“Exceptional Service and attention to detail”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I think you can read the other reviews and gain an understanding of the place, location, the incredible breakfast and Jan as your host. All very postive and would definately reccomend. What set our experience apart from some of the other reviews is we had an issue with our room. It was our first time away from our new babies, so we wanted to make this a special weekend. Jan was completely on top of the issue and was over the top accomodating. That's the real difference in service. When there is a problem, how is it handled? Jan got an A+ from us and we had a wonderful enjoyable stay. We hope to be back again soon.

“Rooming house or B&B”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 October 2010

This b & B could have used a common parlor. The only place to hang out was your bedroom. The home has been converted to apts. people rent.

“Beautiful rooms and a gracious hostess”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 September 2010

Jan is very welcoming, while being quite efficient and business like. While the INN is not much to look at on the outside, the rooms are beautiful, clean and comfortable. Jan makes a great breakfast and is very accommodating. The location in the Hill Section is very quiet and convenient. Walk to just about anything. We would stay again anytime.

“My first and great experience in a B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 August 2010

i have never been tempted to go to a Bed & Breakfast, until my wife booked a trip to the John Easton House in Newport, RI.
I have to say, I was impressed of the charm of that place. first, the owner, Jan, was extremely nice with us and you can tell she makes a lot of effort to make sure her customers have an enjoyable stay.
The room was huge, Mr. Clean neat, the bed was pretty comfortable, and the bathroom was huge as well and fully equipped (hair dryer, shampoo, soap, etc..).
the best part was probably the breakfast. Jan cooks everything on her own and puts so much love in her cooking that you feel like you are eating at Home. I can tell you, we were pretty full after such a great breakfast!
Location wise, it's pretty good. First it's quiet, so you won't hear any disturbing traffic noise. then it's 5 minutes walking distance from the Wharf downhill, and just a block away from Bellevue avenue and the Mansion district.

Conclusion: I had a great stay for my first experience in a B&B, and my wife and I are already thinking of coming back to the same place next summer with our family.

Thank you Jan for putting so much energy into our comfort and the quality of our stay!

Sam and Laura.

“Perfect Weekend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2010

So I use Trip Advisor all the time for my own research but have never written a review. This one I felt it was my duty to write since there are so many choices for B&B's in Newport.

First of all, Jan is just a lovely host. Her breakfast were to die for and my husband and I are foodies who live in Tribeca NY. I am still dreaming of the brownies that were left foa an afternoon snack.

The location is great, Its about a 10-15 minute walk to the wharf, just dont wear heels and you are good to go.

The rooms are spacious, clean, and just lovely.

I cant wait to go back next year.
