Location is impressively close to the harbour and shops. The house itself is very beautiful. It has several unique guest rooms located upstairs away from the common and private areas. The landlord (Rusty) was very polite and helpful. We were 2 people in the Blue Room. It is nicely decorated in a traditional way and has a private bathroom with modern fixtures. It is very comfortable, and was pleasant at all times without air conditioning. It is in a quiet area so we were able to keep windows open all night and enjoy the fresh air. The continental style breakfasts (coffee, pastry/bread and fruit) were just right to get us going for the day. There is a small fridge in a common area to put your drinks or small items. There are both indoor (screened sun room) and outdoor sitting areas to enjoy your drink at any time, including late evenings after a day out on the town. Parking was provided and there were no hidden costs. We hope to return here some day.

Steps from the famous Cliff Walk and a 20 min walk to downtown makes this the ideal location. The room was quaint but beautifully decorated and appointed. The room had a fireplace and a large shower, as well as a bay window looking out to ocean. Each morning there was a delicious breakfast assortment served and a wine and cheese hour each day at 5pm. There was also a beverage station with tea, coffee and water available all day as well as an assortment of nuts, trail mix and candy. Both ladies that worked there during our stay were so sweet and made us feel at home. We cannot wait to stay here again and recommend that you consider it as well!

It blew our minds that an inn could be so well located and yet so tranquil. So cozy (not in the…read more"small" sense Realtors use, I mean cozy like hygge) and yet so pretty. So welcoming and yet so unintrusive. So safe but so . . . nifty! We stayed in the Courtyard Suite and found it to be just lovely. Slept wonderfully. All the staff we encountered were welcoming far beyond what mere professionalism required (everyone, but particularly thinking of Glenn, Sue, Brenda, Toby and Liz) - I always felt as welcome at the Francis Malbone House as I did at my grandmother's when I was a kid. Breakfasts and teas were terrific. The indoor and outdoor spaces are beautiful, tasteful and interesting. We absolutely look forward to returning.

Fortunately, the gods smiled down on us when we called Shell and they had a room! This is not your typical B&B- it is a modern, clean beautiful house and they were both so warm, kind and welcoming. We had the ground floor all to ourselves with our own bathroom and big comfy bed, game room with a pool table and big tv- what a dream! We came on a rainy weekend, but they have a gorgeous pool and yard we'll have to come back for. Breakfast was delicious!!! french toast, eggs, fruit, fresh coffee and real maple syrup! all elegantly and perfectly prepared. Definitely the best option if you are visiting the area. You will feel at home with such wonderful hosts.

We stayed in room 204, which was perfect for one night. The bed was comfy, room was clean and amenities were everything you could need. Nice to have access to a fridge and microwave since we always pack meals on our trips. Breakfast options are a menu choice the night before and are very good! Benedict for hubs, French toast for me. The only downside was a lack of a counter/ table in the bathroom for toiletries. Would def stay here again! Free parking, walkable area to many of the things we love to visit in Newport and friendly people!

Modernized plumbing...no problem with hot water as is often the case in older b&bs. I believe Tiffany was the chef and her breakfasts are awesome. We had French Toast and Eggs Benedict. The french toast is probably the best I've had. The first morning, we were able to eat on the patio with our dog. The next, it was raining, so they brought breakfast to our room and we were able to eat there. They also offer brandy and snacks in the living room in the evenings and I did enjoy a nightcap on our last night. Check in was contactless via text and codes to get into your room due to covid

I quite literally found Chart House by google mapping the area and searching 'hotels' to scan prices. I saw Chart House, looked at the website kind of briefly and booked it. When I tell you I was FLOORED at how gorgeous the property and room were. The building itself is beautiful and historic feeling. We had a parking spot that came in clutch as a boat show was going on. We stayed in the Jane Pickens suite. It is massive, has it's own sunroom, a huge bathroom area with a rainfall shower set up. It was so comfortable it made it hard to leave the room to go do things around town. Not to mention we had a complimentary breakfast everyday, and this is not a holiday inn style buffet, it was made to order absolutely delicious breakfast. Aside from the property itself, it is within walking distance to everything we wanted to see and do. 5 mins to Bowen's Warf, just a few blocks from Thames St. We even walked the 15/20 mins to Easton Beach and the start of the Cliff Walk (but ubered back at the end bc we were wiped from the walk itself). Our host Nicole was so accommodating and sweet. I have not been able to stop talking about the Chart House Inn to everyone who has asked about our trip. I cannot wait to come back and I wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else on our next visit.

We had homemade scones, french toast, quiche. It is a perfect place to stay if you want to explore the local wineries and go to the beach.

Beware of the local 25mph speed limit!
