautiful deck out the side. The owners are so nice and the breakfast were amazing. This B&B is in the perfect... More

This is the quintisential B&B. A Stylish home looking the part- clean, antique looking with creaking floors and beautiful china. Heather and Mike are friendly hosts and helpful sat where to go and see. We ate at Scales and Shells restaurant one night-highly reccmend. The Pier restaurant we also ate at-just three blocks away on the water- also good but... More

I did a LOT of research months prior to our stay, so even though by the time our trip had arrived I couldn't recall why I'd selected this particular inn, all the reasons quickly became apparent: well-appointed rooms, convenient location, great value, amiable hosts, delicious breakfasts and a quiet night. My impression is that you cannot go wrong with any... More

When we arrived at the Inn, Michael came out to greet us and help with our luggage. He offered a tour of the downstairs and gave a detailed description of their schedule and how things worked; he was very helpful with suggestions and answering any questions. Our room was very clean, the bed was most comfortable, many extras provided -... More

I love doing travel research and ended up choosing the SDH based on their pricing, location and reviews. Well, I've just recently returned home and I must say that the SDH is a wonderful Inn. The Innkeepers Michael and Heather are very hospitable and their Inn is just lovely, and to top things off it's in a great location with... More

My fiancé and I selected the Samuel Durfee House after reading reviews on Trip Advisor. Our experience there exceeded our expectations! The B&B is located just a couple of blocks from the shops, restaurants, and the marina. We were happy that it wasn’t right on the main drag because it was nice and quiet. Michael and Heather made us feel... More
