On our first trip to the Sanctuary, we ended up doing the trail to Hanging Rock. Because of my height, there are portions where I had to crouch from one rock surface to get to another stable flat area to get my footing. My husband, who is taller than me by a lot, was more easily able to traverse the various rock heights. So what I'm saying is - Shorties, be careful out here!!

Each bathroom was really nice as well as the bedrooms. Three of us stay in the room with three bunk beds. Super clean, the toiletries, i.e.. the shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, and hand lotion were phenomenal! They were from a local company that makes their own aromatherapy products. I wanted to buy some, but was unable to get to the store in Newport while it was opened. Probably can look on the internet, but I think it's pretty expensive. This place was really amazing and really you couldn't ask for more. Great kitchen, great dining room, great living room, great middle space, bedrooms and outdoor space. Great space, beautiful wood floors, the heat works, beautiful views, the house is right on the property of the bird sanctuary and right next to the gift shop. Beautiful location and easy walk to the beach and just a beautiful Serene peaceful location! Thank you!

You can do a tasting, order a bottle, and bring your own food to set up on the patio, lawn or in the stable for a picnic. Some days there is a food truck onsite as well. Depending on the vintage year, my favorite wine tends to change. This year, I really liked the Vidal Blanc. It was aromatic and crisp, perfectly refreshing for a warm day. At times on the weekends, they will have live music, so it's a great place to hang out with friends. Also, for my fellow dog moms, our furry babies are allowed here (human babies as well!). They have an event space in the farm/stable building and they recently built a new facility for wine production. We have been here during all seasons and it truly never disappoints! Lentz_explore

We waited 15 minutes and watched 5 bartenders with their heads down. No smiles, no eye contact. When we arrived, there were 6 people.

Will be right with you" is not something they do there. Couldn't believe it. Never experienced anything like this and walked away disappointed. Maybe steps of service could be implemented because we had no service whatsoever and was ignored while standing at the bar with 1 other person who also was waiting to order.

Queen Anne's was exactly that for us. We had about 75 guests, and were comfortable, but cozy. Here are some words that come to mind when I think of the space: chic, vintage, intentional, beautiful, versatile and lovely. Amanda, the owner, was great from the start. Patient, kind and helpful. Her experience was evident throughout our entire planning process. She worked with us to up to the very end, easing our little anxieties and assisting us with whatever we needed. The staff at Queen Anne's was amazing! We were so pleased with the above and beyond service. A room flip was needed after the ceremony, for the reception. It was done in a timely, efficient fashion, and for that, we (and our guests), were so grateful. Food was exactly what we expected- and delicious. We opted for food stations, rather than a formal sit-down dinner. Appetizer platters, salad, sliders and pizza. Everything was fantastic. No complaints from us or our guests. We had a blast! Our wedding was everything we wanted and more. Queen Anne's and Amanda have so much to do with our unforgettable experience! 15/10 recommend. P.S. Photos by Mat & Ash Photography (the best)

Amanda was always available for any questions and there on the event day to ensure it started without a hitch. Would highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for a romantic and enchanting spot in Newport.

Located on the outskirts of Newport in Middletown, this was a very nice hotel. I honestly wasn't…read moresure what to expect, given the overall ratings, but it turned out to be one of our favorite hotels on our 12-day New England road trip. The bed was SUPER COMFY. The room was very large, very clean, and we were very close to the elevators, as requested. On the date of our arrival, when we attempted to turn into the parking lot, we were being diverted to quite far away because the hotel was bombarded with three major events, and there was absolutely NOWHERE to park. However, when we told them of my difficulties with walking due to my bad back and knee, they made a special concession for us and actually gave us a great spot. Everyone else was being diverted elsewhere !! By the end of the evening, the hotel returned to normal, and many spots had become available again... but it sure was scary when we first arrived. I would definitely stay here again when in Newport. We found Newport itself to be very cramped and crazy, so it was nice staying a bit off the main beat.
