Cute B&B conveniently located 10min from the mansions and 10 min from town. Mark was very friendly and cooked an excellent and varied breakfast.
We had the "Snuggery" which was good value for the price. It's very small but quite cute and romantic. Keep in mind that if you have a lot of luggage you won't have a place to put it. There's a closet but it can only fit one medium-sized suitcase. Our second suitcase ended up on the floor near the bed and we had to step over it to get around. Still, we didn't mind, the decor was fresh and airy, the room was spotlessly clean, the bathroom was a good size. Going up and down the stairs was fine, the only problem was the noise you made coming down if your partner happened to already be asleep. It's a metal staircase so it makes funny squeaking sounds that are loud enough to wake the other person up.
No TV, but they offer a tiny DVD player and a couple of old movies to watch which was actually kind of fun and, well, "snug" in the "sunggery". I'd say, go for a romantic wk-end, but get a bigger room if you plan a longer stay.
All in all, very pleasant and we'd go back.

We loved our visit to Newport RI. Mark was very helpful on local advice and cooked a great breakfast, simple but delicious. Our room was very comfortable. Good location for walking in to the centre of town.

We really liked Newport and was one of the highilghts of our trip. It is a place that gives the impression of teeming with wealth. As a consequence staying at the Marshall was very good pricewise compared to a lot of Newport.

We were in the Snuggery and it was certainly that. But there was a lot of charm about it because it had a spiral staircase that led up to the bathroom which made it quite unusual. Being the first room at the top of the stairs, I feared it may be quite noisy with everyone coming and going, but that was not an issue at all. The location of the Marshall was very good because it was a nice short walk down to the main drag.

The room was spotless which was a testament to Mark and his team. Mark was an extremely affable guy who was able to provide plenty of info on locale. He also made a mean breakfast.

All in, the Marshall is aesthetically a very pleasing place to stay. Easily accessible to the centre of Newport it was an excellent place to stay. Go!!!

The Marshall Slocum is a small quaint B&B run by a young husband and wife team. They are charming, accommodating to all requests and the inn is clean and historic. If you are looking for a small charming inn, this one is for you. Down to the hanging swing on the front porch to the back deck where you can relax or enjoy your breakfast. Also parking on the property and a close, short walk to town is a huge plus. Would definitely go again. Thanks for a wonderful stay.
