We stayed there last weekend and enjoyed a last-minute getaway. Newport, especially Thames St, is very crowded in the summer months, so this was a treat to be there in the off-season. Even so, the Inn was almost full! It is a beautiful historic house. Our room was in a lovely addition at the back with a semi-private courtyard. It had a high ceiling, wide cove molding, whirlpool, gas fireplace. Delicious breakfast was served in the morning, and we also enjoyed the tea with soup and pastries when we arrived in the afternoon. Staff was very friendly and helpful, parking is plentiful and convenient (a plus in Newport). There is an enclosed courtyard for all guests to enjoy breakfast and tea in the warmer months.

We have been staying at the Francis Malbone House for years, and have never been disappointed. The staff are professional yet warm and friendly. We are always made to feel welcome and the service is top notch. Each of the rooms are nicely decorated and most have working fireplaces. There is an afternoon tea which includes many snacks, cakes and other treats. In addition, the breakfast options are quite good. They usually offer two choices, such as eggs florentine or banana nut pancakes. Breakfast can get busy and you may find yourself having to share a table with another couple. This is a romantic inn not suitable for families with young children. If it is your fist time visiting you should note that the exterior doors will be locked. You have to ring the doorbell to gain access to the building until you get your keys. The location is ideal. For a taste of where the locals go you should visit some of the restaurants on upper Thames Street (take a left when exiting the inn) or go over to Broadway. The proprietor,Will, makes excellent suggestions for activities and dining.

The room was nice and cozy, the service all around was wonderful and the breakfast was top notch!

We've been to the Malbone House 4 times and still can't wait to get back. Every room we've stayed in has been stunning and elegant while extremely comfortable. Our visits have always been in winter and we enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and love sitting in front of the cozy fire with a glass of wine. The afternoon tea and pastries are fantastic and the breakfasts are delicious!
