“Lovely stay. Very Hospitable Owners!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

Michael and Heather are such great owners and they are so hospitable! Michael's breakfast is also fabulous (we are not breakfast people but we woke up early every day just to have the breakfast!) The Jackie O' room was neat and clean and the bed, pillows and sheets were comfortable. It was slightly cold, even with the vent opened up fully (we didnt really complain to the owners so it wasn't their fault by any means). The house is conveniently located, a block away from Thames Street, and close to the Elms, but very quiet as well. Shower pressure was awesome! If I need to nitpick, one minor thing to change would be the softness of the towels, but that's just being nitpicky! Overall, a great stay. Would go back again for sure!

Room Tip: As mentioned in other reviews, Jackie O' is a great room. We picked it because it was at the ba...

“An excellent stay at the Samuel Durfee House”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

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 quiet and relaxing stay.. just what we needed. Will definitely be staying there again on our next trip up.

Room Tip: Perry room

“Excellent B&B, hosts, location and rooms”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 November 2011

people found this review helpful

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 easy walk to the bars/restaurants in town as well as quick walk/drive to the Newport Mansions. For the price paid we felt the Samuel Durfee House outstripped its competitors.

Room Tip: Ida Lewis room had a lovely balcony that caught the sun in the morning. Lovely for some fresh air.

“Comfortable Stay and Great Recommendations!!!”

people found this review helpful

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 little inside info on some places. We enjoyed every one of the recommendations that they offered.

The location is perfect to walk to all of the downtown area.

“Wonderful weekend away from the kids!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011

people found this review helpful

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 location. You can walk to all of the major attractions and restaurants and they have a very nice lot for your car. Ours didn't move the entire weekend. I would absolutely stay here again on my next visit to Newport!

Room Tip: I can't remember the name - it was the something Louise. It was the red room - totally romantic...
